Ingredients

Choose 1 meat from the list below, or skip the meat altogether:

1 cup diced ham

1 cup chopped crab meat (real deal or imitation)

1 cup diced poached chicken breast meat

1 cup diced bologna or mortadella sausage

4 large potatoes

2 large carrots

4 large garlic dill pickles

3 eggs

1 small can of green peas

1 small yellow onion

1 cup mayonnaise

1-2 tbsp yellow or brown mustard

Directions

Cook carrots and potatoes with skin until done but still firm enough to be diced. The secret is to add some salt to water, cover, and cook slowly, so that vegetables don't become mushy

Drain the water and let cool

Hard boil eggs

The trick is to cut everything in a very uniform way - small dice.

Peel carrots, eggs and potatoes

Chop all choppable ingredients, add mayo and mustard and mix well, taking care not to mash anything.

Add salt and fresh chopped parsley to taste, if desire

Chill for 1-2 hours before serving
