Healthy Potato Salad

This is a very healthy recipe for a potato salad that is vegan. I have never liked potato salad because of the commercial mayonnaise used even in homemade salads. First, the commercial mayonnaise creates nausea for me, and secondly, I know from reading the label that those are not the things I want in my body. Another thing that I never liked about potato salads is that you don't get lots of other vegetables in it to get the right balance of carbs.  This potato salad is not only vegan, but also has some other delicious veggies to balance out the starch of a potato salad.
