Ingredients

Main Ingredients

3 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
2 hard-boiled eggs, chopped
1 cup cooked salmon, flaked
1 small cucumber, diced
1 small carrot, boiled and diced
1/4 cup green peas (cooked or canned)

Dressing

1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Salt and black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Garnish

Fresh dill or parsley (optional)

Instructions

Boil the potatoes until they are soft: drain and cool them.
In a large bowl, add the potatoes, chopped eggs, shredded salmon, cucumber, carrot, and peas.
For the dressing, in a separate small bowl, mix: mayonnaise, mustard, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
Pour over the salad ingredients and mix slightly until everything is coated.
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.
For serving, garnish with fresh dill or parsley, and enjoy!

Storage Tips

Store leftovers in an airtight container with a life of 3 days of storage in the refrigerator.
Do not freeze; the potatoes and the mayonnaise dressing don’t hold up so well.

Use as fillers for sandwich or wrap creation.
Beautify a plate with lettuce leaves for a party presentation.

Pro Tips & Variations

Swap salmon with canned tuna to opt for a budget version.
