This potato salad, perfect for picnics and barbecues, is delicious, but without the fat from mayo. The bulk of the sauce comes from plant based yogurt and chickpeas. I used yellow potatoes here, but red would also work. I don't bother peeling the potatoes, but you can if you like. For the sauce I used miso paste to add saltiness, but you could just use salt. I also used black salt (which is actually pink), which adds an egg flavor, but it's totally optional. Add any veggies you want. I just added green/spring onion, but you could also add other traditional potato salad veggies like celery and pickles or make it your own with veggies like grated carrots or diced red bell pepper. I garnished this potato salad with chopped chives and powdered paprika. This recipe would serve about 4 people.

Reduce heat to a simmer for about 20 mins or until the potatoes are cooked to your liking.
