New Potatoes with CucumberI am going to be posting 12 recipes for Christmas, all vegan and all scrumptalicious. I am a big Christmas person, some may find us Christmas people extremely annoying, but I LOVE CHRISTMAS. I was supposed to be traveling to see my family for the first time in 3 years, and I was quite excited to make the trip. Unfortunately, because of my endless medical problems, I’ve had to postpone the trip until January, BUT I won’t let that stop my Christmas cheer or cooking. Let’s get started!

If you’re like me, Christmas cooking starts right about now, and there are literally 12 days of it. Parties and major holiday events start this week and with them come all the food. For me the best way to start off a meal is with a palate cleanser. My new potatoes with cucumber may seem extremely simple, but it goes down a treat!

3 lbs new potatoes
1 large cucumber
3tsp chopped fresh mint
splash of olive or safflower oil

No need to peel the potatoes!
Boil potatoes for around 15 minutes.
Drain and cool them.
Peel and chop the cucumber.
Add cucumber and mint to potatoes.
Splash on some olive or safflower oil.
See? Really easy, but really tasty!
