POLISH VEGETABLE SALAD (JARZYNOWA SALATA)

Steps:

• Place parsnips, carrots, and eggs into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Cook until vegetables are tender and eggs are hard-boiled, about 6 minutes . Remove eggs from hot water, cool under cold running water, and peel. Drain vegetables and let cool until safe to handle.
• Place cooled eggs, parsnips, and carrots on a work surface. Chop into small pieces the size of peas, and transfer to a large bowl. Drain pickles of any excess juice and add to the bowl along with peas, onion, and apple. Add mayonnaise, mustard, pepper, and salt; stir thoroughly until everything is coated. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until flavors sink in, about 24 hours.

POLISH VEGETABLE SALAD (SALATKA JARZYNOWA )

Steps:

• 1. Have a big mixing bowl ready... you will be needing it to combine all the ingredients.
• 2. Boil carrots to medium-soft consistency. They should not be mushy, or they'll just mush up the whole dish and you'll get veggie mash instead of veggie salad. Drain, let cool, and chop into cubes, add to mixing bowl.
• 3. At the same time, boil your potatoes. Drain and let cool, then carefully chop them into cubes. Very important to let them cool before you chop them, otherwise the chopping will just make them fall apart. Add to mixing bowl.
• 4. Cube your eggs, onion (cube the onion into fine pieces... not too big), pickles, apple; add all to the bowl.
• 5. Add can of peas to the bowl. (Of course, you can boil your own, fresh peas from the pod, too!)
• 6. Chop up the parsley, add to bowl.
• 7. Salt and pepper your bowl of yumminess, then carefully mix with a big spoon (so as to not mash the veggies). Add the mayo, then mix some more, carefully.
• 8. Taste! Now you probably want more salt and pepper to to your taste (at this time, you also may decide you want more of a kick, so add more pickles / onions / apple), or you want it more savory (add more egg, maybe even a little garlic salt), maybe you want it more creamy, so add more mayo!
• 9. When mixed well and you are happy with the flavor so far, sprinkle chopped chives on top, cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 3 hours. When you are nice and hungry, take it out, eat it heartily with some good Polish bread (none of that fluffy white stuff for this dish), and some nice smoked ham or salmon, and you will have a great meal leaving you happy; guaraunteed!
