Best Polish Vegetable Salad Salatka Recipes
POLISH VEGETABLE SALAD (SALATKA JARZYNOWA )
Delicious, creamy, traditional Polish vegetable salad. Some delis do make and sell it; the recipe varies from deli to deli, from household to household. Some like it crunchier, some like it with more of "this" or none of "that". This is a staple for the Polish Easter breakfast table. It tastes especially good on a plate with...

Steps:
- 1. Have a big mixing bowl ready... you will be needing it to combine all the ingredients.
- 2. Boil carrots to medium-soft consistency. They should not be mushy, or they'll just mush up the whole dish and you'll get veggie mash instead of veggie salad. Drain, let cool, and chop into cubes, add to mixing bowl.
- 3. At the same time, boil your potatoes. Drain and let cool, then carefully chop them into cubes. Very important to let them cool before you chop them, otherwise the chopping will just make them fall apart. Add to mixing bowl.
- 4. Cube your eggs, onion (cube the onion into fine pieces... not too big), pickles, apple; add all to the bowl.
- 5. Add can of peas to the bowl. (Of course, you can boil your own, fresh peas from the pod, too!)
- 6. Chop up the parsley, add to bowl.
- 7. Salt and pepper your bowl of yumminess, then carefully mix with a big spoon (so as to not mash the veggies). Add the mayo, then mix some more, carefully.
- 8. Taste! Now you probably want more salt and pepper to to your taste (at this time, you also may decide you want more of a kick, so add more pickles / onions / apple), or you want it more savory (add more egg, maybe even a little garlic salt), maybe you want it more creamy, so add more mayo!
- 9. When mixed well and you are happy with the flavor so far, sprinkle chopped chives on top, cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 3 hours. When you are nice and hungry, take it out, eat it heartily with some good Polish bread (none of that fluffy white stuff for this dish), and some nice smoked ham or salmon, and you will have a great meal leaving you happy; guaraunteed!
POLISH VEGETABLE SALAD (SALATKA)
This is a great alternative to potato salad or coleslaw, an unexpected combination of ingredients that create a depth of flavor that will please any palate! Even with some healthier modifications, it sill tastes just like the one my Polish grandmother used to make. Serve with Polish sausage and some rye bread for a delicious lunch. Garnish with paprika and serve cold. Enjoy!

Steps:
- Place celery root, parsnips, carrots, and potatoes in a saucepan; cover with water and add salt. Bring to a boil; cook until vegetables are fork-tender but still firm in the center, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove smaller pieces so they do not overcook. Drain and allow to cool until safe to handle, 5 to 7 minutes. Cut vegetables into 1/4-inch pieces.
- Combine cooked root vegetables, peas, eggs, pickles, in a large bowl. Add mayonnaise, yogurt, and mustard. Mix gently, taking care not to crush the peas. Season salad with salt and pepper.
- Refrigerate salad at least 8 hours to overnight.
