Get ready to fall in love with a fresh take on a summer classic from The Plantpower Way in collaboration with Blue Zones*. Fresh herbs, briny olives and protein-packed pumpkin seeds take this summer staple to the next level. It’s vibrant, nourishing and practically begging to be enjoyed outside. Grab a fork — it’s time to dig in!
Ingredients
- Five pounds red potatoes
- 1 cup vegan mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup pitted Kalamata olives
- 2 teaspoons large grain Celtic sea salt
- 1/4 cup fresh chopped dill
- Fresh dill sprigs
- 1/4 cup pepitas
Preparation
- Wash the potatoes well, scrubbing the skins to remove any soil.
- In a large pot of water, boil the potatoes on high heat until soft but not mushy. Potatoes are done when a fork slides easily into the center of the potato without breaking it apart.
- Pour the potatoes into a colander and drain. If you wish to remove the skins, run a small stream of cold water over the potatoes and easily rub the skin off using your thumbs and fingers.
- In a large serving bowl, whisk together the vegan mayonnaise, Dijon and olive oil.
- Add the warm potatoes. Using a knife, cut the potatoes crosswise and lengthwise into roughly ½ inch pieces. Do this quickly; don’t sweat precision. Keep cutting in all directions until all the potato slices are approximately ½ inch in size.
- Using a large spoon, start turning the potatoes into the dressing at the bottom of the bowl. Continue until the mixture is well incorporated.
- Add the 2 teaspoons of Celtic salt and mix again.
- Now add the olives and the fresh dill. Turn over again until well combined.
- Adjust salt to taste.
- Garnish with fresh dill sprigs and serve.
