Vegan Pickle Potato Salad
One of my summer food favorites is a classic vegan pickle potato salad that I have adapted over the years from the recipe I grew up with - my moms potato salad. Classic flavors, not a lot of extras to distract from that simplicity I love.
I add extra dill pickle flavor to mine, though. A tangy tasty crunch.
Of course, while we have had a string of record breaking high temperatures, today as I type this I am freezing and the heat is back on. The potato salad is still good, though.

Vegan Pickle Potato Salad
just like mom used to make - a picnic favorite gets a plant based update that tastes just like the original!
Ingredients
- 3 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
- 1 cube / 1 teaspoon vegetable bouillon
- ¾ cup cashew cream
- 1 tablespoon white vinegar
- 1 tablespoon yellow or Dijon mustard
- 3-4 large dill pickles, diced
- sea salt and black pepper
Instructions
- Place potatoes in large stock pot with the vegetable bouillon. Add enough water to completely cover potatoes and then some - an inch or two over.
- Bring potatoes to boil, reduce to simmer. Continue at a simmer for 10 - 15 minutes, until potatoes are just tender. Drain immediately and set aside to cool.
- When potatoes are cool, slice into small (half inch) cubes.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine cashew cream, vinegar, mustard, diced pickles, salt and pepper.
- Fold in potatoes, stirring gently to combine and coat completely.
- Cover and store in refrigerator. For best taste, enjoy within 3-4 days.

This looks great and Yukon Gold's are my favorite for potato salads!
Chrisy @ Homemade Hooplah says
1 - I've been making potato salad for years and it never once dawned on me to use vegetable broth. WHY?! I'll have to try this! and 2 - I love the vegan spin on this. I'm always scrambling for things to make my inlaws (who are vegan / vegetarian) so I'll have to file this one away for later!

I know I'd love this. The name alone got me. I have a pickle addiction. A pickle potato salad sounds divine to me! And I can't wait for summer either. I'm done with this hot / cold weather.
