Potatoes are a wonderful vegetable that offers endless possibilities in the kitchen. Their versatility shines, especially in hearty salads.
Today, I’d like to share a delicious recipe for a vegan potato salad, featuring fresh flavors and a creamy dressing. Whether as a side to other dishes or as a main meal, this potato salad will pamper your taste buds.
Ingredients
For the Salad
- 500g potatoes (waxy), peeled and cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 red onion, finely chopped
- 3 spring onions, sliced into thin rings
- A handful of fresh parsley, chopped
- A handful of fresh chives, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the Dressing
- 3 tbsp vegan mayonnaise, homemade or store-bought
- 2 tbsp unsweetened soy yogurt (or another plant-based yogurt)
- 1 tbsp mustard
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tsp maple syrup or agave nectar
- A pinch of garlic powder
- A pinch of onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Bring the potato pieces to a boil in a pot of salted water. Let them cook for about 10-15 minutes until they are soft but still firm. Drain and let them cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, combine the finely chopped red onion, spring onion rings, chopped parsley, and chives.
- Add the slightly cooled potato pieces to the cut vegetables in the bowl and gently stir to mix everything well.
- For the dressing, mix vegan mayonnaise, soy yogurt, mustard, apple cider vinegar, and maple syrup in a small bowl.
- Add a pinch of garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper, and stir well to evenly distribute the spices.
- Pour the creamy dressing over the potato salad and gently fold everything to evenly coat the potatoes and vegetables.
- Place the vegan potato salad in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to unfold and the dressing to soak in.
- Just before serving, taste the salad again with salt and pepper and add more fresh herbs if desired.
This creamy and hearty potato salad is a delightful addition to your meals and goes exceptionally well with barbecues, picnics, or simply as a satisfying side to your main dishes.
