Tonight's recipe is all to-taste. Sorry, but, I just threw it in a bowl and loved it.

Fresh basil -- sliced and bruised
Fresh rosemary -- crushed and well bruised
Vegan 'butter'
Almond (or soy or rice) milk
Salt (optional)
Pepper (optional)

Don't peel potatoes, dice and boil until tender.
Drain.
In a bowl combine all ingredients to taste and until you achieve your desired consistency.

Red Potato Salad

Desperate for red potato salad with dill I found this recipe and made the necessary changes.

7-8 red potatoes - diced
2 cloves garlic - minced
1/3 small red onion (about 1/2 cup) - diced
2 cups Vegenaise
2-3 T dijon mustard
2 T dry rosemary leaves - crushed (after measuring)
1 T dried dillweed

1. Scrub potatoes and dice. Boil until tender, but not mushy. Drain
and let cool.
2. In a medium sized bowl combine remaining ingredients, be sure to
crush the rosemary leaves just before adding to the mix to bring out
the flavor.
3. When potatoes are cool gently combine with sauce.
4. Season to taste with extra dillweed, or rosemary

My salad was a bit too saucy, so you might want to add a couple more potatoes.
