Another cauliflower recipe you say. Well you know roasted cauliflower is fabulous any time of the year. You can make this salad without the cauliflower too. Just potatoes, chickpeas, and zucchini in a creamy dressing. the bland summer potato salad, be gone! This Vegan potato salad has roasted veggies and a load of flavor! Potatoes and cauliflower are roasted to a crisp brown, the chickpeas and zucchini are roasted lightly to golden, tossed in dressing, topped with fresh herbs.
I had the Follow Your Heart Vegan Sour Cream sitting the fridge for days now for review. I hardly ever use packaged sour cream, cream cheese, and other condiments. Sometimes, though, they do come in handy for a quick fix. Follow Your Heart sour cream is creamy and delicious. With a little help, the taste and texture shine through.

I made this but used Broccoli instead of Cauliflower. I also put on a few sunflower seeds to top it off. My hubby enjoyed it and he is a carnvoir! Will definitely make this again! Thank you so much for sharing!
So glad you liked it!
I love this recipe & my kids ask for it all the time. The sauce is great on baked potatoes too. I make it for every summer cookout & it’s always a hit. Thank you, Richa!
Yay! Thanks for taking the time to comment.
Can this be made with some substitute for the oil?
Thank you.
Yes use Aquafaba
This looks fantastic! Can’t wait to make it.
Do you think I could I swap out the sour cream for vedan mayo?
yes!
Thank you!
Outstanding!! I used the sour cream recipe to make the dressing and it turned out amazing. I might try it with a tofu sour cream next time just to compare but I will absolutely be making this again.
Yay! Thank you!
A summer must in our house! Love the flavor. I hv made your homemade sour cream and also used a tofu sour cream, both great. Added some fresh parsley and green onion before serving recently and loved that!
love the summer classics
