Top it off with some extra cilantro, and enjoy!

I have become a fan of Indian food lately because so much is easily adapated to WFPB. This potato salad sounds great, but I might add more onion and some celery. I love the crunch.

I have fixed this potato salad a couple of times for get-togethers. It has been a hit! The second time I made it, I used a lot more cumin than was called for and I liked it even better. Definitely a keeper.

You are adding 4 1/2 cups of veggies (pepper, cucumber, onion, tomatoes) and since the 2 Large russet potatoes are being cut into 1-inch cubes that would be the remaining 3 1/2 cups.
