How to make this Healthy Vegan Potato Salad

Firstly, I boiled red potatoes in a sauce pan until they were tender. (insert fork to judge its tenderness. Do not overcook because we do not want it mashed).

Secondly, I peeled the potatoes and chopped them into 1-inch size.

Thereafter, I combined all the vegetables in a salad bowl and gently tossed them.

Afterwards, I added the condiments and seasonings and gently tossed them again.

Lastly, I garnished it with more dill. However, garnishing with fresh dill enhances the presentation of this dish and taste too.

I personally prefer it cold so I refrigerated it for 30 minutes. However, you may serve it immediately if desired.

I guarantee you will fall in love with this vegan potato salad the moment you put the first bite into your mouth.

Expert tips:

• I used oil free vegan mayo for this recipe to make it as healthy as possible.
• While boiling the potatoes make sure you do not over boil them. They should be tender enough so that they can be chopped into pieces. They should no be mushy.
• Feel free to boil the potatoes in the pressure cooker if desired.
• Most importantly, boil the potatoes with the skin on. After boiling and cooling, peel them and chop. This helps potatoes to retain its nutrition and the exact texture that this recipe requires. This step also ensures that the potatoes do not retain extra moisture.
