Herbed Lemon Tahini Potato Salad
'Tis the season of potato salad! Seriously,
I've made more cole slaw and potato salads this month than I think I
ever have...which is fine with me! We've had a lot of BBQ's, backyard
parties, and things to celebrate this summer so we've been loving
experimenting with different ingredients, and until last week, I had
never thought to toss tahini in my the mix. I know - WHAT?! I LOVE
pouring tahini on all things potato normally, and literally make a snack
out of baked potatoes with tahini, lemon and dill on the regular. So
how had I never poured any in my potato salad and served it up? Well, it
was love at first taste. The addition of crunchy veggies and a little
vegan mayo for creaminess makes it next-level good. I've been eating the
leftovers all week! You AND your dinner guests will love it, too, I
promise. So what're we waiting for?! Let's eat!
INGREDIENTS
2 lbs. red potatoes, chopped
1/2 red onion, chopped
3 ribs of celery, thinly sliced
4 green onions, thinly sliced
1 cup vegan mayo
1 cup tahini
2-4 tablespoons of lemon juice
3 tablespoons freshly chopped dill
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
DIRECTIONS
?Place the potatoes in a large pot of water
over medium heat and bring to a boil. Cook for 10-15 minutes, or until
the potatoes are fork tender. Drain and set aside to cool.
While the potatoes are cooling, chop up the onions and celery and them set aside.
Whisk together the mayo, tahini, lemon
juice, dill, salt and pepper in a large mixing bowl. Toss in the
potatoes, chopped red + green onions and celery, and toss to combine.
Serve + enjoy immediately or keep it in the fridge up to a week!
NOTES
Serve 6-8.
Leftovers may need to be tossed as the lemon juice and tahini will separate slightly overtime.
