Caesar Potato Salad

May 14, 2020 By lovecheflaura 2 Comments

This Caesar Potato Salad is mayo free and vegan! It has the tangy and creaminess of classic Caesar salad dressing with the addition of celery and red onion with a sprinkle of chives. This potato salad is the perfect side dish to serve over Memorial Weekend!

I came up with this recipe after making my Vegan Caesar Salad Dressing recipe and thought it would be a great mayo alternative. Mayo has more of a neutral flavor compared to a salad dressing, but I would love this dressing on a sandwich!

I know I'm going to be with the minority when I say this, but I'm not a huge fan of mayonnaise (gasp!). When it comes to potato salad, I want it to be creamy and tangy. Unfortunately to get that creamy texture, you need to add lots of mayo. What I love about this potato salad is that it is super creamy and tangy but without that egg flavor from mayo.

How to make Caesar Potato Salad:

The base of this potato salad is cashew butter with the addition of lemon juice, mustard, capers and apple cider vinegar.

First, red skin potatoes are boiled and cooled. Once cooled, they are mixed with chopped red onion, chopped celery and fresh chives. Lastly, a creamy Caesar dressing is made and tossed with the potatoes until everything is coated. Couldn't be easier!

Dairy-free Vanilla Ice Cream is made with coconut Dairy-free Vanilla Ice Cream is made with coconut milk, maple syrup, and vanilla for a simple and delicious dessert. This ice cream can be used as the base of a milkshake, a banana split, or enjoyed by itself.⁠
⁠
This ice cream can be used as the base for other ice creams such as chocolate, strawberry, chocolate brownie, cookie dough, the flavor options are endless!⁠

I went dairy-free almost 7 years ago. Nut milk suc I went dairy-free almost 7 years ago. Nut milk such as almond and coconut quickly became my go-to for coffee creamer, smoothie bases, etc... What I didn't really think about when it came to nut milk was what was in them.⁠
⁠
It's nearly impossible nowadays to find a nut or seed-based dairy-free milk without added preservatives, sugar, and stabilizers. Stabilizers such as guar gum, gum arabic, and carrageenan wreck havoc on your gut. If you don't have time to make your own, I highly recommend @malk The only ingredient in their products is the nut they are making milk out of. And those nuts are organic! Added bonus! So if you don't want to use my 2- 2-minute nut milk hack, try and buy your nut milk as cleans s possible.⁠
⁠
Grab the recipe for this 2-Minute Almond Milk through the link in my profile! And yes, this hack works for all kinds of nuts and seeds 🙃⁠
⁠
⁠One skillet Za'atar Chicken with Grain-free Orz ⁠One skillet Za'atar Chicken with Grain-free Orzo and Herbed Tahini is the most amazing weeknight dinner! This dish is full of za'atar spice, lemon, and garlic and drizzled with zesty herbed tahini dressing. It is gluten-free, grain-free, dairy-free, and ready in under an hour 😍! ⁠
⁠
If you're in the Traverse City area, @oryanatc has the grain-free orzo you will need for this recipe along with the penne and spaghetti! 🙌🏼⁠

I have really been loving my smoothies lately. Smoothies are a great way to get a bunch of greens into your diet. Just add a few handfuls of spinach or another green and blend away 🌿!⁠
⁠⁠
This Mint Smoothie is a McDonald's Shamrock Shake copycat, but a whole lot healthier. It is so minty and refreshing! Top it off with some raw cacao nibs for a mint chip kind of vibe 🤩! ⁠

✨ COOKIES & CREAM MILKSHAKE ✨⁠ ⁠ I know I' ✨ COOKIES & CREAM MILKSHAKE ✨⁠
⁠
I know I'm posting this well before lunch, but I wanted to give you lots of time to go to the grocery store for tonight's dessert 😂⁠
⁠
I am all about indulging in dessert once in a while. I mean, I used to be a pastry chef. I love my sweet treats! But if you do, make it a little bit more tasty and a lot more healthy. ⁠
⁠
Cookies and Cream Milkshake has decadent cookies blended with either homemade vegan vanilla ice cream (or your favorite store-bought ice cream for an even easier recipe!). This milkshake is similar to an Oreo milkshake, but it's vegan, dairy-free, and doesn't contain all the questionable ingredients that are in an Oreo cookie 😍⁠

⁠
Freshly baked bagels are one of my favorite things Freshly baked bagels are one of my favorite things in the world 🤩! Bagels are not easy to make. They require making the dough, rising the dough, shaping the dough, boiling the dough, topping the dough with your favorite toppings, and then finally baking the dough. This is a common reason bagels are not made at home.⁠
⁠
Thankfully, this recipe has only 6 ingredients and doesn't require rising or boiling! I mean, we all need some easy AND delicious recipes in our lives! And before you ask, yes, these bagels are also nut-free!⁠
⁠
When we start to dive into paleo baking, one of the most common baking flours is almond flour. Unfortunately, a lot of people avoid nuts for allergies or other reasons. This recipe uses two paleo-compliant flours, tapioca starch, and coconut flour which are both nut-free 🙌🏼! Thank the breakfast Gods! ⁠

All this sunny and warm weather in Northern Michig All this sunny and warm weather in Northern Michigan has got me excited for summer ☀️!! I may have to bust out the grill and make some Grilled Mango Lime Chicken because you know, 40 degrees and sunny feels like 80 degrees and sunny in February 🤣 ⁠Anyone else ready for summer?⁠

Traditional almond milk and other nut milk are mad Traditional almond milk and other nut milk are made by blending roasted or soaked nuts in water and then straining the liquid. This 2-Minute Almond Milk uses ground almond butter (my favorite is from @sunandswellfoods) blended with water for quick and easy homemade nut milk that has no added oils, preservatives, or stabilizers. Yay for a happy tummy 🤗!⁠
⁠
This recipe is incredibly easy! Blend all the ingredients on medium for about two minutes. The almond milk will go from a tan color to beige and almost white when it's ready. Once blended, pour into a large glass container such as a pitcher with a lid and store it in the fridge for up to three days 🙌🏼!⁠
⁠
If you're not an almond fan, don't worry! The options for making fresh homemade nut milk from nut butter are endless. Try the recipe with cashew butter, hazelnut butter, or even sunflower butter for a nut-free option ✨⁠

I’m just going to say it and get it out of the w I’m just going to say it and get it out of the way: LUMPY BONE BROTH IS NORMAL! I just needed to say it before we continue 😂⁠
⁠
As I said, thick and lumpy broth is normal! It means you made a gut-healing and highly nutritious liquid that you can now use in all sorts of dishes. Lumpy and thick means lots of collagen and protein!⁠ ⁠
⁠
Making your own chicken bone broth at home is not only incredibly easy, but it’s also less expensive and healthier. Why would I want to buy store-bought chicken broth, chicken stock, or chicken bone broth? Depending on the brand, there can be added cane sugar and natural chicken flavor. What? Isn’t what I am buying already chicken-flavored? Why do I need more flavor? Also, high-quality bone broth is expensive! Like 12 bucks for 2-3 cups expensive! Making your own bone broth at home is easy, delicious, and inexpensive. ⁠
