(Low-Calorie Version) Pumpkin Apple Potato Salad [Rice Cooker Recipe]

This salad uses fresh milk and apples for a refreshing, low-calorie version.
The fresh milk reduces the amount of mayonnaise needed, lowering the calories while keeping the texture smooth.
The crisp, sweet apples add a slightly tart fruit aroma, balancing the richness of the mayonnaise.
The fluffy pumpkin, with its skin included, adds a chewy texture to the salad.
Tips
Milk Cat wants to tell you...
▪ Using small potatoes gives a chewier texture, while larger potatoes are fluffier.
▪ You can sprinkle roasted almond pieces, cashews, sesame seeds, raisins, or cranberries to enhance the flavor.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Pumpkin Apple Potato Salad Ingredients: Scrub the pumpkin skin clean, scoop out the seeds with a spoon. Peel and chop the apple, soak in salt water, then drain.
- 2
Peel and chop the potatoes. The pumpkin cooks easily, so it can be left whole. Wash the egg and place it on parchment paper. Add 1 cup of water to the rice cooker, and let it steam for 5 minutes after the switch pops up.
- 3
Mix the ingredients in two steps: Use a fork and spoon. First, make the salad mash: Lightly mash the hot potatoes and season with some salt (for a sweet and salty taste). Then add the steamed, large chunks of pumpkin (start with 1/2), mayonnaise, and fresh milk, and mix well.

Next, make the salad texture: Add the chopped apple (adding it now prevents it from releasing water), chop the egg white (use the yolk for decoration), and add the large chunks of pumpkin. Finally, add a little mayonnaise and gently mix.

Finish by placing the chopped egg yolk on top of the salad and squeezing mayonnaise for decoration to complete the Apple Pumpkin Potato Salad.

Rutabaga Salad (a low carb protein packed potato salad alternative) Rutabaga Salad (a low carb protein packed potato salad alternative)
Always thinking of ways to keep my diet low carb but still enjoy things at least similar to the "traditional" versions I love. Potato salad is one of my favorite things but I'm still trying to even keep potatoes low on my diet, so in steps rutabaga, which I've used to make fries before and loved, so why not a potato salad substitute? You can add any extra mix-ins you want (I like adding bacon and cheddar cheese too) but this is just the basic starter version.#June2026 StephieCanCook -

I wanted to think of a potato salad with lots of cucumber that's also good with bread. The key is to add grainy mustard.Make sure to add the vinegar, wiener sausages, and coarsely ground black pepper while the potatoes are still hot.I usually make a large amount to serve in a sandwich the following morning.

My 2 housemates (sister and brother-in-law) aren't really keen on potato salad. So I adjusted my go-to recipe to fewer servings. It's also good with the addition of sliced black olives, but I didn't have any on hand. Also excellent to garnish servings with crisp cooked bacon, crumbled! 😋💜😋 Maggie Conlon -
Loaded Potato Salad Loaded Potato Salad
My dad just came out of surgery and had a hankering for potato salad, but so much potato salad is such bland garbage. So, I thought for a bit about potatoes, and how everyone loves a loaded baked potato, and, voila, Loaded Potato Salad, a mixture of potatoes, sour cream, chopped leeks, cheese, bacon, red pepper, etc. My dad loved it.
