Moldovan and Muscovite Salat Olivye

Potato salad as Russian grandmothers intended. Kind of.

Cook Time 2 minutes
Course Salad
Cuisine Russian
Servings 4

Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups boiled potatoes peeled and cut into perfect little cubes about a quarter of an inch
  • 3 hard boiled eggs cubed into the same size as the potatoes (they will crumble)
  • ½ cup raw white onions cubed
  • 1 can peas drained
  • 1 cup mini pickles cubed, maybe semi-salted, maybe not
  • 1 cup of highly controversial boiled carrots cubed
  • mayonnaise and salt to taste

Instructions
 

  • Put the whole cubic/spherical pile of oddly chosen veggies in a large bowl and douse with mayonnaise and salt to desired creaminess and saltiness.
  • Watch out for the pickles creating an over-salted sensation, cautions the grandma that did not advise semi-salted pickles.
  • Enjoy!
