Lemon & Mint Potato Salad

Lemon & Mint Potato Salad

Serves 3-4

2 large or 3 smaller sweet potatoes (or just about 5 regular potatoes)

1/4 cup Dijon mustard

2/3 cup ripe avocado

1 minced garlic clove

1/3 cup diced celery (or cucumber, if you’ve run out of celery,I used both!)

1 small bunch fresh dill

2 Tbs. minced purple onion

2 Tbs. nutritional yeast

1 handful fresh mint, finely chopped

zest and juice of 1 lemon

2 tsp. olive oil

High quality sea salt, to taste

Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

Peel and cut potatoes into 1-inch cubes and place in a single layer in a steamer try. Steam for about 15-18 minutes, or until tender. Set to the side to cool.

In the meantime, add the Dijon mustard into a large mixing bowl, and mash the avocado into it. Stir in the minced garlic, celery, cucumber, purple onion, lemon juice, dill and nutritional yeast and olive oil in a bowl.

Toss the sweet potatoes into the mixing bowl with the sauce, and mix to coat well. Season with the salt, pepper and lemon zest to your liking.
