Nikki’s Vegan Potato Salad

serves 6-8

Ingredients:

3 pounds potatoes (Nikki uses Idaho, but Yukon would add a nice creaminess)

1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

1 cup vegan mayo (Nikki uses Hellman’s)

3/4 cup finely chopped red onion

1/4 cup finely chopped dill pickle

1 1/2 teaspoon freshly chopped dill

1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon celery salt

To Prepare:

Boil potatoes in salted water until soft but not mushy. While they boil, combine all ingredients to make the dressing. Once the potatoes have cooled, rough chop into bite sizes of your choice. Combine with dressing and enjoy! Good in the fridge for up to 5 days but there’s no chance it will last that long.
