Creamy Vegan Potato Salad
(1)
15 minutes
I recently shared this potato salad with my friends Kris, Michelle, Emily, Nicole, and my father-in-law, Bob; and the reaction was unanimous–“Oh Wow! I could eat this salad every day. This is a keeper”. This potato salad has a creamy yet crunchy texture, with a zesty flavour that strikes a nice balance between sharp and sweet and includes the vegan mayonnaise recipe.

- Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover them with cold filtered water.
- Add 2 tablespoons of sea salt to the water and bring to the boil. Simmer for about 10 minutes or until just done.
- Rinse them with cold water and drain thoroughly.
- Transfer the potatoes to a mixing bowl and combine with all of the chopped vegetables (except the parsley).
- To make the mayonnaise: Put the cashews and cauliflower in a food processor and add the water until combined well.
- Slowly add the oil in one steady stream, and process until thick and creamy.
- Place the rest of the ingredients into the blender to taste, and process until smooth.
- Add in some more salt, mustard or lemon juice to taste until you create your perfect blend.
- Pour the dressing over the vegetables and mix thoroughly.
- Stir through the parsley, and then season with sea salt and black pepper to taste.
- Chill or serve at room temperature. YUM!
Tip
Please note – you will need a high speed blender in order to achieve a really creamy consistency.
