    Yesterday we talked about spring's hottest trend (well at least in my house) - Creamy Dreamy Green Sauce. The creamy, herby, green sauce that is packed with flavor and the perfect topper for just about everything.

    And I couldn't leave you hanging without the most perfect spring recipe to use it with.

    Potato salad is a classic side dish that comes out when the weather gets warm. And while I love the classic version (you can get my vegan version here), I also love the idea of a lightened up twist on a classic.

    Because we all know we're not getting a whole lotta nutritional value from the traditional version. 

    How to make Vegan Spring Potato Salad

    This potato salad starts off with some roasted potatoes. Tossed in olive oil, garlic powder, salt & pepper, then roasted until crispy. While these potatoes are simple, they are perfectly seasoned to match up with our creamy dreamy green sauce. Because who are we kidding we all know the sauce is the real star of the show here.

    TSV TIP: Prefer your potatoes oil-free? Check out my No Oil Roasted Potatoes to see how you can get crispy potatoes without any oil.

    Making the green sauce only takes 5 minutes and I take you through the whole process here. I recommend making a full batch of the sauce and using as much or as little as you want on the potato salad. Add a little bit at a time until it has the right sauciness. Then store the rest in the fridge.

    The perfect marinade, dressing or dip - this Creamy Dreamy Green Sauce is packed full of fresh herbs, avocado and a slight kick from jalapeño. Ready in 5 minutes | ThisSavoryVegan.com #sauce #dressing #vegan

    I served this over a bed of arugula. I love the bite arugula gives this, but I know some of you can't stand the stuff. And if that's the case, feel free to swap it for your greens of choice. Spinach would be great or even a mixed bag of greens. Whatever floats your boat.

    Throw everything in a bowl, sprinkle some fresh lemon juice over it, and toss it until combined. You can serve this immediately or let the potatoes cool to room temperature. If you are making this ahead of time, I would wait to combine all of your ingredients until right before serving - this will ensure your greens stay fresh.

    Have leftovers? Store in the fridge and serve at room temperature.

    This would be the perfect side dish for Easter or just a weekend get-together.
