"Veganize" this classic summer salad

Alexa Soto of Fuelled Naturally loves to “veganize” classic comfort foods from her youth, like this creamy, mustard-heavy potato salad that’s begging for a place at your next summer barbeque.

Ingredients


POTATO SALAD

  • 3 pounds Yukon gold potatoes, cut into 2-inch pieces
  • 1 cup finely diced celery
  • ½ cup finely diced onion
  • 1 bunch chives, minced
  • ½ cup organic sweet relish
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

VEGAN MAYO

  • 1 cup raw cashews
  • 2 lemons juiced
  • 1 teaspoon white wine vinegar
  • ½ teaspoon dijon mustard
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup water

Instructions

  • Make the vegan mayo: Soak raw cashews in hot water for at least 20 minutes. Place soaked cashews, juice of 2 lemons, white wine vinegar, dijon mustard, salt, and water in a high-speed blender or food processor; blend until smooth. Set aside.
  • Cook the potatoes: Preheat oven at 400°. Place Yukon gold potatoes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and season with salt and pepper. Bake in preheated oven for 35 minutes or until potatoes are slightly browned. Remove from oven and cool for 10 minutes.
  • Bring it all together: Place potatoes in a large bowl along with the vegan mayo, celery, onion, chives, sweet relish, garlic powder, dijon mustard and pepper. Mix gently to combine. Serve immediately or chill in the fridge; top with chives just before serving.
