Guest guest Posted July 12, 2008 Report Share Posted July 12, 2008 Hi gypsy, Less is more when you make potato salad. You want it to taste like the yummy potatoes so this is what I do. I don't add olives, pickles, relish, Miracle Whip or any of those things. The only time I will add eggs is if my nephew from out of state is here visiting. He could live on eggs and he will complain if he doesn't see them LOL I use red potatoes, peel and cut in 6ths. I steam them, if you steam them they don't get water logged and mushy like boiling in water will often do. The microwave makes them dry. Let them cool, while they are steaming the potatoes, chop up celery, onions, add a few green onions with tops also. I don't add egg since I don't care for eggs. Add the chopped veggies to the potatoes and toss with Veganaise, salt, pepper, little bit of Mrs Dash, some ground mustard powder and a little turmeric (this will add a bit of yellow color). That's all I do. Chill and enjoy. I have to make a huge container of this tomorrow morning, going to a wedding shower and this was the request.

I have not made it since going veg. I will definitely make a small batch! I bet it is heavenly. Real mayo does not have much of a taste to me and is very bland. The Veganaise has such a wonderful kick to it!! One question, did you replace your eggs with Tofu? I am vegan, but my girls are allowed to eat cheese. So, I was wondering if tofu would fit the bill or am I able to just omit an egg substitute and still have a wonderful potato salad? Thanks, -Gypsy Re: Veganaise Posted by: " thelilacflower@ " thelilacflower@ thelilacflower Fri Jul 11, 2008 8:48 pm (PDT) I make potato salad with it and all I hear is, this is the best potato salad I have ever eaten, what in the world is in it. Just plain simple ingredients tossed with Veganaise. I have many people hooked on it. Donna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 Thank you so much Donna! You have saved my behind. We are having a cookout over to my mothers on Saturday. This is the first one since my going veg. I was trying to figure out what to make that everyone would enjoy. This would be awesome and knowing my family, they would actually eat your Potato Salad up! So, I will be following it to the letter. I will let you know how it goes. -Gypsy Gypsy Re: Veganaise potato salad Posted by: " Donnalilacflower " thelilacflower thelilacflower Sat Jul 12, 2008 4:25 pm (PDT) Hi gypsy, Less is more when you make potato salad.
