Vegan Low Fat Potato Salad

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

Vegan Low Fat Potato Salad

I made a potato salad video recipe a while back, but I love that recipe so much I thought it deserved a spot on the blog too. And I’m not the only fan of this unusually dressed potato salad, I’ve gotten lots of great feedback from others who have tried it too.

Since Christmas is fast-approaching, I decked out my cauli-cream potato salad in red and green. New potatoes + lacinato kale + cauli-cream = Vegan Low Fat Red and Greens Potato Salad!

I know, I know potato salad is supposed to be reserved for summer picnics and potlucks, however, in my house we have a slightly different tradition. When I was growing up, Christmas Day dinner was a toss up, but Christmas Eve dinner was always gumbo and potato salad. This cajun-inspired tradition came from my mom’s side of the family. We’ve dropped the gumbo part, since it was far from vegan, but this potato salad is a perfect Christmas side dish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6–8 red potatoes
  • 1 small head cauliflower
  • 5–6 stalks of lacinato kale
  • Juice of half a lemon (about 2 tsps)
  • 2 tbsps chopped scallion
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Steam the cauliflower and puree it to make cauliflower cream. Add the lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Blend again to combine
  2. Cut the potatoes into large chunks. Boil the potatoes until tender.
  3. Thinly slice (or chiffonade if you want to be fancy) the kale.
  4. A couple of minutes before the potatoes are done, place the kale in a steamer basket on top of the potatoes. Steam until it is bright green and slightly softened.
  5. Toss the potatoes, kale, and scallion with the cauli-cream.
  6. I prefer it chilled, but it’s good warm too.

    This was great! I absolutely loved it! I added a bit more lemon juice, because I like my meals to be more sour. I’ve also recently tried your pumpkin maple muffin recipe and it was delicious. I hope you make more good recipes!

    Cauli cream? Yes, please! And I LOVE that you did Gumbo and Potato Salad for your Christmas Eve tradition. How fun! I LOVE LOVE LOVE Gumbo. I have been meaning to veganize it, but there are just so many parts that need to be changed. One of these days. Anyway, this potato salad looks great and who doesn’t loved potatoes for the holidays?! Perfect!

      Oh I know, vegan gumbo is a big undertaking, I haven’t even tried. My mom always made the non-vegan one, so I really wouldn’t even know where to start. I’ll leave that one to you haha!

    I didn’t even realize this salad had all the festive colors before you mentioned it. I take it as final proof that exam time leads to brain damage 😀 I hope it’s temporary. Anyway, I totally LOVE the cauliflower dressing!!! Crazy dressing ingredients all the way! Bonus points if they make the whole deal healthier 🙂

    I knew there was cauliflower in there! 😀 Looks delicious <3 Cauliflower is the bestest for stuff like that. Strange, I always think of potatoes as a winter veggie.. Although I'm not much of a picnicer, so that might explain it 🙂

    I'm curious though — why is it low fat as opposed to fat=free? I'm not seeing any oil… ?

      I’m pretty predictable when it comes to hidden veggies haha! I think they are technically winter veggie, not really sure though what with importation they don’t really have a season any more. And it’s low fat instead of fat free because google keyword planner told me that was a better name 🙂 lol

        Ah, lol, makes sense then 🙂 You had me think of all kinds of things last night with that one — where could that tiny bit of fat be hiding?! 😀

Some recipes are worth splurging on dairy-free whi Some recipes are worth splurging on dairy-free white chocolate and this is DEFINITELY one of them🤎🤍 That decadent chocolate + peanut butter + coconut middle 1000% deserves the creamy coating and sprinkle finish, trust me💗 Recipe below…

Vegan White Chocolate Valentine’s Truffles

-Pinch of salt

Set aside the remaining white chocolate. Melt the dark chocolate chips. In a food processor combine the Dark Cacao Coconut Cookies, almond/peanut butter, melted chocolate, salt, and vanilla. Process until smooth, it should be the consistency of a thick brownie batter. Place about 2 tsps of the chocolate mixture into each heart and press to flatten.

Its #nationalmedjooldateday 🥳🥳 I have wayyyy Its #nationalmedjooldateday 🥳🥳 I have wayyyyyy too many medjool recipes on the blog to mention, so I picked this friday-easy, highly-fudgy, personal fave: No-Bake Vegan Chocolate Cream Pie!

Four ingredient chocolate crumb crust. Three ingredient date-sweetened cream filling. Its truly TOO simple and TOO good❤️

Crust
-2 cups almonds (or nuts of choice)
-1/2 cup cocoa powder
-1/2 tsp salt
-1/4 cup coconut oil
Filling
-12oz unsweetened chocolate, melted
-3 cups non-dairy milk 
-1 cup (10-12) pitted medjool dates (@ndmedjooldates are my favorite!)

Blend almonds, cocoa powder, and salt. Add the coconut oil. Blend until the texture is moist and crumbly. Press into the bottom of a pie pan and up the sides.

Blend the milk and dates on high until very smooth. Add melted chocolate and blend until combined. Pour into the crust and smooth the top. Refrigerate (creamier more like a pudding/mud pie) or freeze (firmer texture) overnight, or for at least 8 hours. Slice and enjoy!

Is it even christmas time without a gingerbread cu Is it even christmas time without a gingerbread cutout cookie + sprinkles moment??🎄

This is my fave vegan and paleo recipe—super moist and tender with almond flour, heavy on the molasses, with a pop of lemon, and they’re oil-free!

Ingredients
-1/2 cup coconut sugar
-1/4 cup almond butter (or any nut/seed butter)
-1/4 cup molasses
-1 tbsp lemon juice
-2 tsps ginger
-1 tsp cinnamon
-1/4 tsp cloves
-1/2 tsp baking soda
-1 tsp vanilla extract
-2 cups almond flour (oat flour option linked in my bio!)

Whisk coconut sugar, almond butter, molasses, and lemon juice until combined. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix/knead to form a ball of dough. Roll out the dough to 1/4 inch thickness between two pieces of wax paper. Chill dough flat for 30 minutes. Cutout cookies with a cookie cutter, then use a spatula to carefully transfer to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 10 minutes at 350F or until golden around the edges. You can re-roll/cut the excess dough. Cool completely. Decorate (I used melted coconut butter + matcha for the “glaze”) and enjoy!
