Ingredients
  

  • 5 red skin potatoes
  • 2 carrots
  • ½ cup peas canned, boiled
  • 12 pickled cucumbers more or less – it depends on their size;
  • 12 slices red bell peppers halves – it depends on their size; *
  • 2 Tbsps Dijon mustard
  • 3 Tbsps lemon juice
  • 3 Tbsps olive oil
  • sea salt to taste
  • ground pepper to taste
  • vegan low fat mayonnaise – for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Boil the unpeeled potatoes until tender.
  • In another pot, boil the carrots until ready.
  • Peel the boiled potatoes and chop them in small pieces. Chop the boiled carrot.
  • Chop the pickled cucumbers and bell peppers.
  • Place chopped veggies, corn and peas in a large bowl and set aside.
  • Place 1/3 of a boiled peeled potato in another jar – you’ll be using it to make the mayo. Mash the one third of the potato. Place it in a bowl and add olive oil, mustard, 3 tbsp lemon juice and 3 tbsp water. Mix ingredients very well. (skip this if you use mayonnaise).
  • Add the mayonnaise made in the steps above over the veggies in the bowl and mix well. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Garnish with low fat mayo (optional) and decorate as you please.

Notes

I don’t know the exact quantities for pickles; add as much as you like.. Also, save some for decorating the salad.
If you want you can replace the lemon’s juice, mustard and oil with store-bought mayo.
*I used an egg to decorate but you can use pickles or bell pepper if you’re vegan. The recipe is egg-free.
