Receta de ensaladilla rusa

Ingredientes

• 300 g mayonnaise (– homemade mayo or store-bought)
• 3 medium potatoes (– chopped into 2 cm cubes)
• 1 carrot (– chopped into 1 cm cubes)
• 1/2 cup fresh or frozen baby peas
• 1/4 cup pickled vegetables (– Italian giardiniera or chopped dill pickles, cut into 1 cm cubes)
• 200 g tuna in olive oil (– drained)
• 1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
• 1 tsp red wine vinegar
• 1 pinch salt
• 1 pinch freshly ground pepper
• 4 to 6 slices honey-glazed ham (– cut thick)

Preparación

1. 1

   Cook all the vegetables separately. You can do this in the microwave or by boiling them in salted water.

2. 2

   Once cooked, drain well and set aside to cool. Rinse the vegetables briefly under cold water to speed up cooling and help maintain their bright colours.

3. 3

   When the vegetables are completely cool, transfer them to a large bowl. Add the chopped pickles, tuna, extra virgin olive oil, vinegar, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined to make the Russian Salad base.

4. 4

   Mix in the mayonnaise until everything comes together into a smooth, creamy Russian Salad.

5. 5

   Spoon 1 to 2 tablespoons of the Russian Salad onto each slice of ham, then roll it up like a cannolo.

6. 6

   Serve cold or at room temperature.
