How to make the best vegan lentil and potato salad
First things first, the potatoes need to be cooked. If you’re asking yourself how to cook potatoes for potato salad, rest assured that it’s not any different than cooking potatoes for anything else. You can either toss them in the microwave or boil them in salted water. Either way, make sure they’re well cooked. While the potatoes are being cooked, chop the onions, bell peppers and fresh parsley. This part upgrades the salad from a generic one, to a turkish salad recipe (and it’s really too tasty to be generic). You can mix in the cooked or canned lentils at this point too! Then you whip up a creamy mustard based sauce that includes vinegar, olive oil, mustard, maple syrup, salt and pepper. Fun fact! Did you know that mustard is often in salad dressings because oil and vinegar won’t mix without it? Pour the dressing over the ingredients you put together above. Now, there’s only one thing left. By this point, you should really know what’s coming since the word is literally in the title. It’s time to add the potatoes to our vegan lentil and potato salad. And that’s it! This vegan lentil and potato salad really is fabulously easy. Whether you came looking for a hearty and warm lentil salad, a turkish salad or high protein vegan salad, this recipe is what you’re looking for (and if you were looking for high protein vegan salad we have more of those over here!).
