Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium carrots
- 2 medium potatoes
- 1 cup green peas
- 1 cup, chopped pickles
- 1 cup, diced cooked chicken breast
- 1 cup Whole30 compliant mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh dill
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Start by peeling and dicing the carrots and potatoes into small, uniform cubes for even cooking.
Fill a pot with water and bring it to a boil. Add the diced potatoes and carrots. Cook for about 10 minutes or until fork-tender. Add the green peas in the last 3 minutes of cooking. Drain and let cool.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled potatoes, carrots, and peas with the diced chicken breast and chopped pickles.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the Whole30 compliant mayonnaise, dijon mustard, lemon juice, chopped dill, sea salt, and black pepper until smooth.
Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients and gently toss until everything is well coated.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the salad to an airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Before serving, give the salad a quick stir and adjust seasoning if needed. Enjoy your Whole30 Russian Salad as a side dish or a light main course.
