Ingredients

• 4 medium Potatoes
• 2 medium Carrots
• 4 large Eggs
• 200 grams Cooked chicken breast or ham
• 3 medium Pickles
• 1 cup Frozen peas
• 2 stalks Green onion
• 1 cup Mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Wash the potatoes and carrots thoroughly. Place them in a large pot and cover them with water. Bring to a boil and cook for about 20-25 minutes, or until they can be easily pierced with a fork. Remove from water and let them cool completely.

Step 2

Meanwhile, place the eggs in a separate pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook for 10 minutes to hard boil. Remove the eggs, place them in an ice bath for a few minutes to cool, then peel and set aside.

Step 3

Cook the frozen peas according to the package instructions (typically by boiling for 3-5 minutes) and set them aside to cool.

Step 4

Once the potatoes and carrots have cooled, peel them and dice them into small, uniform cubes. Similarly, dice the pickles and the cooked chicken breast or ham into bite-sized pieces.

Step 5

Chop the green onions into small rounds, and finely dice the hard-boiled eggs.

Step 6

In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced potatoes, carrots, eggs, chicken or ham, pickles, peas, and green onions.

Step 7

Add the mayonnaise to the bowl and gently mix everything together until all ingredients are evenly coated. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 8

Cover the bowl and refrigerate the salad for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 9

Serve the salad chilled as a side dish or a main course. Garnish with additional green onions or fresh herbs if desired.
