Ingredients
- ¾ pound potatoes cooked ahead with the skin on
- 4 ounces ham
- 2 Tablespoons peas frozen and thawed
- 2 dill pickles diced
- 2 Tablespoons juice from a pickle jar
- 1 medium carrot peeled and diced
- ⅔ cup mayonnaise plain
- 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
- ½ teaspoon granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground pepper
Instructions
- Before you start cooking: Cook ¾ pound potatoes with the skin on and let them cool completely, ideally overnight. Let the 2 Tablespoons peas (frozen) thaw at room temperature. Peel 1 medium carrot and cook it briefly in boiling water for about 5 minutes, then cool it in cold water to stop the cooking process. This way, the carrots retain their beautiful color and remain slightly crunchy, not mushy.
- Peel the cooked potatoes and cube them. Finely chop 4 ounces ham, carrots, and 2 dill pickles, then transfer them to a mixing bowl. Add the thawed peas.
- Prepare the salad dressing: In a bowl, combine ⅔ cup mayonnaise, 2 Tablespoons juice from a pickle jar, 1 teaspoon yellow mustard, ½ teaspoon granulated sugar, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon ground pepper. Stir well until well combined.
- Pour the dressing over the prepared ingredients and mix everything together. Let it rest in the fridge for at least an hour before serving.

Notes
- SERVING:
- This recipe makes 2-3 portions as a snack, or enough salad for 12-15 open-faced sandwiches (Czech chlebíčky).
- SERVING: Vlašský salát tastes best with Czech Rohlík or Houska rolls as a snack. For a final touch, you can garnish the salad with a sprig of green parsley.
