Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Potatoes
- 2 medium Carrots
- 4 large Eggs
- 250 grams Cooked chicken breast (or ham)
- 4 medium Pickles (or gherkins)
- 200 grams Canned peas
- 150 grams Mayonnaise
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Wash the potatoes and carrots thoroughly. Place them in a large pot, cover with cold water, and bring to a boil. Cook for 20-25 minutes or until tender but still firm. Remove from the pot and let cool completely.
While the vegetables are cooking, place the eggs in a medium pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Drain and cool under cold running water. Peel the eggs once cooled.
Dice the cooled potatoes, carrots, eggs, and chicken breast (or ham) into small, uniform cubes about 1 cm in size.
Chop the pickles into small cubes as well, ensuring they're about the same size as the other ingredients.
Drain the canned peas and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced potatoes, carrots, eggs, chicken (or ham), pickles, and peas.
Add the mayonnaise, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Gently mix everything together until evenly coated and well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Cover the salad and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve chilled as a side dish or a main course. Enjoy!
