Easy Polish Vegetable Salad

 

What is Polish vegetable salad?

Polish vegetable salad (SaÅ‚atka jarzynowa)  is a typical cold-starter salad served during a lot of different events/holidays like weddings, Easter, Christmas, New Year’s Eve and much more. This famous Polish vegetable salad is very close to Russian/Ukrainian Olivier salad.

Ingredients for Polish Vegetable Salad

4 Carrots

1 Parsnip

2 Potatoes

1 Leek

4 Sour pickles

2 Hard-boiled eggs

1 Apple

1 can of Sweet peas

1 can of Sweet corn

4 tbsp Mayonnaise

Salt and pepper

How to make polish vegetable salad?

The steps are fairly easy, and the result is just fantastic. So we start with preparing the carrots, parsnip, and potatoes. Peel the carrots and parsnip and cook until tender. I choose to cook potatoes in a separate pot as I would like to make sure I do not over cook them. It is easier to control how hard these vegetables come out, too mushy is not okay, under-cooked is obviously bad.

Dice carrots, parsnip, potatoes, sour pickles, eggs and apples into small cubes, then add sweet corn and green peas.
