Prepare a Fun Green Potato Salad

I had a lot of fun making a green mac and cheese a while ago, and this time I'm back with a pastel green potato salad! Before you start thinking this is a gimmick to get kids to eat their veggies (which it is), let me just say that it's a tasty gimmick that's just as fun for adults as it is for kids.

The creamy avocado makes a great substitute for mayonnaise providing a marvelously creamy texture without the cholesterol. The nutritional yeast contributes plenty of savory umami, and the lemon juice adds just a hint of tartness. Together with the potatoes and scallions it makes for a satisfying potato salad with a vibrant hue, regardless of how you feel about plant-based diets.

I've kept it pretty simple, but this would be terrific with some quick pickled cucumbers, dried fruit or pumpkin seeds. The only catch is that you need to eat it within a few hours of preparing it because the avocados tend to oxidize turning the salad into an unappetizing shade of brown.
