Mayo-Free Potato Salad Recipe

Mayo-Free Potato Salad Recipe

  • 9 large red potatoes
  • 2 dill pickles, chopped
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • 2 stalks celery, chopped
  • 3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
  • 2 tablespoons dill pickle juice
  • 2 teaspoons dried dill weed
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, or to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika, for garnish (optional)
  1. Place the potatoes into a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and allow to steam dry for a minute or two. Chill the potatoes in cold water, and chop into cubes when cool enough to handle.
  2. Transfer the potatoes into a large salad bowl, and toss lightly with dill pickles, green onions, celery, cilantro, dill pickle juice, dried dill, 1 teaspoon paprika, salt, and pepper. In a bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, and Dijon mustard, and pour the dressing over the potato mixture. Toss again to coat all ingredients with dressing. Sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon paprika.
