How to Prepare Fancy Pesto Potato Salad [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

Add the chickpeas, pesto, and water to a blender and blend them until they're creamy. If you don't have any store bought pesto, you can make a dressing using the chickpea base and adding a generous handful basil, an extra tablespoon of nutritional yeast, a handful of pine nuts, and salt to taste to the blender with the chickpeas to create your homemade pesto dressing.
Start by cutting the potatoes into bite sized pieces and placing them in a big pot.
Cover the potatoes with water and boil them for about 15 minutes or until you can easily poke them with a fork.
Remove the potatoes from the water and place them in a large bowl.
Add the red onion, dill, pesto dressing, spring onions, and hot/bell pepper (if you are using them).
Finally, add the lemon, salt, and pepper to taste and chill the salad in the refrigerator, or eat it right away.
