Dairy Free Ranch Chive Potato Salad

Total time1 hr 5 min

Prep time15 min

Cook time20 min

Tender baby potatoes get boiled just until fork-tender, then cooled on a sheet pan so their surface stays dry and ready to soak up flavor. The dressing comes together with garlic-infused olive oil, tangy apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, and a mix of dried dill and parsley for that classic herby ranch tang. Once tossed with crisp celery, scallion greens, and a generous handful of fresh chives, every bite gets a pop of color and crunch alongside the creamy coating. A scatter of fresh dill on top finishes it off with a bright, garden-fresh note. This one holds up beautifully in the fridge too, since the flavors only deepen after a day or two of chilling. It's an easy, crowd-pleasing side to bring to a potluck or serve alongside grilled favorites, and it fits neatly into a dairy free spread without missing a beat.

⅓ cup mayonnaise
1 tbsp garlic-infused olive oil
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 tsp dijon mustard
1 tsp dried dill
½ tsp dried parsley
¼ tsp black pepper
½ tsp salt

Instructions

1
Place the halved baby potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water by at least 1 inch. Add a generous pinch of salt and bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a steady simmer and cook until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork with no resistance, about 12–15 minutes.
2
Drain the potatoes in a colander and spread them in a single layer on a sheet pan or large plate to cool for 20–30 minutes, until no longer steaming. Do not rinse — the dry surface helps the dressing cling.
