Creamy Vegan Potato Salad Recipe image

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. You need to put this on your site!" At the risk of appearing unashamedly self-congratulatory, I have to agree with my discerning friends. This potato salad has a creamy yet crunchy texture, with a zesty flavour that strikes a nice balance between sharp and sweet. It's a wonderful example of how this quick raw vegan mayonnaise can act like the little black dress in your culinary wardrobe. With the right accessories -some fresh crisp vegetables and the right amount of sea salt and cracked pepper -the simple becomes the sublime, and this little potato dish is dressed to impress. Snouts far and wide agree -this recipe is a stunner, a winner, and not to be missed.
