Recipe: Creamy Vegan Potato Salad

I was looking for ideas to take to a vegan potluck recently when I stumbled across this vegan potato salad and knew I had to make it. The sauce looked so creamy it was hard to believe it was vegan, and it was even more delicious than I had even hoped. Seriously, I’m now putting this sauce on everything – veggies, pasta, you name it!
