Equipment
- Large mixing bowl
- Pot
Ingredients
- 2 medium carrots
- 3 medium gold potatoes
- 1/4 pound fresh green beans
- 1 cup peas fresh or canned
- 4 hard boiled eggs
- 1 can white Tuna or 1 cup chopped ham, bologna, or chicken
- 1/2 Onion red or white, or use green onion
- 2 teaspoons white vinegar
- salt
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup Green olives or black
- 1 Tablespoon fresh chopped parsley cilantro or dill
Instructions
- Peel and dice the carrots and potatoes into very small, pea-size pieces. Chop the beans as well.
- Add the potatoes and carrot to a pot and cover with water. Add a sprinkle of salt and bring to a boil. When water starts to boil, cook for about 6 minutes then add chopped green beans.
- Wait 2 more minutes then check if potatoes and carrots are tender. If not, wait a little longer but do not overcook as the veggies should remain slightly firm! Drain and set aside to cool completely.
- Chop the hard boiled eggs and onion into pea-size bites as well and add to a large mixing bowl.
- Add the cooled potatoes, carrots, beans, and remaining ingredients. Break the tuna up into pieces with a fork before adding.
- Garnish with fresh parsley.
- Taste and add more seasoning (mayo, sour cream, salt or pepper) if needed.
