Hope everyone in the states had a nice holiday weekend! I took a break from posting, but not from cooking this weekend. In fact, I made the first out of four recipes that I am committed to cooking this month as part my new Cookbook Club.
This month’s book is Vegan Brunch
The verdict? Hubby and I both liked this dairy-free potato salad. I especially liked the kick that the cayenne pepper gave it. Yet, there’s a modification I plan to make in the future. “You know what would be really good in that potato salad? Cucumbers,” hubby suggested. I had to inform him that there were cucumbers in there but they were diced very fine. “Big chunks next time,” he said.
With everything diced small, including the potatoes, the leftovers made a great veggie sandwich spread. Was a great lunch on its own when I was too lazy to cook in the summer heat!!
And now to announce the inaugural Cookbook Club winner! The random number generator over at random.org picked post #1, which means Mary L. I need your e-mail address so that I may send you a copy of Vegan Brunch
I’ve got three more recipes to make from Vegan Brunch by July 31, and there will be another giveaway when I chose August’s book!
Really delicious the combination for this Creamy Avocado Potato Salad, especially for a touch of spicy cayenne pepper! And congratulations to the lucky Mary!
I finally got around to trying this recipe Sunday night. I cut the dressing in half (not on purpose…one of my avocados was weird colored inside), but it was still creamy. I left the cucumber in bigger chunks per your suggestion, and left out the cayenne since I’m the only one in the family that actually enjoys a little spice.
I used black pepper to boost it a little, and changed the red onion for sweet white onion because that was all I had on hand…also left out the tomato because I’m not the biggest fan.
Overall, I liked it for a change and will make it again…much better the 2nd day, though the color isn’t as attractive.
I’m glad you both agree that this is a great change of pace as far as side salads go! Alexis, my hubby can often do without tomatoes, so it’s nice to know it still turned out great sans tomatoes.
