Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Potatoes
- 2 medium Carrots
- 4 large Eggs
- 200 grams Cooked chicken breast or ham
- 3 medium Pickles
- 1 cup Frozen peas
- 2 stalks Green onion
- 1 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Wash the potatoes and carrots thoroughly. Place them in a large pot and cover them with water. Bring to a boil and cook for about 20-25 minutes, or until they can be easily pierced with a fork. Remove from water and let them cool completely.
Meanwhile, place the eggs in a separate pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook for 10 minutes to hard boil. Remove the eggs, place them in an ice bath for a few minutes to cool, then peel and set aside.
Cook the frozen peas according to the package instructions (typically by boiling for 3-5 minutes) and set them aside to cool.
Once the potatoes and carrots have cooled, peel them and dice them into small, uniform cubes. Similarly, dice the pickles and the cooked chicken breast or ham into bite-sized pieces.
Chop the green onions into small rounds, and finely dice the hard-boiled eggs.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced potatoes, carrots, eggs, chicken or ham, pickles, peas, and green onions.
Add the mayonnaise to the bowl and gently mix everything together until all ingredients are evenly coated. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate the salad for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve the salad chilled as a side dish or a main course. Garnish with additional green onions or fresh herbs if desired.
