Ingredients

  • 1 small bag (approx 3-4 cups) baby potatoes cut into quarters
  • 3 celery ribs
  • 2 green onions
  • 1/2 cup fresh parsley

Cashew Mayo Dressing

  • 1 cup raw cashews *soaked overnight or in water for 2 hours
  • 1/4 cup aquafaba*
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tsp dijon mustard
  • 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 tsp black salt optional
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Instructions

  1. Cover potatoes in a pot with water, cover and bring to a boil. Cook for about 20 -25 min, or just done. You don’t want the potatoes to be mushy, just fork tender. Drain and let cool completely.**

  2. Chop celery, green onions, and parsley. Place in a large bowl and add cooled potatoes, dried dill, and capers.

  3. Blend mayo ingredients*** until smooth. Pour sauce over veggies and stir well to coat.

  4. Serve immediately. Best if used within 2 days.

Recipe Notes

* Aquafaba is just a fancy word for bean water. It acts much like eggs would in a recipe. I use a little of the juice from a can of beans and store the rest (and the beans) in the fridge for another recipe. Both pinto beans and chickpeas work great for this recipe!

**I like to make my potatoes the day before and let cool in the fridge overnight. If making the same day, give at least 2 hours to cool completely.

***The cashews need to soak overnight or at least 2 hours prior to making sauce.
