Sometimes I just want a different type of salad when I’m having a bbq (which is year round in California, just being honest here). Potato salad is always a hit in this house but I can never live up to my Mother In Law’s salad according to my husband. That’s totally cool, I don’t try to replicate, I just make something different.
And this potato salad is different. Bonus, you can leave it out at a picnic, no mayo! And not very much oil to make up for it. The consensus was “THIS ROCKS!” and leftovers got eaten even if it isn’t very photogenic. It’s a nice change from a creamy or oily potato salad with no oomph. The spices are to taste so if your family likes it a bit hotter, adjust your hot sauce and spices. It’s all up to you! I measured to give you a gauge and this was rated above the burgers among the meat eaters.
Spicy Vegan Potato Salad Recipe
Ingredients
- 4-5 medium red potatoes
- 1 dill pickle
- 1 shallot
- 1 stalk celery optional
- 1/2 green bell pepper optional
- 1 Tbsp spicy brown mustard
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 2 Tbsp vinegar
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1 Tbsp hot sauce
Instructions
- Cut potatoes into bite size pieces and boil until cooked through.
- Finely chop your pickle, celery, shallot and bell pepper, then set aside.
- In a bowl big enough to fit your potatoes and chopped veggies mix the oil, vinegar, spices, mustard and hot sauce. Spice it how you see fit.
- Drain the potatoes and pour them into the bowl with the oil and vinegar dressing you just prepared.
- Add your chopped veggies in the potato bowl and mix everything together with a spoon carefully so as not to mash up the potatoes
- Refrigerate for a few hours until chilled or overnight. Serve chilled.

Mmmmm….I love this spicy twist on potato salad!!!
This looks great! I’m not usually big on potato salad since I hate mayo, so I love that this uses mustard instead.
Yeah, I’d be all over YOUR potato salad at the BBQ.

Brown mustard, vinegar and garlic powder — I’m in love! Great recipe! 🙂
I can’t wait to try this! i THINK regular potato salads have way too much mayo so this is right up my alley!
This is exactly the kind of potato salad I love. Ones with mayo are way too heavy.

I love potato salad but hattttteeeee mayo with a fiery passion, so this is definitely a recipe I can get behind!!
This looks fantastic. I love the fact that there’s no mayo!!!
Definitely a perfect potato salad for a BBQ. Love that it is sans mayo and great for hot days outside.

Look awesome! I have been looking for vegan mayo to make potato salad, but this sounds much better!
Oh MY! This looks awesome! What a great way to change up the typical potato dish!
I love potato salad! And it can go any way you want – vegetarian, vegan, bacon-loaded! Whatever! What a fun theme we had this week! HUGS

Looks delicious, Shannon! We sail most weekends and bring picnic food so I am always on the lookout for dishes that won’t kill us if they sit out for a while. 🙂 Pinning this on my Recipes to Try board!
I love a good mustard potato salad. And I am SO jealous that you can have BBQ year round!
Sarah | Curious Cuisiniere recently posted…Zucchini and Mushroom Skillet Lasagna #SundaySupper
I LOVE this! Being able to leave it out at a picnic is such a plus, but also…smoked paprika? One of my fav flavors!

Love your twist on potato salad and I could easily finish off a bowlful 🙂 Love the spices!!
Now THIS would make me like potato salad!
Oh this recipe looks fantastic. I actually don’t like mayo so finding potatoes salad recipes that don’t use it. I am so looking forward to BBQ season here in the UK.
Potato salad is one of my favorite things! Sometimes I do get tired of the mayo version–what a nice change-up!
Anne @ Webicurean recently posted…Pasta Patate #SundaySupper
Okay, I’m definitely making this! I love potato salad and it’s just a really awesome bonus that this doesn’t have mayo. It’s the worst when you’re at a party and the potato salad goes bad. 🙁
