Red, White & Blue Vegan Potato Salad

Day 546 of quarantine. Kidding! (But it certainly feels that way.)

The beaches and restaurants are closed for the long weekend, and we still have safer-at-home orders in place here in LA. Maybe you’re in a similar situation, or just hanging out BBQ’ing for the weekend.

The plus side? We’ve saved A TON of money by cooking at home for every meal! It’s healthier too! 🙂 Growing your own food, picking up from local farms, farm stands and farmers’ markets are also a great way to eat super fresh and tasty produce that’s in season and healthier for you!

Side note: I LOVE using fresh herbs when cooking! The difference is definitely noticeable. I much prefer fresh dill in this recipe (and in my chickpea tuna) as opposed to dried dill. But if dried is all you have, use about 1 tsp dried in this recipe.

I’m usually inspired to put together a fun, festive, colorful July 4th meal. This year, the way our government & leaders have been handling both the pandemic and protests makes me a little less patriotic and inspired. But we got some great, red, white & blue small potatoes from a local organic farm in Malibu. So in honor of the 4th of July… here is my RED, WHITE & BLUE POTATO SALAD!

Hope you Enjoy!

Stay safe & have fun. And wear your mask!
