Print Recipe

A light, tangy, and creamy gluten-free potato salad using a dairy-free yogurt and mustard base instead of traditional mayo. Perfect for summer gatherings and those avoiding gluten or eggs.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds Yukon Gold or red potatoes, washed and cut into bite-sized chunks
  • 1/2 cup plain unsweetened dairy-free yogurt (coconut or almond-based works great)
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup
  • 1 stalk celery, finely chopped
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped (or 1 tablespoon dried dill)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)

Instructions

  1. Place the washed and cut potatoes into a large pot and cover with cold water by about an inch. Add a pinch of salt and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook until the potatoes are tender but not falling apart, about 12-15 minutes. Test by piercing with a fork.
  2. Drain the potatoes in a colander and let them cool for 10 minutes. Leaving them slightly warm helps them absorb the dressing better.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the dairy-free yogurt, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, honey or maple syrup, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  4. Add the cooled potatoes to the bowl with the dressing. Toss gently to coat all pieces evenly without breaking the potatoes. Fold in the chopped celery, green onions, and fresh dill.
  5. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving. Before serving, give it a gentle stir and adjust salt and pepper if needed.

Notes

Use Yukon Gold or red potatoes for best texture. Start potatoes in cold water for even cooking. Whisk dressing thoroughly to prevent separation. Toss potatoes gently to avoid mashing. Chill at least 1 hour for best flavor. Can substitute vegan mayo for yogurt for a creamier dressing. Add smoked paprika or hot sauce for a spicy kick.
