Directions

  1. 1

    Cook the potatoes, carrots, and zucchini in salted water until tender (15-20 minutes). Cool completely.

  2. 2

    Bring a pot of water with a splash of white vinegar to a boil. Submerge the eggs for 10 minutes, then cool in an ice bath. Peel and slice into rounds.

  3. 3

    Cut the cooked vegetables into uniform cubes of about 0.4 inches.

  4. 4

    Finely dice the red onion.

  5. 5

    In a large salad bowl, combine the cubed potatoes, carrots, and zucchini.

  6. 6

    Gently add the egg slices and the red onion.

  7. 7

    Prepare the dressing by mixing the mayonnaise and mustard. Pour over the salad.

  8. 8

    Toss very gently with a spatula so as not to break the eggs.

  9. 9

    Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  10. 10

    Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley and cilantro. Dust with paprika.

  11. 11

    Serve well-chilled, either immediately or after resting in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

💡 Chef's Tip

Prepare your vegetables the day before and store them in the refrigerator separately. Add the mayonnaise just before serving to keep the salad crisp. Light variation: replace the mayonnaise with a mustard-white vinegar vinaigrette (2 tbsp mustard, 1 tbsp vinegar, 3 tbsp olive oil).
