Summer Olivier salad

Ingredients

• cooked sausage – 200 g
• boiled jacket potatoes – 150 g
• cooked carrot – 100 g
• hard-boiled eggs – 150 g
• fresh cucumbers – 150 g
• spring onion – a few stems
• tinned peas – 100 g
• mayonnaise – 100 ml
• salt and pepper – to taste

Method

1. Step 1

   Boil potato, carrot and eggs until done, cool and peel.

   
2. Step 2

   Dice small. Start with the potato — the cubes clump; separate them with a spoon or your hands, then cut the rest.

   
3. Step 3

   Dress with mayonnaise. Homemade mayonnaise is in the video.

   
4. Step 4

   Season with salt and pepper and mix well.

5. Step 5

   Add cucumbers and herbs just before serving so they stay crisp.

6. Step 6

   For a large batch: keep the boiled vegetables and sausage in one box; add cucumber, herbs, peas and mayonnaise only at the table. The boiled mix keeps well chilled.
