Chipotle-Lime Potato Salad

June 13, 2014 by theleafycauldron

Ah, potato salad could be so much fun if only we’d get away from thinking the addition of mayonnaise to anything makes a salad. This is delightfully fresh and fun potato salad, much lighter than what we imagine potato salad to be. Bursting with bright flavours and colours this is everything you could want for your next picnic, potluck or barbecue.

Potato Salad
Serves 6

2 pounds petite potatoes, multi-coloured are perfect, scrubbed and cut in half
2 sweet bell peppers, diced
3/4 cup ripe pineapple, diced
1 medium red onion, peeled diced
Large handful cilantro, roughly chopped
4 green onions, sliced fine

Bring potatoes to boil in salted water. Cook until tender. Drain water and rinse in cold water. Set aside in freezer or fridge in cold water to cool. Chop other vegetables and pineapple and set aside.

Chipotle-Lime Dressing

1/4 cup vegan mayo
1 chipotle pepper, rehydrated
1/3 cup olive oil
Juice of two limes (about 1/4 cup)
1/2 teaspoon lime zest
2 tablespoons agave nectar (sub granulated sugar)
1 large garlic clove, minced
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Blend together the vegan mayo and chipotle peppers. Add the remaining ingredients, whisk together vigourously until smooth. Taste for seasoning and adjust to taste.

Assembly

Once the potatoes have cooled, toss in a large bowl with the vegetables and dressing. Toss to combine. Taste for seasoning and adjust to taste. Let the flavours mingle for as long as you can, preferably overnight. Serve chilled.

About

We here at The Leafy Cauldron believe food should be life affirming. We can do better! Started in 2011 as passion project to share a love of Harry Potter and vegan food, we've now branched out to focus on fun, fresh and innovative recipes that also happen to be allergy-friendly with zero compromise when it comes to taste and texture.

Dissatisfied with some common attitudes in vegan cooking, we decided to start a log of our own kitchen adventures. You’ll find fun and fresh recipes here presented in a to-the-point fashion. I promise to never, ever use the words “real food”.

If you're dealing with allergies and you're hoping to find a familiar recipe, let us know on Facebook and we'll try to help you out!
