As summer heats up and outdoor gatherings return, here’s the perfect entry for July’s RPL Recipe Club: a bright, creamy vegan take on a potluck favorite—potato salad. This version is fresh, flavorful, and delightfully dairy-free.
Think tender potato chunks dressed in a tangy, tahini-and-vegan-yogurt dressing with plenty of fresh herbs—no overly heavy mayo, no odd additions, just clean, satisfying flavor.

July 2023 Recipe: Vegan Potato Salad!
Celebrate summer with the Vegan Potato Salad from Rainbow Plant Life. This recipe avoids soggy potatoes and heavy mayo, instead using a creamy tahini-and-vegan-yogurt dressing brightened by lemon, fresh dill, chives, and briny capers. The result is flavorful, satisfying, and ideal for picnics, barbecues, or potlucks.
The full blog post includes step-by-step instructions, tips for achieving perfectly tender potatoes, and suggestions for substitutions to suit your pantry and taste. The dressing combines tahini’s nuttiness with tangy vegan yogurt and lemon for a creamy, bright coating that won’t weigh you down.
