Smoked salmon salad

 Ingredients: *smoked salmon *onion *olives *boiled potatoes *salt, pepper

After boiling the potatoes, it is important to let them cool completely before peeling. This is an essential step because if you peel them while they are still hot, you can get burned, and their texture may deteriorate. Once they have cooled, carefully remove the skin using a sharp knife or simply with your hands if you prefer. Cut the potatoes into uniform cubes to ensure even cooking and mixing.

Next, prepare the onion. Choose a red or white onion, depending on your preferences, and slice it into thin scales. The onion adds a note of freshness and a slightly spicy flavor to the salad. If you want to reduce the intensity of the onion's taste, you can soak it in a bowl of cold water for 10-15 minutes, then drain it.

Olives are an ingredient that adds extra flavor. Choose green or black olives, depending on your preferences. Slice them into rounds so that each bite has their characteristic taste. They will add a salty note and a pleasant contrast to the sweetness of the potatoes.

Salmon is the star of this dish. You can use smoked salmon or fresh salmon, depending on your preferences. Cut it into wider strips to have a pleasant texture and a rich taste in each serving. The salmon pairs perfectly with the other ingredients, providing a healthy source of protein.

In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients: the cubed potatoes, the sliced onion, the olives, and the salmon. Add mayonnaise in moderation so that it does not overpower the other flavors but complements them. Season with salt and pepper to taste, being careful not to overdo it, as the salmon and olives already contain salt.

After mixing all the ingredients well, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for at least an hour. This resting time allows the flavors to blend and intensify, transforming the salad into a delicious dish.

When ready to serve, you can place it on a nice platter or portion it into individual bowls. This salad is perfect as an appetizer but can also be served as a main dish alongside a slice of fresh bread. Enjoy every bite and delight in the harmonious combination of ingredients!
