Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium Potatoes
- 2 medium Carrots
- 1 cup Green peas
- 4 medium Pickles
- 1 cup Cooked chicken breast
- 3 large Hard-boiled eggs
- 1 cup Mayonnaise
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Peel the potatoes and carrots. Cut them into small dice-sized cubes for uniform cooking.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the diced potatoes and carrots, and cook for about 10-12 minutes or until they are fork-tender but not mushy. Drain and let them cool completely.
In a smaller pot, bring water to a boil and blanch the green peas for 2-3 minutes. Drain and cool them in cold water.
Dice the pickles and cooked chicken breast into small cubes and set aside.
Peel the hard-boiled eggs and dice them into small pieces.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled potatoes, carrots, and peas with the diced pickles, chicken, and eggs.
Add the mayonnaise, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Gently stir everything together until the ingredients are well coated and evenly mixed. Adjust the seasoning to taste.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate the salad for at least 1-2 hours to allow the flavors to meld.
Before serving, give the salad a gentle stir and garnish with additional chopped pickles or fresh herbs if desired.
