Vegan Potato Salad – Creamy and Tangy!

If you’ve ever been to a BBQ, and you probably have, then you’ve likely sampled the BBQ staple that is the potato salad!

Usually one of the favorites, it’s seldom that there’ll be any potato salad leftovers for the next day!

Being South African, we call a BBQ a ‘braai’. If you’ve ever been to South Africa then you know that the ‘braai’ is a HUGE part of the culture.

It’s usually based on cooking meat outdoors, but hey, you can have a hell of a BBQ (or braai) as a vegan too.

This vegan potato salad takes an old classic and makes it even better! And no one will even know it’s vegan (unless you tell them!).

Just get out those veggie burgers or veggie sausages, throw together this fabulous vegan potato salad and you’re a hit.

Warning: You will be invited to way more BBQs if you make this for friends, so be prepared for the social implications of this fabulous dish.

You will love this vegan potato salad, it is everything you ever want a potato salad to be! Creamy, tangy, perfectly flavored and deliciously textured!

And making it couldn’t be easier!

Peel and chop some potatoes, toss them in some olive oil and salt and pepper, get those roasting in the oven nicely and while that’s going on, you fry up some onion and garlic in a delicious marinade of soy sauce, maple syrup, dried rosemary and liquid smoke.

And then you throw together some vegan mayonnaise, dijon mustard, and white vinegar and whisk it together.

Add in the sticky onions and some chopped chives.

Add in your potatoes and gently fold it all in together and you have yourself the most divine vegan potato salad!
