German Potato Beet Salad (Vegan, Gluten-Free)

A German-style potato salad is simple, tangy and served warm. I added a pop of brightness with the addition of another root vegetable—beets. This easy, wholesome German Potato Beet Salad is the perfect complement to a savory bean soup, toasted nut butter sandwich half, or veggie sausage.

Instructions

1. Place potatoes in a pot of water, cover, and cook for about 30 minutes, just until tender enough to pierce with a fork but not crumbly.
2. Place beets in a small pot of water and cook for about 20 minutes, until tender enough to pierce with a fork but still firm.
3. While potatoes and beets are cooking, heat olive oil in a sauté pan. Add onions and sauté for about 7 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in vinegar, mustard, honey or sugar, salt, black pepper, thyme and chives until smooth.
4. When potatoes and beets are done cooking, drain water and cool slightly in order to handle them. Slice and transfer into a large bowl. Pour onion-dressing mixture over potatoes-beet mixture and toss until well distributed. Taste and adjust seasonings of salt and pepper as desired.
5. Serve while warm. (Also delicious served chilled)
