Polish Potato and Veggie Salad (Salatka Ziemniaczano-Jarzynowa) image

In Poland almost every household has their own recipe for salatka. This is my family's version (with the 'lower fat' tweaks by me.) This is a great make-ahead dish, as it tastes best the day after it's made, when all the flavors 'marry'. I hope you enjoy it. Smacznego!

Time 1h30m

Yield 4 cups, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 potatoes, medium-size, peeled and boiled
2 carrots, peeled and boiled
3 eggs, hard boiled
1/2 apple, peeled
2 dill pickles (from a brine, not from vinegar)
1 1/2 cups frozen green peas, defrosted
1/4 cup low-fat mayonnaise (I use Hellmann's 1/2 the fat mayo, made with Olive Oil)
1 tablespoon prepared mustard
2 tablespoons low-fat sour cream
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
salt and pepper
1/4 cup green onion (to garnish)

Steps:

  • Dice the potatoes, carrots, eggs, apple and pickles; mix gently in a large bowl.
  • Add the green peas to the bowl.
  • Add nutmeg and salt and pepper to taste.
  • In a smaller bowl combine mayonnaise, sour cream and mustard. Add to vegetables.
  • Mix all together thoroughly but gently (so it doesn't turn to mush). Adjust seasoning to taste. Garnish with chopped green onion.
  • Note: Sometimes, if the taste is a little too bland (depending how sweet or sour the apple is), you could add a teaspoon of lemon juice to the salad.
