- 1 large Apple (peeled and finely diced)
- 150 grams Mayonnaise
- 2 teaspoons Mustard
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt

Directions
Step 1
Wash the potatoes thoroughly, then peel and cut them into bite-sized cubes. Place the potatoes in a pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Cook for about 10-12 minutes or until tender. Drain and let cool completely.
Step 2
In a separate pot of boiling water, cook the diced carrots and green peas for about 3-4 minutes until tender but not mushy. Drain and set aside to cool.
Step 3
If you haven't already cooked the beef, boil or braise the meat until tender. Once cooled, shred or dice the beef into small pieces.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled potatoes, shredded beef, cooked carrots, green peas, diced pickles, and diced apple. Gently toss everything together to combine.
Step 5
In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise, mustard, salt, and black pepper until smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Step 6
Pour the mayonnaise mixture over the salad ingredients in the large bowl. Gently mix until everything is evenly coated. Be careful not to mash the potatoes.
Step 7
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the salad chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 8
Before serving, transfer the salad to a serving dish and smooth the top for presentation. Garnish with sliced hard-boiled eggs, tomato slices, and sprinkle with chopped parsley.
Step 9
Serve cold as an appetizer, side dish, or part of a festive buffet. Enjoy your traditional Dutch Huzarensla!
