Vegan Potato Salad is a creamy, plant-based twist on the classic side dish. Made with vegan mayo, crunchy vegetables, and fresh herbs, it’s a satisfying, dairy-free, and egg-free option perfect for picnics, barbecues, and everyday meals.

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds Yukon Gold or red potatoes
  • 1/2 cup vegan mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar or lemon juice
  • 2 celery stalks, finely chopped
  • 1/2 red onion or 3 green onions, chopped
  • 1/4 cup dill pickles or relish, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley or dill, chopped
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Boil the potatoes in salted water until fork-tender, about 15–20 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly.
  2. Once cool enough to handle, cut the potatoes into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large mixing bowl.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix together vegan mayo, Dijon mustard, and vinegar or lemon juice to create the dressing.
  4. Add chopped celery, onion, pickles, and herbs to the potatoes.
  5. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine until evenly coated.
  6. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
  7. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For an oil-free version, use mashed avocado or hummus in place of vegan mayo.
  • This salad tastes better after sitting for a few hours in the fridge.
  • Leave potato skins on for extra texture and nutrients.
  • Stir gently before serving and refresh with a bit of dressing if needed.
