Creamy Classic Vegan Potato Salad
A chilled, tangy-smooth potato salad featuring tender Yukon Gold potatoes, crunchy celery, sweet relish and zesty Dijon mustard. It is the perfect make-ahead side dish for picnics and cookouts.
Instructions
Step 1: Prep and cube potatoes
Rinse potatoes and peel if you like a smoother texture. Cut into 1in (2.5cm) cubes.
Step 2: Boil until tender
Place the potatoes in a large pot, cover with cold water, and optionally add 2 tsp of salt. Bring to a boil and cook until just fork-tender, about 6–8 minutes.
Step 3: Drain and cool
Drain well in a colander. Spread on a tray to steam-dry, then let cool for about 30 minutes.
Step 4: Make the dressing
In a large bowl, whisk together the vegan mayonnaise, sweet relish, chopped celery, chopped red onion, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, onion powder, garlic powder, dried dill, paprika, black pepper, and the ½ tsp of salt.
Step 5: Combine gently
Add cooled potatoes to the bowl. Fold with a spatula until coated, tasting and adding more salt or pepper as needed.
Step 6: Chill to set flavor
Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to let the flavors meld. Stir before serving and adjust seasoning if desired.
