Hi everyone! Today I cooked this vegetable salad for dinner. This is probably one of my favourite "tapas" and if it's made with homemade mayonnaise, then there's nothing like it! In Spain this dish is known as "ensaladilla" and it is mainly consumed during the summer. I usually prepare this recipe the day before, as it has to chill for at least 4 hours or overnight. Potatoes and carrots are the base for this salad, however you can remove other ingredients such as tuna in case you don´t like fish.
Ingredients:
(Serves 4)
1 kg. potatoes
3 carrots
150 g. peas
1 tin of tuna or mackerel in olive oil
1 hard-boiled egg
Salt to taste
For the mayonnaise:
300 ml of olive oil (light in colour)
1 fresh egg
1 tablespoon of lemon juice
Salt to taste
Difficulty and cooking time:
Easy
45 minutes
Method:
Peel, wash and dice the potatoes and the carrots.
Place the diced potatoes, carrots, peas and the egg in a pot with salted water and bring it to the boil. Cook until tender (about 10 minutes)
Drain, refresh under cold water and leave to cool.
In the meantime place the fresh egg and the lemon juice in a mixing jug, add salt to taste and whisk using a blender. Slowly add the olive oil in a thin uniform stream.
Whisk for about one minute until the oil combines with the other ingredients.
Place the vegetables in a large bowl and add the mackerel.
Add half of the mayonnaise.
Mix all the ingredients thoroughly using a fork.
Cover with the rest of the mayonnaise. Decorate with grated hard-boiled egg and chill in the fridge for at least 4 hours.
Serve cold, decorated with carrot strips, chopped green olives and grated hard boiled egg.
I hope you like it!
See you soon,
María
