I never truly loved a potato salad, until I made this one. This potato salad recipe is a riff on classic French potato salads, which contain no mayo and lots of herbs. I opted for lemon juice instead of vinegar for a super fresh-tasting salad.
Unlike standard potato salads that are drenched in mayonnaise, this red potato salad is lightly creamy yet miraculously mayo-free. This potato salad recipe is special diet friendly, too. It’s vegan, egg-free, dairy-free and gluten-free for all to enjoy.
Can I go ahead and call it the perfect potluck potato salad?
This potato salad is for my fellow last-minute people. When you’re scrambling to make yourself look decent, trying to scrounge together a side dish worth sharing, and letting the dog out all at the same time… Potato salad to the rescue!
This recipe is surprisingly simple and quick to make. I hope this potato salad becomes your go-to potluck recipe, as well as a standard side dish at your dinner table. It goes great with burgers, sandwiches, and much more.
Potato Salad Tips
After some trial and error, I’ve discovered some key tips to making great potato salad.
- To make the best mayo-free potato salad, reserve some potato cooking water before draining the potatoes. Then, blend the herbs and olive oil with the starchy reserved water. You’ll end up with a creamy emulsification that infuses the potatoes with fresh flavor.
- Another trick is to slice your potatoes before boiling, rather than afterward. That way, the potatoes don’t break down into mush when you’re tossing the salad later. Plus, your potatoes cook faster this way (five minutes!). We can thank the experts at America’s Test Kitchen for this technique.
Please let me know how you like this potato salad in the comments! I love to hear from you.

This healthy potato salad recipe is full of fresh flavor. It’s mayo-free, easy to make, and sure to be a hit at your potluck! This salad is vegan, egg free and gluten free. Recipe yields 6 side servings.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds small red potatoes, scrubbed and sliced into ¼-inch thick rounds
- 1 tablespoon fine sea salt
- ¼ cup olive oil
- ⅓ cup lightly packed fresh flat-leaf parsley, roughly chopped, plus about 2 tablespoons more for garnish
- ⅓ cup roughly chopped green onions, plus about 2 tablespoons thinly sliced for garnish
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 2 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 3 stalks celery, chopped
Instructions
- In a large saucepan or Dutch oven combine sliced potatoes and salt. Cover with water by 1 inch. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low and cook until potatoes are easily pierced by a paring knife and pulled out with little resistance, about 5 to 6 minutes.
- Reserve ¼ cup cooking water, then drain. Transfer the potatoes to a large mixing bowl.
- In a small food processor or blender, combine the olive oil, ⅓ cup parsley, ⅓ cup green onions, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, garlic and freshly ground black pepper. Process until the herbs and garlic have been chopped into little pieces. Then, while running the food processor, pour in the reserved cooking water and process just until blended. (If you don’t have a food processor or blender, just finely chop the parsley and onions and whisk the dressing together until the oil is fully incorporated.)
- Drizzle the potatoes with the herbed olive oil mixture and gently mix to combine. (It will look like you’ve poured in too much dressing, but don’t worry, the potatoes will soak it up!) Let the potatoes rest for ten minutes, gently tossing every few minutes.
- Add the celery to the bowl, along with a couple tablespoons each of additional chopped parsley and green onions. Toss again. Season generously to taste with salt and pepper.
- Serve immediately, or cover and refrigerate until you’re ready to serve. This salad is best served within a few hours, but will keep in the refrigerator for about three days.
Notes
Recipe roughly adapted from America’s Test Kitchen’s The Complete Vegetarian Cookbook and The Sprouted Kitchen Bowl and Spoon.
Suggested equipment: I love my 11-cup Cuisinart food processor (affiliate link).
Vegetable enthusiast. Dog lover. I'm probably making a big mess in my Kansas City kitchen right now. 
Alyssa Ready
I expected to love this but I actually didn’t enjoy this recipe. It did not keep well at all, and even just the serving I had fresh just had a funky, off flavour.
Kate
I’m sorry to hear that! Thanks for your feedback, Alyssa.

Loved it! Big success with friends and family at a recent gathering.

Elizabeth Hancock
Great recipe Kathryne. I dislike mayonnaise so was happy to find this. I didn’t have parsley so I added dill and mint instead. Also for colour and nutrition I put in a kumera (if you are from New Zealand) otherwise known as sweet potato.
Thanks, Elizabeth

Eliana
Love this idea! Wondering how many red potatoes equal a pound? Also, if I make it the day before, will it be good to bring to a potluck the next night? Thanks so much!
ReaderRita
All potatoes are different sizes and densities, so I think it would be hard to gauge exactly how many equal a pound without weighing them. I think the best thing to do is to either invest in a kitchen scale (Amazon has good inexpensive ones and so does TJ Maxx or Marshalls), or weigh individual potatoes in the scale at the supermarket (They are hanging up in virtually every produce section) until you get the desired amount. (if you do this often enough, it also helps you develop an idea of what a pound feels like)
Plus, if you invest in a kitchen scale, you’ll have better baking success- weighing your ingredients works SO much better than going by volume!
Charlene Rountree
This is something new to try. I love potatoes and what’s great is that you don’t need a mayo! awesome! thanks a lot for sharing this!

I’m 69 years old with high blood pressure. The sodium content in this recipe is very high. It’s a very flavorful recipe, so I doubt that it would suffer from cutting the added salt to 1 tsp rather than the 2 Tb. specified.

I liked this fresh version of potato salad – one happy surprise was that I made too much of the sauce and used it on some salmon for my meal and it was perfect! Will be making the sauce again, potatoes or not!

I just threw away a huge bowl of this. It was terrible tasting. Way too much parsley. It was the only flavor we could taste I’m not sure if I did something wrong or what. I’m sorry for the bad review, but I was sincerely disappointed in this recipe.

Kate
I’m sorry you didn’t love it, Amy.

Sounds like a you problem

I’ve made this twice now for get-togethers, and it was well-received both times. In addition to the flavors and textures, I like the simple ingredients and straight-forward preparation. It works so well for my vegetarian and non-mayo friends. Win, win!

This was delicious! My go-to potato salad from now on. Thank you!

Jeri
I have a huge bag of russet potatoes I’m trying to use up. Would I ruin the recipe if I subbed the red potatoes with russet?
Thanks
Kate
Hey Jeri! I haven’t tried. I know Russets have more starch, but I think they’d work. If they’re large potatoes, you’ll want to quarter the rounds so they’re closer in size to what a red potato would be in diameter. I know Russets work great as potato wedges, breakfast potatoes and hash browns, if you’d like to give those a try!
Noelle
Loved the recipe! I love parsley so I used extra :) it’s delicious.
★★★★★
Jodie
I am looking for a non-mayo potato salad to make ahead for a crowd of 50. Do you have any suggestions on making this potato salad ahead of time – possibly the morning of the party? Should I wait to mix the dressing with the potatoes until we are ready to serve?
Kate
Hi Jodie! The potatoes soak up the dressing when they’re warm, so I would make it as directed and refrigerate it. Before serving, perhaps stir in some chopped fresh herbs (and salt to taste) to liven it up.

Good stuff. I did a few things different. Added dried parsley instead of fresh. Also used white onion instead of green. Included some yellow and red peppers too. Stay at home order makes you use what you have. I was impressed that I had enough to make this and we all liked it!

This is delicious! It’s bright, fresh, and I love the crunch of the celery. For any if the previous comments about it not tasting good or too grassy, my thought is they need to make sure to use a high quality light olive oil. Makes all the difference in dressings. Well done!

Julie Griffin
Just discovered you website and would love to try this recipe. My husband isn’t a big fan of parsley and was wondering if cilantro would be a good substitute. Thanks
Kate
Hi Julie! Sure, you could try cilantro or dill. I’m not entirely sure how much the overall flavor will be impacted. I typically associate cilantro’s flavor profile with Mexican food, so it’ll yield an atypical potato salad—would be great with tacos!

I have been searching the universe for a delicious non-mayo potato salad and this is it.
The herby, zesty dressing is incredibly fragrant and so tasty. I added double the dijon mustard for extra whatever. (I’m a dijon mustard fan) Another great thing about this salad is the pretty presentation. The yellowish/green tinted herbed dressing, along with the sprinkle of green garnish makes it look like it could enter a potato salad beauty pageant.
★★★★★
Virginia
This was delicious. I used russet potatoes. I peeled, sliced, and soaked them in cold water before cooking. I didn’t have a lot of parsley, so I added some celery leaves and chopped a little celery for the salad as well. Loved it, and will make it often!!!

I was looking for a healthy potato salad recipe without mayo and other junk, when I found this winner. Love all the fresh ingredients and how easy it is to put together. I made it with one russet potato and one sweet potato… my boyfriend and I loved it! The flavors all melded together and it was a great accompaniment for our little backyard barbecue. Thanks, Kate!
★★★★★
Gracie
This potato salad is SO delicious I can’t stop eating it. Of course my results were “off” from the original recipe because of what I had available to work with. I used Russet potatoes instead of red. I had cilantro in the fridge so I put that in with the parsley. I accidentally spilled some of the cooking water into the bowl so instead of 1/4 cup I ended up with closer to 3/4 cup.I served it with a dollop of sour cream and a spoonful of fresh chopped chives. I’m going to have to make this often. It is super creamy; a true comfort food.

Yum! What a great lighter (healthier?) take on potato salad. I only had one pound of potatoes so just halved everything. The sauce came together great in the food processor, all with common and fresh ingredients. I topped it with fresh dill. Came out perfect!

I’m glad you loved it, Julia!
Genevieve O'Sullivan
I’ve made this before and love it. I am wondering if the sauce can be made several days in advance or at least the day before without mixing in the potatoes?

Hi Genevieve! I’m not sure I would recommend it. This one does make great leftovers!
Jill
I’ll definitely put this in the rotation of summer recipes. Fresh, tasty and feels so much lighter than a mayo version. Great recipe!

Hi Lacy! Sorry for my delay. How did it end up turning out?
Lacy
It turned out GREAT. I added more Dijon mustard and added fresh dill in addition along with more salt/pepper. We have a friend who is known as “the cook” in the group…the authority. She asked ME for my recipe. So pat yourself on the back, lol. Can’t wait to make this again. So easy and so good!!
Kate
I love it! Thank you for sharing, Lacy!
Heather
Love this recipe. Tastes so fresh and light! Because the dressing is an emulsification, it does taste a bit creamy, but not in that heavy dripping-with-mayonnaise kind of way. I will be making this regularly. I used a mix of different colored fingerling potatoes, which worked nicely.
★★★★★

My husband and I love this recipe! The first time I made it I just dumped all the dressing ingredients onto the potatoes without blending before — big mistake! I’ve since blended with a food processor, and then w/an immersion blender. It turned out perfectly the last two times!
★★★★★
Andrea
Really liked it! Great alternative for a lighter, fresher tasting potato salad. I did add just a touch of sugar/sweetener to balance out some of the other flavors. Will definitley make again and want to try it out with veggies instead of potatoes (maybe parcooked cauliflower?)
★★★★
Kate
Thank you for sharing, Andrea! You will have to let me know if you try it with cauliflower. I’m curious!
Mel
I made this over the weekend for some festive holiday food. I know I can rely on you for recipes and this one didn’t disappoint. While the ingredient list is simple, I didn’t miss the mayo. Super yummy hot and cold! The only thing I’ll note is that this makes a ton! Probably more like 8 servings if you’re eating it alongside other dishes.
★★★★★
Taylor
My mom used to make a similar potato salad but with green beans added. I got a bunch of green beans from a farm share box the other day (along with parsley which is what originally brought me to this recipe) and it was delicious with the addition!
Also, I had to sub the lemon juice with apple cider vinegar but still so good.
★★★★★
Becca
I have had this recipe twice and love it! It will be a new go-to for me. Does “cover with water by one inch” mean an inch of water in the pot, or a full pot of water where the water rises an inch above the potatoes? I think it’s the second one, but then the potatoes start floating and I’m not sure if it’s an inch above or not! Haha.
★★★★★
Kate
Hi Becca! Great question. You will want to make sure you have an inch at the top. So, cover the potatoes with water so they are completely submerged with one inch of water at the top. Does this help?
Becca
Yes, thank you!
Natasha

This recipe is literally perfect. Whole family loved it. I will say I enjoyed it more the next day- and the day after- and the day after that- when the salad had been chilled and the flavors melded a bit more. It was divine!

Vicki Holt
Oh my gosh, this is THE BEST potato salad I’ve ever eaten and the calories are reasonable. I didn’t have red potatoes on hand, so used yellow fins. They aren’t as dramatic looking, but they taste fantastic. The only thing I changed was that I had a lot of homemade vegetable stock on hand, so I boiled the potatoes in the stock instead of water. Being in lockdown there are no parties to show this one off right now, so my neighbors down the street will be very happy to receive a portion.

I’ve cooked my potatoes and made dressing – should I keep them separate till right before serving?
Kate
Hi Tracy, What did you decide to do? Sorry for my delay. I would add it per the instructions so it has time to marinate some.
Tracy Penn Sweet
I kept the potatoes and dressing separate until about 1 1/2 hours before dinner – then I brought them both back to room temperature, then mixed them together, and then let it sit for an hour – it worked great and my family who aren’t mayo or potato salad fans really loved it! Thanks for all the great recipes!
★★★★★
Lisa B
Such a unique dish. This worked out great for us. I used less salt and only 2 celery stalks as my husband does not care for celery.
I would suggest making sure the olive oil is nice and fresh. Mine has a hint of an unpleasant aftertaste, and I think maybe the olive oil is old.

★★★★★
Elaine
Delicious! I added some dried dill I had on hand and it was great! Fresh dill would make an even better addition to complement the herbs. “Bite size slices” would help with the issue of different sizes of potatoes. We had big ones and halved the slices into half-moon shapes.

This is really good! I sprinkled it with some dill weed and a little bit of celery powder at the end for a little extra flavor. Note that I did not have any parsley so used cilantro instead (I find them interchangeable but others won’t I suspect). I do recommend adding dill weed if you like that flavor.

Note that I did not have any parsley so used cilantro instead (I find them interchangeable but others won’t I suspect). I recommend adding dill weed if you like that flavor. Also, to address others’ concerns, I prefer my potatoes in little cubes and triangles, rather than slices. Maybe the salad would keep longer if you used larger chunks rather than the thinner slices shown here? I also prefer to roast my potatoes in the oven (400 degrees for 20 min), so that was another change I made.

I’ve made this twice now and will definitely add this recipe to my cook book. I actually doubled the dressing quantities and made it the day before. On the day I first served it I cooked the stated weight of potatoes and used half the dressing leaving the remaining half to use a few days later when I cooked more potatoes. This made it very quick and easy to prepare on the day.

Wonderful, Sharyn!

The red rims add beauty, and this is my opportunity to use the slicer on the Breville slice and dice food processor – gee, only boil for five minutes – I’m sold. I do love mayo, but if you say it is still creamy – well maybe I’ll add just a tad mayo… :-)

Teresa Dowding
Love mayo free potato recipes and especially with lemon. Potato and lemon goes so well together. I have made this with various herbs but rosemary would be my favourite. Don’t go overboard on the rosemary and in my experience it doesn’t chop well in a blender. So you need to chop finely with a good sharp cleaver style knife. You want about two to three tablespoons finely chopped fresh rosemary. Don’t both with dried herbs, salads demand fresh herbs! Btw, to the person who complained of a funky smell…none of the above ingredients should give off that kind of smell so maybe the oil or dijon were past their prime.

Kate
Hi Cindy, it sounds interesting on macaroni but I’m not sure without trying it. The starch of the potatoes does do something magical here.
