Legume Salad

This classical Swedish side dish works very well with cold cut meat, any type of ham or grilled chicken or turkey. It tends to be mostly used as part of buffets nowadays. The most important thing to remember about this recipe is that everything should be diced to about the size of the peas.

1 apple, peeled and cored
10cm of cucumber, peeled
1 large carrot, peeled
5 pickle slices
1dl green peas
2dl mayonnaise
salt
white pepper


Boil the carrot until it's soft, then let it get cold and dice it.

Dice the apple, cucumber and pickle slices.

Put all the diced things in a bowl together with the peas.

Flavor the mayonnaise with the salt and pepper then fold it into the vegetable mix.


Enjoy!
