I love all things summer, especially this easy Creamy Vegan Potato Salad. Nothing goes better with my Grilled Portobello Mushroom Burgers with Smoky Chipotle Sauce and my Mesquite Grilled Corn on the Cob with Cilantro-Lime-Avocado Cashew Sauce. The three together make for one wicked barbecue.
If you’re like me, you don’t want to spend hours in the kitchen in the heat of summer. My Creamy Vegan Potato Salad is so easy to make, that’s what makes it especially appealing. And let’s not forget about the combination of flavors that go into this tasty potato salad recipe. Crispy celery, fresh orange bell pepper, red onion and a hint of dill are just the beginning. All of the ingredients are so fresh and tasty, it’s hard not to eat the entire bowl while you’re making it.
Potato salad recipes are easy to come by, but vegan potato salad is a little bit more tricky to get right. What I love the most about this recipe is that it has just the right amount of tart from the dill and sweet from the pickle relish. Combine that will a hint of acidic flavor from the red wine vinegar and you have a potato salad recipe that is a definite winner.
Whether you’re looking for a Creamy Vegan Potato Salad to take to your next barbecue or a special dish to share at your next office party, this vegan potato salad recipe will be a hit no matter where you take it. Or if you just want to serve it alongside your favorite meal during the week, it makes for an excellent side dish that will pair well with just about anything.
