Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium Potatoes
- 2 medium Carrots
- 4 small Pickled cucumbers
- 1 cup Frozen green peas
- 4 large Hard-boiled eggs
- 1 small Red onion
- 1 cup Canned white beans (drained and rinsed)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
- 1 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Mustard
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Wash the potatoes and carrots thoroughly. Place them in a medium pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for about 15-20 minutes or until fork-tender. Allow to cool completely, then peel and dice into small cubes.
While the potatoes and carrots are cooking, hard-boil the eggs by placing them in a pot of cold water. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 9-10 minutes. Cool them under cold running water, peel, and chop into small pieces.
Cook the frozen green peas according to package instructions (usually by boiling them in salted water for 2-3 minutes), then drain and allow to cool.
Dice the pickled cucumbers and red onion into small cubes. Finely chop the fresh dill.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced potatoes, carrots, pickled cucumbers, cooked peas, chopped beans, eggs, and red onion.
In a smaller bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, mustard, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
Add the mayonnaise dressing to the large mixing bowl and gently stir to coat all the ingredients evenly.
Sprinkle the chopped dill on top and give a final gentle mix.
Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to let the flavors meld together.
Serve chilled as a side dish or a standalone meal. Enjoy!
