Ingredients
- 3 medium Potatoes
- 2 medium Carrots
- 4 large Eggs
- 300 grams Chicken breast
- 3 small Pickles
- 150 grams Canned peas
- 200 grams Mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Wash the potatoes and carrots thoroughly. Place them in a large pot, cover with water, and boil them until tender (20–25 minutes). Test doneness by piercing them with a fork. Once cooked, drain, let them cool, peel, and dice into small cubes.
Step 2
Place the eggs in a saucepan, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Drain and transfer eggs to a bowl of cold water to cool. Peel the eggs and chop them into small pieces.
Step 3
In a separate pot, boil the chicken breast until fully cooked (about 15–20 minutes). Remove from water and allow to cool. Dice the cooked chicken into small cubes.
Step 4
Dice the pickles into small pieces, ensuring they are similar in size to the vegetables.
Step 5
Drain the canned peas and set them aside.
Step 6
In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced potatoes, carrots, eggs, chicken, pickles, and peas.
Step 7
Add the mayonnaise, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Gently mix until all ingredients are evenly coated. If desired, fold in freshly chopped dill for added flavor.
Step 8
Cover the salad and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 9
Serve chilled as a main course or a hearty side dish, garnished with additional dill if desired.
