Description

This hearty Vegan Potato Salad delivers a delicious combination of creamy, tangy, smoky, and savory flavors. Half of the tender potatoes are roughly mashed while the rest stay chunky, creating a wonderfully creamy texture with plenty of potato in every bite. Crisp celery, scallions, dill pickle, and crunchy plant-based bacon add layers of flavor and texture. 

A simple dressing of mayo, Dijon and yellow mustards, and garlic powder brings everything together with just the right amount of richness and zip. Serve it alongside burgers and sandwiches, bring it to a picnic or potluck, or add it to your next backyard cookout spread—this is classic comfort food made for sharing.

  1. Add the celery, pickle, onion, and prepared Smart Bacon.

  1. To make the dressing, combine the vegan mayo, both mustards, and garlic powder in a small bowl.
