This No Mayo Vegan Potato Salad is packed with LOTS of herbs and an olive oil dressing that is tangy & delicious. The perfect summer side recipe!
I know "No Mayo" and "Vegan" in the same sentence may sound silly...because obviously vegan potato salad wouldn't have mayo. BUT it could definitely have vegan mayo (if you want a traditional potato salad recipe with vegan mayo, check out my other recipe, here).
But instead of vegan mayo, we are swapping it out with olive oil and LOTS of herbs. I'm talking chives, parsley, basil, dill. Fresh flavors all over the place. I mean, it's Summer, we need to use up our herb gardens, right?
Once the potatoes have boiled and cooled, you can assemble. Add the potatoes, dressing, red onion and herbs to a bowl. Toss to combine and place in the fridge.
Let the salad cool for at least 30 minutes - this will allow all of the flavors to come together and the potatoes to absorb some of the dressing.
TSV TIP: When you take the salad out of the fridge, take a taste. If you taste any bitterness, add a pinch of sugar and combine. That should do the trick!
This is another super simple recipe that you can make for all of your Summer parties. It is so light and bright...you may not want to go back to traditional potato salad.
