ABOUT THE RECIPE:
Confetti Potato Salad is easy-to-prepare and a breeze to serve. With sweet pepper rings, baby potatoes, crunchy celery, and tangy olives, it’s a delicious twist on a family favorite.
Makes 8 servings
INGREDIENTS:
8 cups cubed red or white baby potatoes, cut in half if large, (leave peels on)
1¾ cups mini sweet red pepper rings (remove seeds and thinly slice before measuring)
1¼ cups diced celery, with leaves
½ cup minced green olives, with pimento
⅔ cup vegan mayonnaise
3 rounded tablespoons spicy brown or Dijon mustard
1 rounded teaspoon smoked paprika, plus more for garnish
¼ teaspoon salt
Several grinds of black pepper
INSTRUCTIONS:
Fit a steamer basket into a large pot with a tight-fitting lid. Add 2 to 3 inches of cold water, and then add the baby potatoes. Steam the potatoes for 16 to 20 minutes or until they are fork tender. Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a large, rimmed baking sheet and let cool for 15 minutes. Cover and refrigerate the potatoes for at least 30 minutes before assembling the salad (see Chef’s Note).
To assemble the salad, put the potatoes, pepper rings, celery, and olives into a large bowl and stir with a large spoon to combine.
To make the dressing, put the vegan mayonnaise, mustard, paprika, and salt in a small bowl and briskly whisk to combine. Pour the dressing over the potato mixture and stir to combine. Add several grinds of black pepper, to taste, and stir to combine.
Transfer the salad to a pretty serving bowl and sprinkle with more smoked paprika. Cover and refrigerate for 2 to 4 hours before serving.
Chef’s Note: If preferred, you may steam, cool, and refrigerate the potatoes up to 24 hours before preparing this recipe.
