  • 1 large celery stalk sliced
  • 1 medium purple onion diced
  • 4 tbsp dill pickle relish or sweet if you prefer
  • 1/2 cup olives of your choice black, kalamata, etc., sliced in half (omit for a fat-free salad)

Salad Dressing

  • 1 15 oz can Navy beans (salt-free) drained and rinsed
  • 1/4 cup raw hemp seeds or raw sunflowers seeds
  • 2/3 cup almond milk or other plant-based milk
  • 2 tbsp nutritional yeast
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp curry powder

  • 1 tsp Bragg aminos
  • 1/4 tsp turmeric
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp cider vinegar
  • black pepper to taste
  • 4 sprigs fresh dill or dry dill weed

Instructions

  1. Wash, peel, and cut potatoes into cubes. Place them in a large sauce pan and cover with cold water. Bring the water to a slow boil for 10-15 minutes until they are cooked through. Drain and set aside.

  2. Place drained beans, hemp seeds, almond milk, nutritional yeast, and all dressing ingredients into a blender jar. Blend on high until smooth and creamy approximately 30 seconds.

  3. Place cooled potatoes in a large bowl. Add celery, sliced olives, onion, and pickles. Stir well.

  4. Pour the potato salad dressing over the mixture and toss gently until well combined.

  5. Taste and add additional salt and pepper if desired and garnish with additional dill.

    Cover the bowl and refrigerate until cold (1-2 hours). Or if you can't stand to wait, go ahead and eat it at room temperature! 🙂
