Vegan Potato Salad

This is a perfect vegan alternative to the traditional potato salad. It is also a much healthier option. By substituting avocado and olive oil for mayonnaise you get the usual creaminess without all the calories. Garnish with chives or green onions. Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator.
