Directions
45 mins to prep
20 mins to cook
-
Step 1
In a small bowl, add cashews and pour over boiling water. Set aside for 20 minutes, then drain.
-
Step 2
To a large pot, add potatoes and enough water to cover them plus an extra couple of inches. Bring to a boil, then reduce to medium-high heat and cook for around 20 minutes, adding the peas 5 minutes before the end of the cooking time. The potatoes are done when you can pierce one with a knife without too much resistance.
-
Step 3
Strain the veggies and run under cold water to stop the cooking. When cool enough, cut the potatoes into bite-sized chunks.
-
Step 4
In the meantime, add the onions and lemon juice to a large bowl. Toss well. This will help to take out some of the bite from the onions. Set aside.
-
Step 5
To make the dressing, add the drained cashews, apple cider vinegar, mustard, olive oil, salt, and 8–10 tablespoons of water to a small food processor or blender. The amount of water will depend on how loose you want your dressing. Blend until smooth.
-
Step 6
To the bowl with the lemon and onions, add the cooked potatoes and peas, mint, dressing, and a good amount of freshly cracked pepper. Mix well and adjust the seasoning to taste.
-
Step 7
Top with coconut bacon and serve.
