- 2 pounds baby potatoes (or small Yukon Gold), quartered
 
- ½ cup vegan mayonnaise
 
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
 
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

- Place potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water; season water with a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over high heat.
 
- Reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are fork-tender, about 15–20 minutes.
 
- Drain potatoes and let cool for 5 minutes.
 
- Meanwhile, whisk together vegan mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, dill, chives, salt, and pepper in a large bowl.
 
- Add red onion, celery, and capers to the dressing; stir to combine.
 
- Gently toss warm potatoes with the dressing until evenly coated.
 
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow flavors to meld; serve chilled or at room temperature.
 
		 
	 
	
		Notes
		
			
- Use baby potatoes for a creamy texture; Yukon Golds also work well.
 
- For extra tang, stir in 1–2 tablespoons pickle relish.
 
- Make ahead up to 24 hours for deeper flavor.
 
- Adjust vinegar and mustard to taste.
 
- Garnish with extra fresh herbs or paprika before serving.
