If you’ve been searching for a recipe for creamy potato salad without mayonnaise, you’ve come to the right place. To make this salad creamy, I’ve used tahini paste.
Tahini paste is made from ground sesame seeds, and has a similar consistency to natural peanut butter. When you thin out the tahini paste with water, what you’re left with is a creamy pourable sauce that is perfect for dressing a potato salad.
