cascadian spring potato salad
from Farmer Koll

I've always loved potato salad. This preparation is based on the old-fashioned "family-style" recipe my mother used, originally from an early 70's barbeque cookbook. This went over really well at my household. I made it on June 3, 2007.

Ingredients
  • Potatoes: chopped, boiled, drained, and then chilled.
  • Turnips, treated the same way.
  • Duck eggs: boiled then chilled and sliced
  • Vegan mayonnaise - you can use "regular" mayonnaise or make your own
  • Radishes: raw, sliced
  • Onion: raw, chopped
  • Lovage seed (instead of celery seed; Lovage seed is very easy to grow here)
  • Mustard seed, saved from last year
  • Apple cider vinegar, a splash
  • Bok choi, chopped (instead of celery; it's in season and at the farmer's market)
Preparation
  • Combine taters, turnips, radishes, onion, and bok choi.
  • Stir in the mayonnaise.
  • Mix in the seeds and splash in the vinegar.
  • Gently fold in the sliced boiled eggs.
  • Garnish top with small radishes, baby turnips, sliced eggs.
  • I used the bok choi leaves to line the bowl.
  • Refrigerate until served.
