Potato Salad with a twist - Vegan Potato Salad



When you think Potato Salad, you think of the creamy, calorie rich version. Don't get me wrong. I loooooveee that version. But then, when it comes to a dish with potato, whatever you do will be a success. So why make a creamy, calorie rich salad when you can make the best ever one without all the fat?



Recipe Adapted from here
