Natto Potato Salad with Tangy-Tamarind Dressing

Makes: 4

Prep Time: 5 minutes

Cook Time: 15 minutes

This distinctive potato salad was inspired by customer requests for creative ways to use our freeze-dried natto and tamarind paste. We set out to mellow the strong flavor and unique texture of natto by incorporating it into a familiar favorite—while adding a tangy twist with tamarind for extra zest. If you're curious about natto but unsure where to begin, this dish is a gentle and flavorful introduction, offering gut-health benefits in a deliciously approachable way. Be sure to prepare the natto in advance, following the instructions on the package. While we left the potato skins on, you can easily slip them off after cooking and cooling if you prefer a smoother texture.
