  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

For the Potatoes:

  • 700 g small potatoes
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt & pepper to taste

For the Sauce:

  • 1 cup vegan yogurt
  • 3 tbsp vegan mayonnaise
  • 1.5 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2-3 tbsp chili crisp, plus more for topping
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped (about 2 tbsp)

For the Veggies:

  • 1 cucumber, thinly sliced
  • 2-3 spring onions, chopped
  • 1 shallot, thinly sliced
  • 2 carrots, shredded or julienned

To Serve:

  • More sesame seeds for garnish
  • Extra spring onions, chopped
  • Additional chili crisp for topping

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Potatoes: Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Wash the small potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry. Toss them with olive oil, salt, and pepper until evenly coated. Spread the potatoes on a baking sheet in a single layer and roast for 25-30 minutes, or until they are tender inside and slightly crispy on the outside. Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly.
  2. Make the Sauce: In a bowl, combine the vegan yogurt, vegan mayonnaise, soy sauce, and 2-3 tablespoons of chili crisp. Stir in the sesame seeds and chopped fresh cilantro. Mix well until the sauce is creamy and all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
  3. Prepare the Vegetables: While the potatoes roast, thinly slice the cucumber and shallot, chop the spring onions, and shred or julienne the carrots. Set aside.
  4. Assemble the Salad Bowl: Once the potatoes have cooled a bit, slice them if desired or leave whole. In a large serving bowl, toss the potatoes gently with the prepared sauce to coat evenly. Add the sliced cucumber, shallots, spring onions, and carrots on top or mix lightly to combine.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle additional sesame seeds, extra chopped spring onions, and more chili crisp on top for added flavor and crunch. Serve the salad bowl fresh as a vibrant, flavorful, and healthy meal.

Notes

  • Small new potatoes work best for roasting and holding their shape.
  • You can adjust the amount of chili crisp in the sauce to suit your preferred spice level.
  • This salad is perfect served warm or at room temperature.
  • For a non-vegan version, you can substitute vegan yogurt and mayo with regular yogurt and mayonnaise.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat potatoes separately if preferred.
