Course: Salad
Servings: 2 people

Ingredients

  • 1 big potato
  • 1 carrot
  • ½ cup frozen peas
  • 1 tsp vinegar (rice vinegar or apple vinegar)
  • 100 gr smoked salmon
  • Greens like watercress or lettuce (optional but highly recomended)

Dressing

  • 1 tbsp mayo
  • 1 tsp mustard
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  • Cut the potato and the carrot into small pieces.
  • In a medium stockpot, boil water and add the vinegar (note 1). When the water is boiling, cook the potatoes and the carrots for about 15 minutes until fork-tender. Add the peas 5 minutes before the potatoes and carrot are cooked. Strain the veggies and let it cool. (note 2)
  • Prepare the dressing mixing all the ingredients until it’s homogeneous. Pour the dressing over the cooked veggies and mix well.
  • Place the greens as a base on a salad plate. Cover with the Russian salad and top with pieces of smoked salmon.

Notes

  1. This is a great trick to avoid that the potatoes get mushy and lose their firmness.
  2. The veggies must be completely drained. This way the dressing will remain creamy.
