Ingredients
- 2 lbs white potatoes peeled and chopped (900 g)
- ¾ cup celery chopped (170 g)
- ½ cup parsley finely chopped (15 g)
- ½ cup dill pickles chopped (77 g)
- 1 green bell pepper finely chopped
- 2 green onions finely chopped
- 1 tbsp mustard optional
- Radishes chopped (optional)
- ¾-1 cup vegan mayo
Instructions
- Place the peeled and cubed potatoes into a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and let them cook for 15 minutes.
- Once the potatoes are fork-tender, drain and let them cool.
- Meanwhile, prepare the rest of your ingredients.
- Make the cashew mayo by placing all ingredients in a high-speed blender and blend until smooth. Adjust to taste with salt and nutritional yeast; add more water if you want a thinner consistency.
- Add cooked potatoes, celery, parsley, pickles, bell pepper, and green onion to a large bowl.
- Top with your vegan mayo and mix until well combined with a large spoon. Adjust to taste with salt, lemon juice and mustard.
- Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate for at least an hour to allow the flavors to blend and taste even better!
Notes
- If you don’t like dill pickles, celery or bell peppers, you can go straight to a potato-and-onion-version instead or choose different veggies to add into your potato salad.
- To add a bit more zing, use some pickle juice to thin out the mayo.
- This vegan potato salad keeps in the fridge for up to 5 days but tastes best within the first 3-4 days.
- Feel free to use store-bought vegan mayo for this recipe.
