Preparation time: 15 minutes Cooking time: 30 minutes Total time: 45 minutes Servings: 4 Ingredients: - 4-5 medium potatoes (about 500g) - 2 eggs - 1 small white onion - 2 ripe tomatoes - Iceberg lettuce leaves (a few, for garnish) - 2-3 tablespoons of mayonnaise - A little vinegar (apple or balsamic) - Salt and pepper to taste Preparation: 1. Boiling the potatoes: Start by placing the potatoes in cold water, unpeeled, and add a teaspoon of salt. Boil them for 20-30 minutes until they become tender, but don’t leave them too long, so they don’t disintegrate. You can check if they are done by piercing them with a fork; if it goes in easily, they are perfect. 2. Boiling the eggs: In a separate pot, place the eggs to boil. Let them boil for 4-5 minutes to achieve hard-boiled eggs. Then, run them under cold water to stop the cooking process and make them easier to peel. 3. Preparing the ingredients: When the potatoes have cooled slightly, peel them and cut them into medium-sized cubes. The boiled eggs are cut into small cubes to blend easily into the salad. The white onion is finely chopped, and the tomatoes are sliced thinly. 4. Mixing: In a large bowl, add the diced potatoes, eggs, onion, and tomatoes. Gently mix to avoid crushing the potatoes. 5. Seasoning: Add salt and pepper to taste, vinegar, and mayonnaise. Carefully mix everything, ensuring that each ingredient is well coated with mayonnaise. 6. Serving: You can serve the salad warm or cold, depending on your preferences. If desired, you can add a few iceberg lettuce leaves to give the dish a fresh and crunchy appearance. Practical tips: - For an extra burst of flavor, you can add fresh herbs like parsley or dill, which pair perfectly with this salad. - For a healthier version, you can substitute the mayonnaise with Greek yogurt, which will provide a creamy texture and delicious taste. - If you enjoy stronger flavors, you can add a few crushed garlic cloves or a bit of mustard to the mayonnaise. Nutrition: This salad is an excellent source of vitamins and minerals. Potatoes provide complex carbohydrates, while eggs offer quality proteins. Tomatoes are rich in lycopene, a powerful antioxidant, and onions contain compounds with anti-inflammatory properties. Frequently asked questions: - Can the salad be made in advance? Yes, it can be prepared a few hours ahead and stored in the fridge. It can also be served the next day. - What other ingredients can I add? You can experiment with olives, corn, or avocado to create delicious variations of the recipe. - What can this salad be paired with?
