Cauliflower Sweet Potato Salad Specifics
This cauliflower sweet potato salad will forever replace your simple old potato salad – trust me! And it is full of delicious veggies and can easily be made vegan too! Here’s the deets:
- Veggies: The base of the cauliflower sweet potato salad is a mix of steamed cauliflower and sweet potatoes. I typically prepare these in the microwave, but you could steam over the stove as well. We also added in some celery and onion to add some delicious crunch.
- Sauce: Typically potato salad is made with mayonnaise, but we leveled this up by using avocado mayo. That being said, you can easily use a vegan mayo too to make it free of any eggs.
- Spices: Now spices play an important roll in this dish. You’ll need a combination of dill, celery seed, paprika and garlic powder. There are a few other special ingredients that play into the delicious flavor too, check them out below!
