No Mayo Potato Salad

There are two ways to make a Vegan Potato Salad. One is to make your potato salad with vegan mayonnaise. The other is to make a potato salad that tastes delicious without any mayo at all! This recipe is an example of the latter.

There are lots of reasons why you might want to make a potato salad without mayonnaise (sometimes it’s nice to make it with creme fraiche). But, I hope to convince you that not all potato salads have to be creamy.

This recipe is packed full of flavour thanks to the fresh herbs, tart cornichons and peppery dressing served with a nutty crunch.

You might not expect to see ingredients like cornichons or hazelnuts in a potato salad but I promise you it’s worth breaking away from the norm.

Of course the stars of the salad are the potatoes. I highly recommend using Jersey Royals but if you can’t get hold of them any new potato will do.

Other baby potato varieties include baby red potatoes, fingerling potatoes (with a distinctive, long shape), Yukon golds and baby russets.
