This\u00a0Green Potato Salad with Tofu Pesto Dressing was made by, Jess\u00a0Kotlowitz, The Green Dietician<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

I love salads that double as complete meals and not just as sides. Not only is this an easy way to get in all your nutrients, but it is also a great convenient way to eat and prepare meals, especially when you are time limited. This salad keeps for a good 5 days in the fridge (dressing separate) and is brilliant for work lunches during the week or to take with to a braai or family gathering on the weekend (especially in those cases where the salad may be your only plant-based option!). My idea of a balanced meal is a meal that contains lots of vegetables (preferably including some green veg), a healthy starch, a high quality protein and some healthy fats. This salad contains all of those key components and is packed full of nutrition: healthy starch from the potatoes, greens from the rocket and basil, protein from the peas and tofu and healthy fats from the walnuts. What more could a Dietitian ask for?<\/p>\n
