Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
- 1 cup Vegan mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 2 Celery stalks
- 0.5 Red onion
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
Instructions
Fill a large pot with water and add a teaspoon of salt. Bring the water to a boil over high heat.
While waiting for the water to boil, peel and cut the Yukon Gold potatoes into 3/4-inch cubes.
Once the water is boiling, carefully add the cubed potatoes to the pot. Cook them for about 10-15 minutes or until they are just tender but not falling apart. Use a fork to test for doneness.
Drain the cooked potatoes in a colander and let them cool slightly. Transfer them to a large mixing bowl.
While the potatoes are cooling, finely chop the celery stalks and the red onion half.
In a separate small bowl, prepare the dressing by combining the vegan mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix until well combined.
Add the chopped celery, red onion, dill, and parsley to the cooled potatoes in the mixing bowl.
Pour the prepared dressing over the potato mixture. Gently stir to combine all ingredients, ensuring that the potatoes are well coated. Be careful not to mash the potatoes.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. You may add a bit more salt or pepper according to your taste preference.
Refrigerate the potato salad for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve chilled as a side dish or as part of a picnic spread. Enjoy!
