Vegan potato salad with creamy cashew dressing, who comes?
You are invited and should bring a Salad that really tastes good to everyone? Then you are simply right with this recipe. So far, it has really tasted everyone, whether at the barbecue or at the picnic nibbled from the jar. Let’s start with the potatoes. Preparation is simple, boil water, brush a little potatoes and boil with the peel until soft. The Dressing could not be simpler with only 9 ingredients. Started with cashews, some Plant milk , olive oil, Dijon mustard, maple syrup, dill, salt, pepper and garlic.
Not missing here, of course, pickles and vegetables:
- Paprika
- Spring onion
- Carrots
- Cucumbers
- Celery
These are just examples, of course, you can use all kinds of vegetables, depending on your taste. Be creative!
The perfect caramel salad for the vegan picnic
I find the vegan potato salad very practical for a picnic, as it is super easy to pack in jars or in eco-friendly transport boxes. The EU has finally made a start and banned plastic straws. However, each and every one of us can do a hell of a lot to avoid single-use waste. It starts with the fabric bag (sooo retro) and ends with the bamboo toothbrush. I think it’s great that so many great projects are now working towards a cleaner environment. I think RECUP https://recup.de/ is a reusable coffee cup that you can have filled at different cafés in Germany(no sponsoring, but advertising because the brand is mentioned).
Are potatoes actually healthy?
But now back to our potato salad, because at this point I would like to clear up once again the rumor that potatoes are unhealthy. The good news is that potatoes are pretty darn healthy. It’s the preparation alone that decides whether you want to make a french fry that is dripping with oil French fries from it or a healthy one Recipe healthy french fry.
Basically, potatoes are a wonderful, low-calorie food. Here again, the advantages summarized:
- very low in calories, consist of 80% water
- must be cooked so that the starch they contain can be digested
- rich in high-quality protein, potassium, B vitamins and vitamin C
- contain flavonoids and anthocyanins (valuable secondary plant compounds), which can protect against cardiovascular diseases and cancer
The only question is which is better, organic or conventional potatoes? Here the answer is clearly pro organic! why? Organic farmers have to do without synthetic mineral fertilizers and contain on average 30 percent less nitrate and many times less pesticide residues. But if you don’t care and have to watch your wallet, you can always reach for conventional varieties from the region.
But now enough with theory and back to the taste (I hope I didn’t bore you!).
