This potato salad features tender potatoes and crunchy veggies coated in a creamy dressing. It's just as tasty as the classic version, but made with healthier whole food plant-based ingredients!

Ingredients

Servings
  • 2 lbs. fingerling potatoes (or regular red or Yukon gold)
  • 1/4 cup red onion
  • 2 carrot medium
  • 3 celery about 1 cup, stalks
  • 2 Tbsp. dill fresh

For the creamy dressing:

  • 3/4 cup vegan cashew mayo
  • 3 Tbsp. mustard stoneground
  • 2 Tbsp. Dijon mustard
  • 1 Tbsp. pure maple syrup

Instructions

  1. Rinse potatoes and cut into about 3/4-inch chunks.
  2. Place potatoes in a medium-large saucepan. Fill with water until it's 1 inch above potatoes. Add 1/4 tsp. salt to water if desired.
  3. Place saucepan over high heat and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for about 5-6 minutes or until fork-tender (not mushy).
  4. While potatoes are cooking, prepare vegetables: Finely dice onion, dice celery, and shred/grate carrot.
  5. Make dressing: In a small bowl, add all dressing ingredients. Stir to combine. (I use the full 1/2 tsp. salt in the cashew mayo recipe to help bring out all the flavors.)
  6. In a large mixing bowl, add drained potatoes, vegetables, and fresh dill (chopped). Add dressing and toss well. Salt & pepper to taste. Can serve immediately, but it's even better after chilling.*

Notes

  • *Chilling: The flavors intensify as it chills, so it's great made at least 4 hours in advance. Store in an airtight container in the fridge.
  • Variations: Add fresh parsley, chives, chopped pickles or pickle relish, capers, lemon juice, smoked paprika, bell pepper, etc.
  • Yield: Recipe makes about 8 cups potato salad.
  • Inspiration: Recipe inspired by a potato salad I enjoyed at the Marquette, MI Food Co-op.
  • Recipe originally published March 2018. Updated June 2024.
