Polish Potato and Veggie Salad (Salatka Ziemniaczano-Jarzynowa)
"In Poland almost every household has their own recipe for salatka. This is my family's version (with the 'lower fat' tweaks by me.)
This is a great make-ahead dish, as it tastes best the day after it's made, when all the flavors 'marry'. I hope you enjoy it. Smacznego!"

ingredients
- 2 potatoes, medium-size, peeled and boiled
- 2 carrots, peeled and boiled
- 3 eggs, hard boiled
- 1⁄2 apple, peeled
- 2 dill pickles (from a brine, not from vinegar)
- 1 1⁄2 cups frozen green peas, defrosted
- 1⁄4 cup low-fat mayonnaise (I use Hellmann's 1/2 the fat mayo, made with Olive Oil)
- 1 tablespoon prepared mustard
- 2 tablespoons low-fat sour cream
- 1⁄2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- salt and pepper
- 1⁄4 cup green onion (to garnish)
directions
- Dice the potatoes, carrots, eggs, apple and pickles; mix gently in a large bowl.
- Add the green peas to the bowl.
- Add nutmeg and salt and pepper to taste.
- In a smaller bowl combine mayonnaise, sour cream and mustard. Add to vegetables.
- Mix all together thoroughly but gently (so it doesn't turn to mush). Adjust seasoning to taste. Garnish with chopped green onion.
- Note: Sometimes, if the taste is a little too bland (depending how sweet or sour the apple is), you could add a teaspoon of lemon juice to the salad.

I LOVE this potato salad. First time I had it when my sister-in-law made it for a family get together. The apple gives it a nice twist. I also make mine with low fat mayo, but I still love the regular sour cream. My daughter uses Oikos Greek Organic Plain Yogurt in hers. Suburbangrandma
