This roasted curried apple potato salad is a vibrant twist on a classic side dish, blending warm, earthy spices with fresh, seasonal ingredients. By roasting the red potatoes until crisp before tossing them in a creamy curry dressing, you achieve a satisfying texture that traditional boiled salads often lack. The addition of crisp apple slices and hearty kale adds a refreshing crunch and a boost of nutrients, making this vegan dish feel both indulgent and wholesome.
Ideal for a light lunch or as a sophisticated accompaniment to your favourite plant-based proteins, this salad is exceptionally versatile. The savoury notes of the tamari and Dijon mustard perfectly balance the sweetness of the fruit, creating a complex flavour profile that works beautifully year-round. It is a brilliant option for those seeking a modern, gluten-free, and dairy-free alternative for gatherings or simple weekday meals.

Ingredients for Roasted Curried Apple Potato Salad
900g red potatoes, halved and quartered
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 Fuji or Honeycrisp apple, halved and cut into thin slices
3 cups curly kale leaves, torn
45ml olive oil mayonnaise or Vegenaise mayonnaise
3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon curry powder
2 tablespoons reduced- sodium tamari soy sauce or Bragg Liquid Aminos
1 tablespoon fennel or caraway seeds (optional)
How to make Roasted Curried Apple Potato Salad
Preheat the oven to 191°C and line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil.
Place the potatoes on the prepared baking sheet and toss with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil to coat. Place on the middle rack in the oven and roast for 40 minutes. When the potatoes are fork-tender and crispy on the outside, remove from the oven and set aside to cool slightly.
While the potatoes are roasting, make the dressing: Whisk together the mayonnaise, mustard, curry powder, tamari soy sauce or Bragg Liquid Aminos, and caraway or fennel seeds, if using, in a large bowl until well combined.
Add the slightly cooled potatoes to the bowl and toss well to coat with the dressing. Add the apple and kale, and gently toss again and serve immediately!
