Ingredients
Scale
- 3 pounds Yukon gold potatoes, cubed
- 2 cloves garlic, peeled
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 2 tablespoons cashew butter (or almond butter)
- 2 tablespoons tahini
- 1 tablespoon whole grain dijon mustard
- 2 teaspoons dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup
- 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- juice of 1/2 a lemon
- 1/4–1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/2 cup fresh basil, chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh dill, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh oregano, chopped (optional)
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
Instructions
- In a large pot, combine the cubed potatoes, garlic cloves, and salt, filling with water. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 10-15 minutes until fork-tender. Drain and return the potatoes to the pot, removing the garlic. Cover and let them steam in the residual heat for 20 minutes.
- For the dressing, finely chop the garlic and whisk it with the cashew butter, tahini, both mustards, honey, olive oil, vinegar, and lemon juice. Add warm water to adjust consistency and season with cayenne, salt, and pepper to taste.
- Pour the dressing over the warm potatoes and mix in the chopped basil, dill, oregano, and chives until well combined. Adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve warm, or refrigerate to enjoy cold or at room temperature later.
Notes
This salad can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
