Vegan Lettuce Potato Salad with Cashew Dressing
Finely chopped lettuce and fresh herbs tossed in a creamy cashew dressing and tender cooked potatoes. The cashew dressing includes a mix of both cashew butter, tahini, dijon mustard, golden syrup, olive oil and apple cider vinegar for the perfect blend of flavour. And since there is no mayonnaise, this salad will sit out well at summer picnics and BBQs.
Substitutes:
- No baby gem? Substitute for any kind of lettuce such as living lettuce, rocket and mixed leaves.
- No coriander? Try with parsley, dill, chives or basil instead.
- No cashew butter? Use almond butter instead.
- No golden syrup? Use maple syrup instead.
