Potato salad with wild garlic pestois a real pleasure. I usually know potato salad as either a classic French version or with a creamy dressing. But this potato salad is quite different because it is flavored with an aromatic wild garlic pesto. It’s finally getting warmer and spring is in full swing. This invites to extensive walks, where you can often find wild garlic leaves. Just pluck it, take it with you, wash it thoroughly and make a great pesto out of it. Admittedly, sometimes I am not quite sure if it is really wild garlic. To be sure, I do the rub test on the leaf and try to find out by smell if it really is wild garlic. In the near future I will certainly take a wild herbs course once, just to get a better understanding of it. But now we turn to our highlight of today the potato salad.
Vegan potato salad with wild garlic pesto
You’re invited to a barbecue and you’re supposed to bring a potato salad? Then this recipe is just the thing for you, as it makes a nice change from the classic potato salads. The preparation of the tubers is done quickly, or simply. Boil water, brush potatoes a little and boil them with the peel until soft. The dressing could not be simpler, because it consists simply of a single ingredient, wild garlic pesto. You can find the instructions here. What else do I put in the salad? Cherry tomatoes and white onion, cut into fine rings.
Otherwise, you can refine the salad according to personal taste, for example with:
- Paprika
- Spring onion
- Carrots
- Cucumbers
- Celery

Are potatoes actually healthy?
But now back to our potato salad and the question of whether potatoes are actually healthy? The answer is yes. It’s the preparation alone that determines whether you make a healthy salad or a drippy, greasy fry.
Here are the advantages of potatoes once again summarized. Potatoes are:
- very low in calories , consist of up to 80% water
- form during cooling resistant starch which, like dietary fiber, are indigestible but extremely good “food” for healthy intestinal bacteria.
- rich in vegetable protein , B vitamins, vitamin C and potassium
- contain Flavonoids and Anthocyanins (valuable secondary plant compounds), which can protect against cardiovascular disease and cancer.
The only question is which is better, organic or conventionally grown potatoes? Here the answer is clearly pro organic! why? Organic farmers are not allowed to use synthetic mineral fertilizers. This means that the potatoes ultimately contain an average of 30 percent less nitrate and many times less pesticide residues. I always buy organic potatoes directly from the farmer at the farm. This saves money and unnecessary transport routes, as in the case of early potatoes from Egypt, for example.
But now enough with theory and back to our salad.
The potato salad with wild garlic pesto is:
- hearty
- Super nutritious
- aromatic
- creamy
- Perfect with grilled food and picnic
