Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes and Bacon
- 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, washed and cut into bite-sized chunks
- 6 slices smoked turkey bacon
Dressing
- 1 cup plant-based dairy mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (natural)
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar (natural)
- 1 pinch natural gelling agent
Vegetables and Herbs
- 2 stalks celery, diced
- 3 green onions, sliced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Seasoning
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prep and Cook the Potatoes: Wash and cut the Yukon Gold potatoes into bite-sized chunks. Boil them in salted water for 10 to 12 minutes until tender but still firm to the bite. Drain and let them cool slightly.
- Cook the Smoked Turkey Bacon: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the smoked turkey bacon until crispy. Chop into small pieces, reserving some for garnish.
- Prepare the Dressing: In a medium bowl, whisk together plant-based dairy mayonnaise, Dijon mustard (natural), apple cider vinegar (natural), and a pinch of natural gelling agent until smooth.
- Combine Salad Ingredients: Gently fold the cooled potatoes, chopped smoked turkey bacon, diced celery, sliced green onions, and chopped fresh parsley into the dressing. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the salad for at least one hour to allow flavors to meld. Garnish with reserved bacon bits and extra parsley before serving.
Notes
- Avoid overcooking potatoes to keep them firm and maintain their shape.
- Allow potatoes to cool slightly before mixing to prevent the dressing from thinning.
- Adjust apple cider vinegar and seasoning to balance acidity and flavor.
- Use minimal natural gelling agent to keep a creamy texture without being too thick.
- Make ahead for best flavor; chilling improves taste.
