Ingredients (serves 2)
- Potatoes, boiled400 g
- Egg (4 pcs, boiled)220 g
- Cucumber200 g
- Garden peas (frozen)100 g
- Natural yoghurt150 g
- Mustard10 g
Also: Dill, spring onions, salt, pepper
Method
- Get ready: if the potatoes aren't cooked yet, wash 400 g potatoes, put them in a pan with their skins on and cover with cold water. Put 4 eggs in another small pan and cover them with water too.
- Bring the potatoes to the boil over high heat and cook over medium heat for 20–25 min, until a knife slides in easily. Cook the eggs over medium heat for 10 min from when the water boils, until the yolks are fully hard.
- Cool the eggs in cold water. Pour boiling water over the peas (100 g), leave for 2–3 min and drain.
- Cool, peel and dice the potatoes. Peel the eggs, then dice them and the cucumber (200 g) into cubes of the same size.
- Dressing: mix the yoghurt (150 g) with the mustard (10 g), chopped dill and spring onions. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
- Put the potatoes, eggs, cucumber and peas in a bowl, pour over the dressing and mix gently. Chill in the fridge for 20–30 min – the salad is best cold.
Tips
- Boil the potatoes in their skins and peel them while still warm – they won't fall apart.
- Keeps for 2 days in the fridge.
- Want it hotter? A teaspoon of grated horseradish in the dressing.
- Want it lighter? Swap half the eggs for egg whites.
