Roasted Potato Salad with Watercress and Chipotle Cream

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

 

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.

Chef Monique Starks Daytime Vegan

 

My name is Monique and welcome to Daytime Vegan! I am a chef & health mentor. I create delicious global inspired vegan recipes to encourage you to eat more plant-based foods, even if you’re not 100% vegan!

I started this lifestyle in order to heal my disease, Endometriosis, and my Ovarian Cysts.
Adding more whole plant foods to my diet, & decreasing the amount of meat & processed foods I consume, was the best decision I could have made for my health. Daytime Vegan focuses on nutrition, not calories. Consuming mostly Whole Plant Foods on a daily basis is key to good health.

  • Poblano Peppers Roasted & Stuffed with Vegan Carnitas, Rice, and Vegan Cheese. I’ll link this recipe in the bio, or just visit daytimevegan.com . The recipe was inspired by the stuffed peppers at @panchosvegantacos . Their food is amazing, but if you can’t make it to Vegas, try my recipe instead. It’s just as amazing 😋! I feel bad for disappearing on IG, but social media is super draining. A couple of weeks ago my brother told me he missed seeing posts of my smoothies and vegan food on his IG feed, so I’ve finally crawled from my hiding place to make a post. A lot has changed in my life over the last few months. I’ve started a new, personal, Instagram page sharing the journey I’m on. It is completely unrelated to vegan food, so I don’t know if you all would be interested. I have so many other interests, in addition to eating plant based, so I’ve been pouring some of my creativity into these things. I’ll give you a hint about this new journey I started 7 months ago...it has a little to do with van life, but it’s not a van 🙂. It’s even smaller! I’m hesitant to share this journey online. People have no problem sharing their rude opinions of the life choices of others behind the screen of a phone or computer. That’s the risk we take when sharing our personal lives online. Anyways, how are you? How is quarantine life? I hope you are well. Me...I’m feeling free. Curious of what the future brings...ready, anxious, the least stressed I’ve felt in YEARS, optimistic, and most of all...happy. #veganfood #cincodemayo #cincodemayorecipes #veganmexicanfood #vegandinnerrecipes
  • Lentil Curry⁣ -⁣ These are Ethiopian inspired lentils. I am still perfecting my Ethiopian lentil recipe, so this is not on the blog, but I will let you all know when it's on there.⁣ -⁣ I'm super hard on myself when it comes to making Ethiopian Lentils because there's a restaurant in Atlanta called Desta Ethiopian Kitchen and they make the BEST lentils in America! I am determined to get my lentils to taste almost as good as theirs, if not AS good! I'm always comparing mine to theirs (even though I shouldn't because mine really are good), so I'm never satisfied! I'll get it one day.⁣ -⁣ Any of you ever been to @destaethiopiankitchen ?!
  • Jajangmyeon | Rice Noodles with an AMAZING Chinese-Korean Black Bean Sauce and Vegetables.⁣ -⁣ Rice noodles are coated in a rich delicious sauce of korean black bean paste mixed with sesame oil, rice vinegar, a little coconut aminos (or soy sauce if you're not soy-intolerant), & ginger all tossed with yummy vegetables!⁣ -⁣ Recipe on daytimevegan.com, just do a search for it!⁣ -
  • Making some Sweet Potato Risotto today. Last year, I learned how to make risotto in a pressure cooker and it was hands down one of the best things i discovered that year.⁣ -⁣ For those who do not know, traditional risotto is a time-consuming dish to make that requires good technique to get it just perfect. Many people cheat and add cream to their risotto to make it creamy, but cream should not be added. You have to keep stirring the risotto while it cooks, add more stock, stir, add stock, stir, and so on. The starch from the short grain rice releases and makes the dish super creamy.⁣ -⁣ An Italian might want to fight me for making risotto this way! It's definitely not the traditional method, but if you have a pressure cooker, or maybe even an instant pot, then try making risotto in it!⁣ -
  • Tahini Vanilla Bean Ice Cream topped with Shaved Vegan Chocolate, Pepitas, and Raisins⁣ -⁣ I accidentally discovered that tahini and raisins taste great together when making this ice cream. I needed some toppings for the photograph and all I had was chocolate, pepitas, & raisins, so I said "eh, why not". It was amazing! So yea...tahini and raisins are a thing now. Give this a try!⁣ -⁣ Recipe is on the blog, just do a search for Tahini Vanilla Bean Ice Cream.
  • Peach Apple Green Smoothie⁣ -⁣ Frozen peaches, fresh apples, a hint of lime juice, water, and a handful of kale are blended to make a refreshing smoothie! I put ice in this smoothie because sometimes I love when they are super cold, particularly after my workout!
