Lunchbox #1: Potato Salad Salad

After getting happy hour sushi for the second time in less than a week, I had no reason to cook a big meal tonight. However, I still had to think about lunch for Monday at work. I suppose it would have been easy enough to go out to eat tomorrow, but the closest places to my work are Chipotle (too intense) and Panera (too gross and expensive).

So I threw together a healthy potato salad and paired it with spinach and a small green pepper (pepperoncini). That's why its Potato Salad Salad. For the potato part, I basically just boiled about ten small red potatoes for ten minutes. Melt a couple tablespoons of butter and add that to the cut up, boiled potatoes. There were also sandwich sized packets of mayo and mustard in my fridge, so I threw them in. A cup of plain non-fat yogurt completed the sauce. Sliced scallions give it a nice zing, while 10 chopped olives and some parsley make it taste homey and familiar. Of course, I added one diced green chili as well.

I'll be having this for lunch on Tuesday and Wednesday too...
