I love a good salad and this is yet another Charlotte potato salad, but this time one suitable for fast days.
I wasn't sure this one would be suitable when I made it. I mean come on, it has potatoes, cheese and dressing.
Surely not?
But it is!
It comes in at only 300 calories per portion.

Potato and Beetroot Salad with Mozzarella
This tasty and satisfying salad is perfect for the 5:2 diet. Only 300 calories per serving and you even get a drizzle of salad dressing.
Ingredients
- 500g charlotte potatoes, halved and cooked until tender
- 20 baby plum tomatoes
- 1 ball light mozzarella, torn roughly
- 20 baby beets in vinegar
- ½ courgette, grated
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 1 handful fresh dill, chopped
- a good grinding of black pepper
Instructions
1. Before assembling your salad, pat the beetroot dry on kitchen paper, or your salad with turn pink. Divide the potatoes, mozzarella, tomatoes, courgette and beetroot between 4 plates, then make your dressing. 2. To make your dressing, simply whizz up the oil, vinegar and herbs together and season with black pepper. You can also do this with a fork or whisk, but I have a mini food processor that is perfect for these small jobs.3. Dress the salad and serve. You may season with salt if you think it needs it.4. Enjoy!
