Potato Salad

  • 1 kilo potatoes
  • 1/2 red onion
  • 1 handful dill
  • 1 spring onion
  • 1 bell pepper
  • 1 chili pepper (optional)
  • 1 lemon juice

  • 6 tbsp pesto home made or store bought
  • 1/2 cup water

Instructions
 

Potato Salad

  • Start by cutting the potatoes in bite sized pieces and placing them in a big pot. Cover the potatoes with water and boil for about 15 minutes or until you can easily poke it with a fork. Remove the potatoes from the water and place them in a large bowl. To this add the red onion, dill, pesto dressing, spring onions and hot/bell pepper (optional) at the end lemon, salt and pepper to taste and chill the salad in the fridge, or eat right away. Enjoy!

Pesto Dressing

  • Add the chickpeas, pesto and water to a blender and blend until creamy. If you don't have any store bought pesto you could make a dressing using the chickpea base and adding a generous handful basil, a table spoon of nutritional yeast, a handful of pine nuts and salt to taste to the blender with the chickpeas to create your homemade pesto dressing.
