Ingredients

For the Salad:

  • 1 kilogram red potatoes
  • ¼ cup celery, finely chopped
  • ½ cup red pepper, finely chopped
  • ¼ cup red onion, finely chopped
  • ½ cup sweet green relish
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill, finely chopped

For the Dressing:

  • 1 cup cashews
  • ½ cup water
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon dill pickle juice
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • Sprinkle ground black pepper

Instructions

  • Start by soaking your cashews. Place them in a bowl and pour boiled water over them, covering them completely. Place a plate over the bowl and let the cashews soak for at least 20 minutes.
  • Chop your potatoes into your desired size and place them in a pot of water on the stove. Bring to a boil and cook for approximately 10 minutes. You want the potatoes to be soft, but firm enough that they will hold their shape after mixing with the dressing.
  • While the potatoes are boiling, chop all other salad ingredients and add them to a large bowl.
  • Next, prep the dressing. Drain the cashews after they are done soaking, then add all dressing ingredients to a food processor or high-powered blender, and blend until smooth.
  • When the potatoes are done cooking, drain the water. Rinse them with cold water to cool them down before adding them to the bowl with the other salad ingredients.
  • Pour the dressing onto the salad and mix together.
  • Chill in the fridge for about 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

Store in the fridge for up to a week.
