This last weekend was July 4th. Classic times for barbecues and cookouts. Think of coleslaw, potato salad, burgers, family, fireworks.
But what does a vegan do when faced with mayonnaise and eggs mixed with potatoes and pickles?
They make their own potato salad, minus the dairy items. I created this recipe just in time for pre-fireworks festivities. Depending on where you live, Veganaise is available at a Whole Foods or a local Co-op. You can probably find a version of it in your local grocer. Try it out on Labor day weekend. Challenge your meat-eating friends to find the difference between it and their usual salad.
Have fun and enjoy this tasty side salad, served up with veggie burgers and tofu hot dogs.
