Ingredients

Serves = 6

  • 5 medium potatoes, cleaned thoroughly and chopped into quarters
  • 1-2 eggs
  • 4-5 stalks of celery, washed well
  • 4-5 large dill pickles
  • 3 spring onions
  • 1/4 bunch parsley
  • 1/4 bunch chives
  • 1/4 bunch thyme
  • 1 Tbsp reduced-fat mayonnaise
  • 2 Tbsp reduced fat Greek yogurt
  • 5 medium potatoes, cleaned thoroughly and chop into quarters

It’s this easy

  1. To a medium saucepan, add potatoes and fill with cold water until the potatoes are just covered. Bring the water to the boil and cook for 10-15 minutes. Potatoes are ready when they can be easily pierced with a fork
  2. Remove potatoes from the boil, drain the hot water and run the potatoes under cold water. Set aside and allow the potatoes to cool completely
  3. Whilst the potatoes are cooking, add eggs and enough cold water to cover them, and bring the water to the boil. Once the water is boiling cook eggs for 6 minutes for hard boiled yolks. Remove from the heat, and drain hot water. Allow the eggs to cool, peel and cut into small pieces
  4. Whilst the potatoes and eggs are cooking, slice celery into thin slices, chop pickles into small pieces, finely chop herbs, chives and spring onions.
  5. Using the saucepan you cooked the potatoes in, or a large bowl, add the cooled potatoes, celery, herbs and spring onions, and mix to combine
  6. Gently mix in the eggs and mayonnaise into the potatoes and vegetables until evenly distributed

Tweaks

  • Use finely chopped red onion instead of the spring onion
  • You can make this salad the day ahead, which will allow the flavours to develop further

What is healthy eating?

Eating healthy is making sure you enjoy a wide variety of foods from each of the five major food groups daily, in the amounts recommended. The five major food groups as recommended by the Australian Guide to Healthy Eating are:

  1. vegetables and legumes/bean
  2. fruit
  3. lean meats and poultry, fish, eggs, tofu, nuts and seeds, legumes/beans
  4. grain (cereal) foods, mostly wholegrain and/or high cereal fibre varieties
  5. milk, yoghurt, cheese and/or alternatives, mostly reduced fat.

Foods are grouped together because they provide similar amounts of key nutrients and eating a variety of foods from the list above helps to promote good health and reduce the risk of disease.

How do I improve my diet?

If you want to improve your diet you have come to the right place. By completing the Healthy Eating Quiz you’ll receive instant personalised feedback and a report on your diet quality to highlight any areas where you can improve your overall eating habits. Your score is based on the frequency and variety of the foods consumed from the five major food groups mentioned above. No Money No Time can help you improve your score by providing tips, goals and suggestions. On top of this we will provide quick, cheap and healthy recipes as well as credible answers to diet hacks, myths and FAQ’s.

Is my diet healthy?

Dietary habits are different between people. Some people choose to follow a particular diet (i.e., Keto diet or vegan diet) while some have to make changes due to certain food restrictions or health conditions. If you want to know if what you usually eat is healthy, then do the Healthy Eating Quiz today to give you the answers in less than 10 minutes.

Why is healthy eating important?

Your HEQ score and personalised feedback report is based on the frequency and variety of healthy core foods you usually eat. This is important because no single food contains all the nutrients we need to stay healthy. Some foods are higher in nutrients than others and people who have a lot of variety in the foods they eat are more likely to be healthy and to stay healthy. In other words, if you can eat a large variety of vegetables as opposed to only 2-3 types of vegetables, the benefits are much greater. This type of diet also helps you to feel better, think better and perform better during your usual daily activities.
