WW Creamy Bacon Potato Salad (Low-Point Version)

WW Creamy Bacon Potato Salad (Low-Point Version)

⭐ 3–4 WW Points per serving (makes 6 servings)
Still delicious and full of flavor — just lighter on the mayo and sugar.

This version hits that same “wow I’m not making it any other way” feeling, but without blowing your points. The smoky bacon + sweet chili combo makes it taste like a braai-side dish that somehow got healthy.


🧂 Ingredients (WW-Friendly Makeover)

Base

  • 1 lb baby potatoes, boiled & quartered (about 12 points total)
  • 3 slices center-cut bacon, cooked & chopped (3 points)
  • ½ cup chopped red onion
  • ½–1 cup chopped robot peppers (red/yellow/green)
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp braai & grill seasoning
  • 1 tsp potato spice or seasoning salt

Lightened Creamy Dressing

  • ¼ cup light mayonnaise (3 points)
  • ¼ cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt (0 points — keeps it creamy with fewer points)
  • 1 tbsp light sweet chili sauce (1 point)
  • Fresh parsley, chopped

Total recipe: ~19 points
Per serving (6 servings): ~3–4 points


👩‍🍳 Instructions

  1. Boil baby potatoes until tender; drain and let cool slightly.
  2. Pan-fry bacon until crispy; chop into pieces.
  3. In a bowl, toss potatoes with peppers, red onion, paprika, braai seasoning, and potato spice.
  4. In a separate bowl, mix:
    • light mayo
    • Greek yogurt
    • light sweet chili sauce
  5. Pour dressing over the potato mix and toss until coated.
  6. Add bacon last (keeps it crispy).
  7. Sprinkle parsley and taste for seasoning.

🔥 Tips to Keep Points Low

  • Swap more mayo for more yogurt if you want even fewer points.
  • Use turkey bacon (0–1 point per slice depending on brand).
  • Add extra robot peppers for volume with zero points.
