Spring Picnic (Vegan!) Potato Salad

by | Updated: December 3rd, 2016 | Read time: 1 minute

Whether you’re headed to a potluck or planning a small get-together lunch, potato salad is an old stand-by that appeals to all ages. If guests are vegan, however, traditional ingredients—mayo, eggs, sour cream and sometimes bacon—make this dish off-limits. The solution? Veganize it! This version calls for dairy- and egg-free mayonnaise, creamy avocado, tangy apple cider vinegar and a splash of lemon juice for a plant-based party salad everyone can enjoy.
