I love colorful potatoes!

Vegan Potato salad is so easy to make.  In just under 45 minutes, you will have this perfect dish.

It is no secret that I am attracted to bright colors.

When I saw some colorful potatoes in the grocery aisle, I was like a moth to flame.  A vegan potato salad recipe immediately leaped in my mind.  A potato salad is not a potato salad until it has some color in it.

For this recipe, I went with Pesto instead of using the traditional mayo.  You can use your favorite basil pesto recipe or try my vegan arugula pesto recipe.

The pesto makes this salad very flavorful and it works so well with the sauteed greens.  It does have arugula in it just like the pesto.  However, all the arugula works really well together with the potatoes and other greens.

I have to stop for and admire the potatoes.  Just look at how colorful these tiny potatoes are!!!

This potato salad recipe will delight vegetarians and vegans alike.  Even the meat lovers will fight over the last potato

If you are looking for comfort food, then this is perfect for that occasion.  It is such a quick and easy recipe that anyone can make it.
