• 8 cucumbers (gherkins)
• 300 g peas, from the can

Instructions

Working time approx. 20 minutes; Total time approx. 20 minutes

without mayonnaise

Boil the potatoes with their skins on in salted water with a little caraway seeds, drain, and let the steam cool briefly. Peel and quarter the apple, scoop out the core, then cut the apple into fairly small cubes and place in a large bowl. Peel the onion and dice it fairly small, then add it to the bowl. Drain the peas, reserving the liquid, and add the peas to the bowl with the apple and onion. Cut the gherkins into small slices and add them to the bowl. Top up the liquid from the peas with a little cucumber stock, add both types of oil, then stir in the salad dressing mix and sugar. Peel the potatoes, slice them, and add them to the bowl. Now pour the marinade over them and fold in carefully. The salad can be served straight away; it doesn’t need to be left to marinate, making it perfect for a spontaneous after-work barbecue.
