Ingredients

• 3 medium Russet potatoes
• 2 medium Carrots
• 1 cup Frozen peas
• 4 small Pickles
• 1 small Cucumber
• 1 cup Plant-based deli slices or tofu
• 3 tablespoons Vegan mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon Mustard
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Wash and peel the potatoes and carrots. Cut them into evenly sized chunks to ensure uniform cooking.

Step 2

Place the potato and carrot chunks in a medium pot and cover them with water. Add a pinch of salt and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for about 15-20 minutes until fork-tender.

Step 3

While the potatoes and carrots are cooking, bring a small pot of water to a boil and blanch the frozen peas for 2-3 minutes, until bright green and tender. Drain and set aside to cool.

Step 4

Dice the pickles and cucumber into small, even cubes. Also, dice the plant-based deli slices or tofu into similar-sized chunks for texture consistency.

Step 5

Once cooked, drain the potatoes and carrots, and allow them to cool completely. Then dice them into small cubes.

Step 6

In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced potatoes, carrots, peas, pickles, cucumber, and plant-based deli slices or tofu.

Step 7

Add the vegan mayonnaise and mustard to the bowl. Mix gently to coat all ingredients evenly. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 8

Cover the salad and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld together.

Step 9

Before serving, give the salad a gentle stir and transfer to a serving dish. Enjoy your Vegan Traditional Russian Olivier Salad cold or at room temperature.
