Time 5h32m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

10 oz shiitake mushroom, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon maple syrup
2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
¾ teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
½ teaspoon McCormick® Smoked Paprika
2 lb red potato, scrubbed, cut into 1/2 (1.2 cm) in pieces
¼ cup cold water, plus more as needed
1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more for boiling potatoes
¾ cup raw, unsalted cashews, soaked for 4-12 hours, drained
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 teaspoons maple syrup
2 cloves garlic
1 cup red onion, finely chopped
2 cups fresh vegetables, such as carrots, celery, zucchini, red bell peppers, sugar snap peas, and/or fennel
½ cup fresh parsley, plus more for garnish, minced
¼ cup fresh dill, plus more for garnish

Steps:

  • Make the mushroom bacon: Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a nonstick baking mat.
  • In a medium bowl, toss the mushrooms with the olive oil, maple syrup, soy sauce, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika until well coated. Spread the mushrooms in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake the mushrooms for 35-40 minutes until darkened and most of the moisture has been cooked out. Increase the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C) and bake for 10-12 minutes more, until the mushrooms are dried out, but still flexible.
  • Make the potato salad: Add the potatoes to a large pot and cover with cold water. Generously season the water with salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, 12-15 minutes. Drain the potatoes and transfer to a large bowl.
  • Make the dressing: In a high-powered blender combine the drained cashews, apple cider vinegar, maple syrup, garlic, and 1 teaspoon salt. Blend on high speed until coarsely chopped, then add ¼ cup cold water and continue blending until completely smooth, adding more water, 1 tablespoon at a time, if necessary.
  • While the potatoes are still somewhat warm, toss with ⅓ of the cashew dressing until well coated. Let sit for 5 minutes to cool slightly, then fold in the red onion, half of the mushroom bacon, the chopped vegetables, parsley, dill, and another ⅓ of the dressing.
  • Just before serving, toss with the remaining dressing and garnish with the remaining mushroom bacon, dill, and parsley.
  • Enjoy!

Tips for Making the Best Vegan Potato Salad

  • Choose the right potatoes. Waxy potatoes, such as Yukon Gold or fingerling potatoes, hold their shape better than starchy potatoes, such as Russet potatoes.
  • Cook the potatoes properly. The potatoes should be cooked until they are tender but not mushy. Overcooked potatoes will fall apart in the salad.
  • Cool the potatoes completely before assembling the salad. This will help to prevent the potato salad from becoming watery.
  • Use a good vegan mayonnaise. There are many different brands of vegan mayonnaise available, so be sure to choose one that you like the taste of.
  • Add your favorite mix-ins. The possibilities are endless! Some popular mix-ins for potato salad include celery, onion, hard-boiled eggs, pickles, and bacon bits. Adjusted the ingredients and amount of them based on your taste.

Conclusion

This vegan potato salad is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is packed with flavor and texture, and it is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So, what are you waiting for? Give this recipe a try today!
