Fragrant with dill and featuring tender asparagus spears and tangy cherry tomatoes, this hearty potato salad bowl from The Ultimate Plant-Based Cookbook by Sarah Cobacho (of Plantbaes fame) is a nutritious twist on a classic BBQ side and is a full meal in itself. The creamy, cashew-based dill sauce enhances the natural goodness of the potatoes, making them the star of the dish. Lima beans (aka butter beans) add extra oomph and sliced kalamata olives lend a pop of briny flavor. “It’s a crowd-pleaser,” Cobacho writes, “even winning over my non-vegan Aussie family.”

Tips
Gluten-free: This salad can be made gluten-free if you use a gluten-free Dijon mustard.
Butter beans: This recipe calls for cooked lima (butter) beans, so be sure to have those ready before you start. You can prepare your own or use canned beans. Typically, a 14 oz. can contains about 1½ cups of cooked beans.

By Sarah Cobacho,
Ingredients
- ¼ cup raw cashews
- 7 medium-sized asparagus stalks, ends trimmed
- 1½ lb potatoes, skin on, chopped into bite-sized chunks
- ¼ cup fresh dill
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- ¼ cup soy milk

Instructions
- In a heatproof bowl, soak the cashews in boiling water for a minimum of 20 minutes. Drain and set aside.
