]]> Most people try to add more salads to their menu when trying to eat healthily, but not all salads are created equal. Potato salads aren’t exactly synonymous with healthy eating due to their high carb content, but there are a few tricks you can use to make them more nutritious.

Choosing the Right Potatoes

Potatoes are the reason why this salad is so carb-rich, but that doesn’t mean you have to ditch them to make it healthier. Try using them in moderation instead, or consider making a salad with sweet potatoes because they’re often hailed as a healthier alternative.

Healthy Toppings

The list of toppings used in traditional potato salad isn’t extremely long, but feel free to experiment. The add-ins you use can significantly up the fiber content of your potato salad, especially if you opt for raw vegetables and leafy greens. You’ll also be able to cut down on potatoes this way.

What About Mayo?

Even if you manage to cut down on potatoes, your salad will still contain one of its most problematic ingredients—mayo. Since this condiment comes with a high amount of saturated fat, you should consider ditching it or replacing it with healthier alternatives to make your potato salad truly pop.

]]> As much as we enjoy burgers and dogs fresh off the grill, when it comes to summer barbecues, it’s the sides we really look forward to. There are so many fun ways to prepare fresh vegetables, and when else do we get to think of potatoes and pasta as “salads?”

Store-bought side dishes will work in a pinch, but in our experience, there are some dishes that are worth making from scratch. Preparing your own sides is also a great way to make sure that everyone’s dietary preferences are able to be met. As summer comes to an end and we get ready for the final cookouts of the season, these are the side dishes we’ll be making on repeat.

Horiatiki Pasta Salad

When most of us think of feta cheese, fresh veggies, and Kalamata olives, we refer to it as a Greek salad, but the “official” name for this combination is horiatiki. This pasta salad recipe is packed with Mediterranean flavors and is a certified crowd-pleaser at any summer gathering. 

Cucumber Salad With Fresh Herbs

Getting your greens in has never been so easy and delicious. This cucumber salad by Minimalist Baker incorporates fresh dill and mint and is ready to serve in just 15 minutes. It can be made with either regular or vegan feta and is naturally gluten-free. 

Roasted Radish & New Potato Salad

The prettiest salad we ever did see. This healthy take on classic potato salad features pink and purple radishes and bite-sized potatoes and is made without mayonnaise. Finish with some spring onion for even more color.

]]> Are you heading to a barbecue or a picnic this summer? If you are, you probably know one thing that you can definitely expect to see there: egg salad. Unfortunately, as a vegan, you typically can’t indulge in the creamy goodness. Unless, of course, you make and bring your own vegan egg salad. Made with what? Tofu, of course. Here is how to make it.

Ingredients

  • Firm or medium-firm tofu
  • Vegan mayonnaise
  • Nutritional yeast
  • Yellow mustard
  • Green onion
  • Himalayan sea salt
  • Turmeric
  • Salt
  • Pepper

Directions

Putting together this vegan egg salad is incredibly simple, even easier than making real egg salad (no need to boil eggs!).

Start by cutting up your drained, dry tofu into small cubes. In a large bowl, combine the tofu cubes, vegan mayo, nutritional yeast, yellow mustard, and green onion. Don’t forget the Himalayan sea salt, which gives the tofu its eggy flavor, and the turmeric, which lends a yellow, eggy color. Mix it all together until well combined and then season with salt and pepper to taste.

You can serve it on its own just like that or, alternatively, as part of an egg salad sandwich. Just pile a big spoonful onto some bread and add lettuce and tomato.
