A potato salad is always a must at any backyard party during the summer, but a potato salad with chives is even better. This vegan recipe delivers a tasty, yet healthy potato salad you can enjoy during the summer for any occasion, whether it’s for a weeknight dinner or an outdoor bbq.
To create this potato salad with chives recipe, you’ll need the vegan-friendly version of mayonnaise – Veganaise. This eggless mayo gives this potato salad with chives a creamy consistency and yummy mouthfeel.
The chives add that delicious onion flavor to the dish and make this potato salad stand out compared to other potato recipes like fries or mashed potatoes.
You can technically use any kind of potatoes you like for a potato salad, but we prefer red-skinned potatoes because of their petite size and advantageous nature for boiling. Red potatoes also tend to have less starch and more sugar, making them stickier and better for dishes like this potato salad with chives.
