Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs potatoes, washed and quartered

  • Put the potatoes in a large bowl and add pesto: Spoon the vegan pesto over the potato mixture and gently toss until the potatoes are coated with the pesto.
  • Chill and Serve: Cover the potato salad and refrigerate for at least an 30 minutes to an hour to allow the flavors to meld. Serve chilled, and enjoy as a side dish or a light main course.
