Take that boring potato salad up a notch! With roasted tri-color potatoes and celeriac root and a creamy tahini sauce, there's nothing not to love! Gluten-free, vegan, and paleo without the heaviness of the classic, there's a new favorite in town!

Tahini Celeriac Potato Salad | Strength and Sunshine @RebeccaGF666 Take that boring potato salad up a notch! With roasted tri-color potatoes and celeriac root and a creamy tahini sauce, there's nothing not to love! Gluten-free, vegan, and paleo without the heaviness of the classic recipe, there's a new healthy favorite on the table!

Not only did I recreate the classic Italian pasta salad, but I also recreated the most perfect potato salad ever! As a self-proclaimed potato addict and the fact that my #1 favorite food is potatoes, I had to create a potato salad that would satisfy any potato snob. Just like that pasta salad, I used to love potato salad! Who wouldn't love some creamy potato goodness? And of course, I hadn't had any in years. That needed to be fixed fast since potatoes are my oxygen and blood.

Gluten-free, vegan, and paleo without the heaviness of the classic recipe, there's a new healthy favorite on the table!

To make this potato salad, I didn't even take look at a classic potato salad recipe for inspiration, I let the grocery store and my own kitchen guide me. Maybe though, I just have an inborn potato instinct that leads me to great potatoness. Maybe? So when I had a big bag of Frieda's tri-colored fingerling potatoes, a beautiful celeriac root, some baby radishes, fresh dill, and glorious creamy tahini, I knew exactly how this salad would go.

Now, you may think I'm biased, but this is the best potato salad I've ever had, hand's down. The flavor, the creaminess, the pure bliss. This was also the first recipe I made using celeriac or "celery root". I am now a new fan of the funny looking dirty bulb. It may scare you in the grocery store, this big knobby messy root, but under it's rough exterior is a beauty created by nature. Just peel, chop and cube, and roast!

When you eat this potato salad, you can't even tell what's a potato and what's a piece of celeriac. The root has a pretty neutral taste and can fool anyone into thinking this salad is all potatoes. By adding the celeriac, you also cut down on the carbs and get to add even more veggie variety to your diet. There's also those cut up little radishes too, just for fun 😉 They get sliced up and thrown on the roasting pan half-way through the roasting of the over veg as not to get too soft.

Roasting up the veg was the easy part. Again, I had the task of coming up with the perfect sauce. I wanted a classic creamy potato salad and it had to be vegan. I am not all about those overly processed vegan mayos (many of which have soy) or any such"spread" on the market. My go-to before for a "mayo" base had been tahini, so that would be my go-to this time as well. Boy am I glad with that decision! That nutty/seedy deep taste of tahini with the roasted potatoes is simply out of this world!

So far, we have roasted potatoes, celeriac, radishes, tahini, and now for the dill. O, dill was the herb made for potatoes! It's one of my favorites. Fresh or dried, dill is always in my kitchen and I just love adding it to potato dishes. Fun facts: dill is actually part of the celery family, just like celeriac and dill is good for the tummy! Total win there! Dill id so aromatic, kinda sweet, but savory just as well.

Fancy side dishes stemming from the classics is the sign of a foodie; a foodie who knows how to party!

So tell me:

+ Ever had celeriac root?

+ Will you be hosting a 4th of July party or just an attendee?

    I love potato salad! And I haven't used celery root before, I did find the look of it a little intimidating, but I'll give it a try as you haven't steered me wrong yet ;p
    I especially like the sound of the dressing. I do buy prepared vegan mayo from time to time for salads like this, but I really prefer the sound of your tahini based dressing. So much lighter, and homemade is always better.

    I'm not a huge potato salad eater. I usually find it at picnics and it's filled with mayonnaise or it's too mustard-y and I just don't trust it. But this....this.....well, you made me at tahini. I never would have thought tahini. Brilliant!

    This looks so delicious and you know how I love potatoes! We're going to my parents' house for the 4th and I do usually bring some sort of potato salad. Great flavors you used and I've never tried celeriac, but I can see where it would go nicely with the potatoes. Awesomeness 🙂

    Looks good Rebecca! I love anything with dill.

    I'll be attending a party on Friday and then meeting up with a huge group of friends at the park on Saturday to watch the fireworks and listen to Wynonna Judd, this year's entertainment.

    Have a safe and happy 4th!

    This is the FIRST time that I actually thought that potato salad sounded and looked good! This looks AMAZING!! I've not seen celeriac around though - is actual celery a decent substitute? If not, should I add something else or leave it out? You are so creative in the kitchen!! Keep it coming!!!

    Huge fan of potato salad! Store bought always turns out to be so heavy and mayo ridden. Loving the addition of celery root - I haven't cooked with it at home yet. Thanks for reminding me about my full jar of tahini I haven't used in months (literally) - maybe I should make this 😉

    Coming from Germany I obviously have to get excited about a potato recipe ;). No, but really, this sounds great. I ate lots of celeriac root growing up and while I wouldn't call it beautiful it's delicious with its distinct taste and texture.
