Ingredients

• 500 grams Cauliflower florets
• 100 grams Carrots, diced
• 100 grams Frozen peas
• 2 large Eggs
• 150 grams Homemade or store-bought mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the cauliflower. Cut the cauliflower into small florets to mimic the size of diced potatoes.

Step 2

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the cauliflower florets and cook for about 5-7 minutes until tender but not mushy. Use a slotted spoon to remove them and transfer to a large bowl.

Step 3

In the same pot of water, add the diced carrots and cook for 5 minutes or until tender. Add the frozen peas for the last 2 minutes of cooking. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process.

Step 4

Place eggs in a small saucepan, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Once boiling, remove from heat, cover, and let sit for 10 minutes. Transfer eggs to a bowl of ice water to cool, then peel and chop them.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled cauliflower, carrots, peas, and chopped hard-boiled eggs.

Step 6

In a separate small bowl, mix the mayonnaise, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper until smooth.

Step 7

Pour the mayonnaise mixture over the vegetables and toss gently to coat everything evenly.

Step 8

Add the chopped parsley and mix once more.

Step 9

Cover and refrigerate the Maionese de Batata for at least an hour to allow the flavors to meld before serving cold.
