Meatless Monday – Secret Weapon Potato Salad

November 13, 2011 by Stacey 22 Comments

 Pin It

I’m not kidding when I say this is possibly the weirdest, but the easiest potato salad of all time.

I’ve made really rather elaborate potato salads before, with the dressing made from fifteen different ingredients I had to measure and mix myself. And they ARE good… but so is this one!

And the secret weapon? Coleslaw dressing. Yep, I’m mixing my metaphors, confusing my side dishes and generally breaking the laws of nature. But it’s all for a good cause – a fast, easy and delicious potato salad that will make people think you spent hours slaving over it. Excellent.

I won’t give measurements, it’s all to taste, and easily made to however many servings you want.

Ingredients:
red/Desiree potatoes
green onion, sliced
chopped parsley
hot english mustard
coleslaw dressing

Directions:

1. Dice potatoes and cook in boiling salted water until just tender – you don’t want them breaking up too much.

2. Add coleslaw dressing, mustard, parsley and green onions and mix. You can add eggs too, I just didn’t bother this day. But it’s a great addition! Serve chilled or at room temperature.

♥ Grab the Meatless Monday button and put it in your post, and even on your sidebar if you’re feeling generous.
♥ Visit at least one other blogger and leave some love. This is so much more cool if we’re in it together!

    Just wondering how many ingredients are in the coleslaw dressing?

    I see what you mean – sorry, I should have been more clear. I meant fifteen individual components of a dressing I had to mix myself, as opposed to pouring directly from a bottle. Does that answer your question?

    Mmmmm. Potato salad. Mmmmmmm.

    The beauty of store bought coleslaw dressing is that the number of ingredients and their composition is somebody else's problem. Probably best not to overthnk it!

    I don't claim to be a health nut – I just don't eat meat! Everything else is fair game.

    haha, nup! But it did make me think… perhaps I should put a disclaimer that I'm not an authority on anything but taste 😉

    I was just thinking potato salad the other day. Must be summer? I always over cook my potato so have started steaming it,  which seems to help a bit. Must say I never considered the slaw tactic, but will give it a go!

    Try this easy and delicious potato salad, no need for 15 ingredients! Just prepare your potatoes as per usual, meanwhile, put 1/4 cup EVOO, 2 Tbsp vinegar (I use apple cider vinegar), 2 tsp dijon, 1 tsp caster sugar and s&p in jar and shake to combine. Dress the warm potatoes in half of this. Then add 1 Tbsp natural yoghurt and 1 Tbsp mayo to the jar, shake again and dress potatoes once more. So it's basically dressing your potatoes with vinaigrette and then adding some creaminess. I also add capers/parsley/spring onions.

    Errm, make that either 1/3 or 1/2 cup EVOO – can't do the math right now, but the usual ratio for vinaigrette is 3 parts oil to 1 part vinegar I believe… 🙂

    Yes, and I always add a little extra vinegar… I like it like that!

    Oh, and let the potatoes infuse the vinaigrette for say 15 mins, so the FLAVOUR soaks in! 😉
