Zesty Vegan Potato Salad Bowl

A Modern Twist on a Classic

Potato salad has long been a favorite at picnics, barbecues, and family gatherings. But traditional recipes often rely on mayonnaise and eggs, making them unsuitable for vegans. This Vegan Potato Salad Bowl offers all the creaminess and flavor of the original but with a plant-based twist.

Tips for Making It Your Own

1. Add Extra Protein:

  • Toss in cooked chickpeas or cubed tofu for added protein and texture.
  • Edamame or shelled peas also pair well with the flavors.

2. Get Creative with Veggies:

  • Add shredded carrots, bell peppers, or radishes for a colorful crunch.
  • Roasted sweet potatoes or beets can add a unique twist.

3. Boost the Dressing:

  • For a hint of sweetness, mix in a teaspoon of maple syrup or agave.
  • Add lemon zest for extra brightness.

4. Serve It Warm or Cold:

  • Warm potatoes absorb the dressing better, giving a slightly different, but equally delicious, flavor.

Creative Variations

1. Mediterranean Potato Salad:

  • Add Kalamata olives, cherry tomatoes, and fresh basil. Replace parsley with oregano, and use a touch of tahini in the dressing for a nutty flavor.

2. Spicy Chipotle Potato Salad:

  • Mix chipotle powder or adobo sauce into the dressing. Add diced jalapeños and cilantro for heat and flavor.

3. Herby Green Potato Salad:

  • Blend fresh herbs like dill, chives, and parsley into the dressing for an herby punch. Add cucumber and snap peas for crunch.

Whether you're vegan or just looking for a healthier potato salad option, this recipe will win you over. Its creamy texture, vibrant flavors, and wholesome ingredients make it a dish to savor. Try it today and enjoy the best of plant-based comfort food!

Description

This Vegan Potato Salad Bowl is a delightful plant-based take on a beloved classic. Featuring tender potatoes, fresh veggies, and a tangy, creamy dressing made without dairy or eggs, this dish is perfect for picnics, potlucks, or a light meal. Packed with flavor and nutrition, it’s a healthy and satisfying choice for vegans and non-vegans alike.

Ingredients
    For the Salad:
  • 4 medium potatoes (peeled and diced)
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes (halved)
  • 1 cup cucumber (diced)
  • 1 small red onion (finely chopped)
  • ½ cup sweet corn (cooked or canned, drained)
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley (chopped)
    • For the Dressing:
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)
Instructions
    Cook the Potatoes:

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the diced potatoes.

  2. Cook the potatoes for 8–10 minutes, or until fork-tender. Drain and let cool.

    3. Prepare the Dressing:

  3. Whisk together Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.

    4. Assemble the Salad:

  4. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled potatoes, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and sweet corn.

  5. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat. Sprinkle fresh parsley on top. 

  6. Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes for the flavors to meld.

Note
  • Choose the Right Potatoes: Waxy potatoes like Yukon Gold or red potatoes hold their shape well and have a creamy texture.
  • Cool the Potatoes: Letting the potatoes cool completely prevents the dressing from becoming runny.
  • Mix Gently: Toss the salad carefully to avoid mashing the potatoes.
