Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams potatoes
- 2 medium carrots
- 100 grams frozen peas
- 100 grams canned red bell peppers
- 50 grams green olives
- 100 grams canned artichoke hearts
- 150 grams mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Begin by peeling the potatoes and carrots, then cut them into small bite-sized cubes.
Place the potatoes and carrots into a medium saucepan, cover with water, and add a pinch of salt.
Bring to a boil and let simmer for about 10-12 minutes, or until the potatoes and carrots are just tender.
In the last 2 minutes of cooking the potatoes and carrots, add the frozen peas to the pot. Drain all vegetables and let them cool completely.
Meanwhile, chop the canned red bell peppers, green olives, and canned artichoke hearts into small pieces.
In a large bowl, combine the drained and cooled vegetables, chopped bell peppers, olives, and artichokes.
In a separate, smaller bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, white wine vinegar, extra virgin olive oil, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
Pour the dressing over the vegetable mixture and gently toss to coat all the ingredients thoroughly.
Finely chop the fresh parsley and sprinkle it over the salad, tossing again for even distribution.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate the salad for at least 1 hour, allowing the flavors to meld.
Serve chilled or at room temperature, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
