This Vegan Potato Salad with Mustard Seed Dressing can be served warm or chilled, perfect for making ahead whether it be for potlucks and gatherings or midweek lunches.

A light and healthy way to serve up our favorite root vegetable, this is made with no mayo! A delicious side to rotisserie chicken or fish, or perfect on it’s own as a light and engirding lunch!

This is the time of year we all could use a break from all the holiday indulging – I know I can!  Yet, because of the chill and cold I find myself seeking heartier meals.

The challenge then becomes how to eat “hearty” and feel full and satisfied while eating healthy at the same time. Potatoes are my secret weapon, because on their own, they are actually loaded with nutrients and low in calories, and very filling! The problem is we love to load them up with butter and bacon and cheese. Which I admit is hard to resist sometimes – but for the sake of my heart health, I’m trying to cut back.

This week I partnered with The US Potato Board to create a fresh, light and healthy potato recipe for the new year. To me, this Vegan Potato Salad with Mustard Seed dressing fits the bill, while not compromising on flavor.

Cornichons (tiny little pickles) give it a texture and acid, and toasted caraway seeds give it a unique and earthy twist. Fresh baby arugula adds extra nutrients and antioxidants and of course a delicious peppery bite. The flavors marry surprisingly well!

If making this ahead, toss the arugula in right before serving!

The tiny potatoes are quickly blanched and then tossed with the other ingredients – so easy!
Right before serving toss in the arugula. If you don’t have whole caraway seeds, don’t fret, it’s good without, but they add the unexpected bite of surprise that elevates a dish.

Thank you so much for all your kind notes and emails regarding my post last week about my aging dad. It’s been an interesting journey…one that we all will have to take at some point.
It’s made so much more bearable by the support of friends and by the wise, heartfelt words from those of you who have walked this path before. Thank you truly.

  1. This salad tasted so very good and satisfying to me, even without using any oil it was delicious. I just want to make it over and over again!
    Thank you so much.






  2. Your recipes never disappoint!!⭐️
    I made half the amount, didn’t measure my ingredients and later determined I had more potatoes than I thought. Had to make more of the dressing (quick and easy). Forgot to toast the caraway seeds but still delicious! Thank you for sharing your recipes😋. Deborah M






  3. This was a surprising hit with the whole family. I skipped the caraway and arugula, and added good canned salmon which worked well with the mustard and dill pickles I used. I’d only suggest halving the green onions or using diced sweet onion. Thanks!
