Lighten up potato salad by decreasing the amount of potatoes, and bulking it up with beets and lentils. The lentils are an excellent source of iron, fiber, folate, thiamin, and vitamin B6 needed for a healthy heart and a healthy body, while beets pack essential nitrates that help improve blood flow. (If you’re not a huge fan of regular beets, look for golden beets in the produce aisle—they’re sweeter and less earthy-tasting.)
