• 4 medium Pickles
• 1 cup Cooked chicken breast
• 3 large Hard-boiled eggs
• 1 cup Mayonnaise
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Peel the potatoes and carrots. Cut them into small dice-sized cubes for uniform cooking.

Step 2

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the diced potatoes and carrots, and cook for about 10-12 minutes or until they are fork-tender but not mushy. Drain and let them cool completely.

Step 3

In a smaller pot, bring water to a boil and blanch the green peas for 2-3 minutes. Drain and cool them in cold water.

Step 4

Dice the pickles and cooked chicken breast into small cubes and set aside.

Step 5

Peel the hard-boiled eggs and dice them into small pieces.

Step 6

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled potatoes, carrots, and peas with the diced pickles, chicken, and eggs.

Step 7

Add the mayonnaise, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Gently stir everything together until the ingredients are well coated and evenly mixed. Adjust the seasoning to taste.

Step 8

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate the salad for at least 1-2 hours to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 9

Before serving, give the salad a gentle stir and garnish with additional chopped pickles or fresh herbs if desired.
