Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds red potatoes
- 2 celery stalks
- 0.5 red onion
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
- 0.75 cup vegan mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Scrub the red potatoes clean and cut them into 1-inch cubes. Leave the skin on for added texture and color.
Fill a large pot with water, add a pinch of salt, and bring it to a boil. Add the cubed potatoes and cook for about 10-15 minutes, until they are tender and can be easily pierced with a fork. Do not overcook them.
While the potatoes are cooking, finely chop the celery stalks and red onion. Set them aside.
Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process. Allow them to cool completely.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the vegan mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.
Gently fold the cooled potatoes, chopped celery, red onion, and fresh dill into the dressing until all the ingredients are well coated.
Taste the salad and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least an hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve your Vegan Classic Red Potato Salad chilled as a refreshing side dish.
