This Roasted Potato Salad with Watercress and Chipotle Cream is the best potato salad recipe I’ve made so far!  It is a perfect accompaniment to grilled food, or any meal you make.  It is also an excellent main dish, maybe with some sautéed greens on the side.  I’ve been eating this dish with a side of stewed black beans, plantains, and a simple side salad!

Potato Salad with No Mayo?

I know that many people are looking for a healthier alternative to mayonnaise when making a potato salad recipe.  You can definitely use a vinaigrette if you want a lighter potato salad, but for those who still want that yummy, creamy, texture without the soybean oil and preservatives then you should give this recipe a try!

I blend cashews with lemon juice, garlic, cilantro, and some other goodies to make a delicious creamy sauce that is much healthier than mayo and tastes just as great, if not better!

 

 

Watercress

Technical terms:  Watercress is an aquatic plant species that grows under running water.  It is one of the oldest known leaf vegetables consumed by humans and is a part of the Brassicaceae family, which includes mustard, radish, and wasabi

Yummy Foodie Terms:  Watercress is a delicious leafy green with a spicy, peppery, kick similar to wasabi or arugula.  It can be used raw, in salads or green juices, or cooked and eaten as a side dish or used as an ingredient in another dish, such as this potato salad recipe!

In this recipe, we use it raw and the flavor goes very well with the chipotle in adobo sauce.  You should note that, although the watercress has a peppery kick and the cashew sauce includes chipotles, this dish is not spicy.  Buuut, if you’re still worried then you can skip the chipotle in adobo sauce and use spinach instead of watercress, or omit them altogether.

 

Suggested Accompaniments

Give this healthy potato salad recipe a try with one or all of the following:

Sautéed Plantain

Black Beans or Red Beans

Stewed Greens (such as kale, collards, or swiss chard)

 

 

Health Benefits of This Meal

Watercress contains more vitamin c than an orange, more calcium than milk, more iron than spinach, and more folate than bananas.

As a leafy green vegetable and cruciferous veggie, watercress is on the list of cancer-fighting foods.  This is because it’s rich in vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and enzymes, yet very low in calories, fats, sodium and other toxins.

A study reported in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition suggests that isothiocyanates (ITC), which are compounds found primarily in cruciferous vegetables, have been shown in laboratory studies to possess anticarcinogenic activity due to the enzymes found within them. In the study, volunteers were examined after the consumption of both cooked and uncooked watercress, which contains glucosinolates.
