Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 3 pounds Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and sliced into 3/4 inch cubes
Dressing
- 1 cup vegan mayo
- 1/4 cup sweet pickle relish
- 1 teaspoon celery seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon jerk sauce
- 1 teaspoon salt
Vegetables
- 2 celery ribs, chopped
- 2 green onions, chopped
- 1 teaspoon dried dill
Instructions
- Boil the Potatoes: Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the peeled and cubed Yukon gold potatoes and cook for 10 to 15 minutes until tender when pierced with a fork. Drain the potatoes using a colander and set aside to cool.
- Prepare the Dressing: In a separate bowl, combine the vegan mayo, sweet pickle relish, celery seeds, and paprika. Mix thoroughly to create a smooth, flavorful mayo dressing. Set aside.
- Mix the Salad: Place the cooled potatoes in a large bowl. Add the chopped celery ribs, green onions, dried dill, and the prepared dressing. Season with salt and add the jerk sauce. Stir gently but well to evenly coat the potatoes and blend the flavors.
- Chill the Salad: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least one hour before serving. Chilling allows the flavors to develop fully, resulting in a refreshing and delicious dish.
Notes
- Use Yukon gold potatoes for their creamy texture and ability to hold shape after boiling.
- Adjust the amount of jerk sauce to control the spice level to your preference.
- Chilling the salad overnight will enhance the flavors even more.
- This salad is vegan and perfect for plant-based diets.
- Ensure potatoes are cooled completely before mixing with dressing to avoid breaking them down.
