Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium Potatoes
- 2 medium Carrots
- 4 large Eggs
- 300 grams Chicken breast
- 3 small Pickles
- 150 grams Canned peas
- 200 grams Mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill (optional)
Instructions
Wash the potatoes and carrots thoroughly. Place them in a large pot, cover with water, and boil them until tender (20–25 minutes). Test doneness by piercing them with a fork. Once cooked, drain, let them cool, peel, and dice into small cubes.
Place the eggs in a saucepan, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Drain and transfer eggs to a bowl of cold water to cool. Peel the eggs and chop them into small pieces.
In a separate pot, boil the chicken breast until fully cooked (about 15–20 minutes). Remove from water and allow to cool. Dice the cooked chicken into small cubes.
Dice the pickles into small pieces, ensuring they are similar in size to the vegetables.
Drain the canned peas and set them aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced potatoes, carrots, eggs, chicken, pickles, and peas.
Add the mayonnaise, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Gently mix until all ingredients are evenly coated. If desired, fold in freshly chopped dill for added flavor.
Cover the salad and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve chilled as a main course or a hearty side dish, garnished with additional dill if desired.
