Why We Love This Recipe

• Very tasty! I don’t care if it’s summer time or not, I’ll eat this any day of the week! This Vegan Potato Salad, beyond being healthy, is just as tasty as its original counterpart. Potato salad is a traditional recipe in my family and when I heard there might be vegan versions of this recipe, I was excited to give it a try. What I love about this recipe is the use of chickpeas instead of eggs and vegan mayo in place of regular mayo. That’s why the chickpeas in this Chickpea Potato Salad are perfect because chickpeas do have a somewhat egg-like taste and texture. Also, the pickles and dill really bring the recipe to life and it stands up well on any picnic table!

How To Make Vegan Potato Salad

1. Cook potatoes. Boil potatoes roughly 15 minutes, let cool, and peel.
2. Cut veggies. Chop celery, dice pickles and onions.
3. Mash chickpeas. Drain, wash, and lightly crush chickpeas in a bowl.
4. Prepare potatoes. Cut potatoes into cubes.
5. Make dressing. Combine all dressing ingredients together in a separate bowl.
6. Mix everything. Add all ingredients into a single bowl, pour dressing over the top and toss thoroughly.

Tips

• Don’t overcook the potatoes or they will likely not stay cubed but will fall apart when you mix the salad.
• Don’t mash all the chickpeas; a few whole chickpeas adds character and texture to the recipe.
• Add extra Vegan mayo for a creamier texture.

Variations

• Use dry dill instead of fresh.
• Add carrots.
• Add pepperoncinis to spice things up a bit.
• Use white onion instead of red.
• Use lime juice instead of lemon.
