Vegan Summer Herb Potato Salad

Get ready for summer BBQ perfection with Vegan Summer Herb Potato Salad. Baby potatoes, zesty herbs, and a lemony dressing create a crave-worthy, mayo-free side dish that celebrates the season's flavors.

Vegan Summer Herb Potato Salad: A Taste of Sunshine for Your BBQ

Greetings, fellow lovers of sunshine, outdoor gatherings, and the pure joy of indulging in good food! As we dive into the heart of summer, there’s an unmistakable feeling in the air – the season of BBQs, picnics, and vibrant gatherings with friends and family is here! And what’s the star of the show at these gatherings? The food, of course! Today, I bring you the quintessential side dish that will steal the spotlight at all your summer BBQs – Vegan Summer Herb Potato Salad!

What you will need to make this NO MAYO Potato Salad:

  • BABY POTATOES: I used baby potatoes as the skin has a perfect texture for potato salad and holds up well after cooking and cooking. You can ofcourse use potatoes of choice. I think the baby potatoes work the best though 🙂 
  • ORGANIC SPRING MIX: I used an organic spring salad mix. Sun for any leafy greens. It gives such a bright freshness into a potato salad 
  • OLIVE OIL: as we are going NON MAYO on this one (my favey for sure!) olive oils will be our dressing base! Full of healthy fats it’s a great choice as a base. 
  • RED ONION: red onion give such a bright pop. Be sure to slice and dice very thin so as not to over powder. It’s such a strong taste and can overwhelm. I wouldn’t recommend using regular whit or brown onion as the flavor isn’t as delicate or sweet. 
  • FRESH LEMON: please use fresh lemon juice. It makes all the difference! So bright and tangy. It lifts the whole dish! 
  • DIJON MUSTARD: this will give your dressing the BANG it needs
  • FRESH HERBS: herbing it upppp in this dish! Dill screams summer freshness. Parsley is underrated but so necessary; and Basil – need I say more?

The Summer BBQ Vibe

Who can resist the allure of summer BBQs? The warmth of the sun, the joy of outdoor dining, and the laughter shared with loved ones – it’s a symphony of happiness. To make these moments even more memorable, I present to you a potato salad that is not just ridiculously CRAVEWORTHY but also a refreshing departure from the mayo-laden classics. This salad is light, zingy, and incredibly fresh, thanks to the secret ingredient of vibrant organic spring greens. These greens infuse the salad with a sense of lightness, complementing the herbaceous flavors and zesty dressing.

Cook the Potatoes

In a medium saucepan, place the baby potatoes and cover them with cold water by about 2 inches. Bring them to a boil over high heat, adding 1 tablespoon of kosher salt. Cook the potatoes until they are tender, which should take around 15-20 minutes, or until they are fork-tender. Once done, drain them well.

Create the Dressing

In a small bowl, whisk together all the dressing ingredients – olive oil, fresh lemon juice, Dijon mustard, finely chopped fresh dill, fresh basil, fresh parsley, minced garlic, pink Himalayan sea salt, and fresh ground black pepper. This dressing is where the magic happens, infusing the salad with zing and zest.

Combine and Chill

Place the drained potatoes in a large serving bowl. Gently mix the dressing into the potatoes, ensuring that every spud is coated with that luscious, herbaceous goodness. Cover the bowl and chill it in the refrigerator, allowing the flavors to mingle and dance together.

Serve with a Twist

When you’re ready to serve, add the organic spring mix to the potato salad. This step infuses a vibrant, fresh element to the dish. Toss it all together, transfer it to your serving bowls, and let the summer BBQ season begin!

So, my dear readers, embrace the spirit of summer, fire up the grill, and serve up this potato salad that embodies the season’s vibrancy.

May your BBQs be filled with laughter, your hearts with warmth, and your plates with delicious, nourishing creations. Here’s to a summer of good food, great company, and countless moments of pure happiness.
