Homemade potato salad recipe - simple, fresh and healthy

Estimated reading time: 4 minutes

Before this salad was in those white trays in the supermarket, and full of E numbers and sugars pressed by machines, this was a luxurious dish. You can hardly imagine that anymore. Somehow he's lost his glory a bit. And actually its taste too, because all those trays secretly taste the same. Can you never buy them again? Well, I think we have passed that station a bit, because I myself sometimes opt for the ready-made version. But I usually throw my ass against the manger, because making Russian salad is childishly easy. It will only take you some time because everything has to be cut very fine and small. I can also highly recommend this homemade Russian salad recipe!

Below is the list of ingredients of a factory hussar salad:

Ingredients: 50% potato, water, vegetable oil (turnip, sunflower), vegetable (carrot, pea), sugar, pickle, modified cornstarch, vinegar, 1,5% beef, silver onion, salt, free range ownerl, thickener (xanthan gum [E415], guar gum [E412]), preservative (benzoic acid [E210], sorbic acid [E200], potassium sorbate [E202], sodium nitrite [E250], sodium benzoate [E211]), starch (potato, wheat), food acid ( lactic acid [E270], citric acid [E330]), parsley, spices (including mustard, celery), lactose, extract (spices, carrot, beef, savoy cabbage, parsnip), dextrose, maltodextrin, natural flavors, yeast extract.
Of which added sugars 4.0g per 100 grams and of which added salt 0.99g per 100 grams (source: ingredients list of 1 salad from the supermarket)

Of course, I'm not writing this recipe and this blog to tell you never to buy a store-bought salad like this again. I would like to make you aware that cooking without packages and bags is very easy. You decide for yourself what you put in your body and therefore also how healthy that can be! Instead of choosing a ready-made salad, you can also make a delicious salad yourself with fresh ingredients that you like. Thousands of different combinations are possible, so you can always try something new.

All you need is a base of lettuce, kale, spinach, or something green; toppings such as vegetables, fruits, nuts, beans or cheese; a protein source such as chicken, tuna or tofu; and a dressing of your choice (or not). You can also use unconventional additions like hummus, pine nuts or avocado to make your salad even more interesting. Think outside the box and don't be afraid to try new combinations. This is how you make a salad that is not only tasty but also nutritious and filling.

Here you will find the complete recipe with all the ingredients you need. I hope you have fun preparing the dish below.
