Vegan Potato Salad Mayonnaise Free

This vegan potato salad mayonnaise free is low in calorie and healthy.

I sometimes make vegan mayonnaise and it is very delicious. But when I see the amount of the oil required for making the mayonnaise I feel somehow uncomfortable. It is a lot of oil..

I tried to find ways to make vegan mayonnaise that doesn’t need too much oil in the past. One with less oil which didn’t give a firm consistency like mayonnaise. And another one with tofu without oil but the taste of the tofu was over powering when I added to potato salad. Then I tried mixture of soy yogurt, tahini, a bit of garlic puree and lemon juice it was really yummy! It doesn’t taste like mayonnaise but when I made the potato salad with this for the first time it looked and tasted very similar to the potato salad that I make with the vegan mayonnaise. I was super happy with the result as I successfully made the salad with no oil. If you are looking for a recipe for non-oil mayo, you should give it a go ☺

Ingredients
  

  • 400 g Potatoes any kinds
  • 120 g Sweet potatoes you can skip this if you want to use potatoes only
  • 250 g frozen broccoli
  • 4 tbsp frozen sweetcorn
  • 1/2 big apple

Soy yogurt dressing

  • 3 tbsp soy yogurt sugar free
  • 1 tbsp tahini well stirred
  • 1/2 tsp garlic puree I used a tube of garlic puree
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 1/8 tsp salt

Instructions
 

  • Boil the potatoes and sweet potatoes until soft. Cook the frozen broccoli and the frozen sweetcorn. I usually cook them in the microwave by following the instructions at the back of the packages. Cut the apple into small pieces.
  • While the vegetables are cooking, prepare the dressing by mixing the soy yogurt, tahini, *garlic puree, *lemon juice and the salt in a small bowl. Mix well until smooth and creamy. Keep it in the fridge until all of the cooked vegetables cool down.
  • *In a big salad bowl, mix the vegetables and the dressing together. keep it in the fridge for about 15 minutes to make it cooler and more solid.

Notes

*If you use grated fresh garlic for the dressing, try not to put too much of it otherwise the flavour will be too strong. You can omit the garlic if you don't like the flavour.
*If your yogurt is loose, avoid adding too much lemon juice into the dressing mixture.
*Make sure the vegetables are cool to at least room temperature before mix with the dressing.
