Vegan Potato Salad With Turmeric And Green Peas

You might have already tried this yummy and classic vegan potato salad dressed with vegan mayo and dill. But if you’re looking for a recipe that’s off the beaten path, here’s my Indian style potato salad with turmeric and green peas. This salad is lean and healthy, and it has a dash of delicious spice from turmeric, mustard seeds, and ginger. The flavor will appeal to you especially if you love that great Indian snack, the samosa. This is a great side dish to serve alongside nearly any entree, but especially with grilled foods. The lemon and scallions add a pop of freshness that goes beautifully with anything charred.

Why you’ll love this vegan potato salad

Delicious. The turmeric-potato-green-peas-scallions combination is to die for. And the creamy coconut milk tying it together…yum! Fresh and vibrant and so summery. Healthy. There’s no mayo here, vegan or otherwise, and everything in here is actually good for you. Easy to put together. Anyone can do it.

Variations

I really like the samosa-like flavors of the potato salad and green peas in this salad, but you can definitely add another veggie into the mix. Grated carrot, for instance, would be nice. I wouldn’t add a watery veggie like zucchini because it would really change the consistency of the salad and make it soggy. I don’t add garlic to this recipe because I want the freshness of the ginger to shine through, but if you’re addicted to garlic, a couple of cloves, minced and sauteed with the ginger, will be nice. Instead of spring onions, you can use chives, or garlic chives, or cilantro. All would be delicious in here. Use more coconut milk if you want your salad dressing creamier. You can use lime or lemons interchangeably in this recipe, it doesn’t really matter. The lemons sold in India, at least back when I lived there, were, in fact, more lime-like, in flavor and looks, and we really didn’t distinguish between the two.
