Boiling the vegetables Start by washing the potatoes well under cold running water, leaving the skins on. Place them in a pot with cold water, adding a pinch of salt. Boil the potatoes for about 20-30 minutes, or until they are tender. Test with a knife; if it goes in easily, they are ready. After boiling, remove them from the water and let them cool. 2. Boiling the root vegetables Peel the carrots, parsley, and celery. Place them in a separate pot with salted water and boil for 15-20 minutes, until they become soft. Then, remove them and let them cool. 3. Preparing the pickled vegetables Meanwhile, chop the pickled cucumbers and bell peppers into small cubes. Place them in a sieve to drain well. This step is essential to avoid a watery salad. 4. Chopping the vegetables Once the vegetables have cooled, peel the boiled potatoes and chop them, along with the carrots, parsley, and celery, into small cubes. Add them to a large bowl. 5. Combining the ingredients Add the drained cucumbers and bell peppers to the bowl with the vegetables. Season with salt and pepper, then add 2-3 tablespoons of mustard and gently mix to combine the ingredients. 6. Preparing the mayonnaise In another bowl, mash the 2 potatoes and the 2 boiled celeries well. Add salt to taste. Start pouring the oil gradually, mixing continuously. Add the mustard and continue mixing until the mayonnaise becomes creamy. Finally, add the lemon juice for a fresh touch. 7. Assembling the salad Pour the mayonnaise over the vegetables in the bowl and carefully mix so as not to crush the ingredients. The salad is now ready! 8. Serving and decorating Place the salad in containers or on a large platter. Decorate with a vegan mayonnaise sauce, slices of olives, bell pepper, boiled carrot, and parsley leaves for an attractive presentation.
