A smooth and creamy fat-free Vegan Potato Salad without using any mayo, tofu, or nuts.  The secret is in the sauce!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 red potatoes (about 2 pounds)
  • 2 ribs celery
  • 1/4 red onion
  • 1/4 red bell pepper
  • 2-4 Tbs pickle relish

  • 3 Tbs lemon juice

  • 1 Tbs dill pickle juice
  • 1 Tbs maple syrup
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp ground pepper
  • 1/2 tsp celery seed
  • 1/4 tsp onion powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt

  1. Wash and scrub the potatoes

  6. For the dressing, drain and rinse the beans and add them to your blender along with all the remaining dressing ingredients.  Blend on high until smooth.  Add 1 Tbs water at a time to thin if needed.
  7. Chop the cooled potatoes and carefully mix them with the salad ingredients,
  8. Fold in at least 1 cup of the dressing (or as much as you like).  Mix carefully.
  9. Chill for at least 30 minutes and serve.
  10. Garnish with a dusting of paprika if desired.
