Vegan Potato Salad

Yield 6-8 servings

Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 lbs. Yukon gold potatoes, scrubbed
  • 1/2 cups celery, diced
  • 1/2 cup green onions (green parts only), diced
  • ½ cup sweet bell pepper, diced
  • ¼ cup dill, chopped

Potato Salad Dressing:

  • 1/2 – 3/4 cup vegan mayonnaise (store-bought or cashew mayo)
  • 1 heaping TBSP Eden Foods Yellow Mustard
  • ½ lemon, squeezed
  • Himalayan sea salt
  • Black pepper

Instructions

  1. Wash and scrub the potatoes and place them in a large pot. Cover with 1 1/2 inch of water, and add a generous pinch of salt.
  2. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to a gentle boil and cook about 15 – 20 minutes, until potatoes are just fork-tender. Drain potatoes and cool slightly.
  3. Once cooled, gently peel the skin away. Cut the potatoes into 1/2 inch cubes and place in a large mixing bowl.
  4. While potatoes are cooking and/or cooling, prepare the green onion, celery, bell pepper, and dill. Add to the bowl with the diced potatoes and set aside.
  5. In a small bowl, combine the mayo, mustard, Himalayan sea salt, and black pepper, and mix well. If the dressing is too thick, add a squeeze of lemon. If the dressing is too thin, add a little more mayo.
  6. Pour the dressing over the potato and vegetables in the large mixing bowl and toss to combine. Season with Himalayan sea salt and black pepper.
  7. Transfer the bowl to the refrigerator to chill for an hour or so before serving.
  8. Garnish with fresh dill. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-5 days.
