Instructions
- Bring a pan of water and salt (for the potatoes) and a pan of water (for the eggs) to the boil.
- Peel and cut the potatoes into cubes. For the potatoes, first cut into rectangles, then into strips and then into cubes (take a little more potatoes, because you have more trimmings).
- Boil the potatoes in the boiling water for 4 minutes until al dente. Drain the potatoes and rinse until lukewarm, let them evaporate on a clean tea towel.
- Bring the eggs to the boil and cook for 6-7 minutes. Shock the eggs under cold water.
- Peel the apples, cut into cubes and sprinkle with 1 tbsp vinegar. Cut the gherkins into cubes.
- Peel and chop 2 red onions and cut the pickled meat into cubes.
- Cut the remaining gherkins (for the garnish) and spread them out like fans. Peel and cut the last red onion into thin rings.
- Beat a dressing of the mustard, 50 ml vinegar and olive oil and mix in 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise.
- Put the apples, potatoes, peas, chopped onions, pickled meat and cucumber cubes in a bowl. Add the dressing and possibly an extra lick of mayonnaise. Season with salt and pepper.
- Cover a large dish with lettuce leaves. Spoon the salad on top and cover with a layer of mayonnaise.
- Cut the eggs into wedges and place them on the salad, together with the red onion rings, pickle fans and slices of pickled meat. Grind some pepper over it.
