I am diabetic so I've made this recipe diabetic-friendly by using only half a potato and saving the other half for potato salad, etc. Next, I would increase the green beans to half cup portion, add the tuna or salmon, capers or olives, low-cal dressing and enjoy! You could even cube the potato and mix all together instead of topping the potato.
