Ingredients
Scale
Potato Salad:
- 3 pounds (about 12 medium) thin-skinned potatoes, such as Yukon Gold or red potatoes, unpeeled
- 1/4 small head (4 ounces) red cabbage, divided into 4 pieces
- 1/2 medium onion (red, white, or yellow), cut into 2 pieces
- 1 medium bell pepper (red, yellow, orange, or green), cored and quartered
- 2 medium (6 ounces total) carrots (yellow, orange, purple), trimmed
- 4 medium radishes (pink, red, watermelon), trimmed
- 1 ½ tablespoons capers, rinsed, drained
- ¼ cup finely chopped fresh green herbs (i.e., dill, oregano, thyme, parsley, basil)
Creamy Lemon Dressing:
- 3/4 cup reduced fat vegan mayonnaise (i.e., Veganaise, Just Mayo, Follow Your Heart, or make it yourself here)
- 1 tablespoon prepared yellow or Dijon mustard
- 1 large lemon, zested and juiced
- ½ teaspoon agave syrup (optional)
- ½ teaspoon celery salt
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon white pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (optional)
Instructions
- Place potatoes in a pot, cover with water, cover with a lid, bring to a boil, and cook over medium heat until barely tender, yet still firm (about 30 minutes; do not overcook). Rinse in cold water, drain water, and allow to cool.
- Meanwhile, place a large slicer attachment on a food processor and coarsely slice the cabbage, onions, and bell pepper. Transfer the sliced vegetables to a large mixing bowl. (Alternatively, thinly slice the cabbage, onions, and bell peppers by hand.)
- Place the coarse shredder attachment on the food processor and coarsely shred the carrots and radishes. Transfer the shredded vegetables to the mixing bowl. (Alternatively, coarsely shred the carrots and radishes using a box grater.)
- When potatoes are cool, slice them into small (about 1-inch) cubes (with peels, unless they are tough; may peel if desired), and add to the mixing bowl.
- Add the capers and green herbs to the mixing bowl and gently toss.
- To make Creamy Lemon Dressing: In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise, mustard, lemon zest and juice, agave syrup (optional), celery salt, garlic powder, white pepper, and salt (optional).
- Gently fold the dressing into the potato salad mixture just until well combined. Do not over mix to avoid mashing the potatoes.
- Chill until serving time. Makes 12 servings (about 3/4 cup each). Lasts for up to five days in the refrigerator stored in an airtight container.
