Potato & Egg Salad, Sweet & Sour Mayonnaise
Everyone's favorite
Image of Potato & Egg Salad: a quick microwave recipe provided with nutrition facts for a salad with a homemade sweet and sour dressing
[4 servings]    Cooking time: 15 minutes
 

3 medium potatoes (1 lb.)
1/2 cup carrots, julienne 2 inches long
1 cup onion, thinly sliced
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups lettuce salad mix, store-bought
2 eggs

< Sweet & Sour Mayonnaise >
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon sugar
2 teaspoon non hot mustard

< Garnish >
1 tablespoon parsley, finely chopped

1. Combine the <Sweet & Sour Mayonnaise> ingredients in a bowl and mix well. In a separate bowl, sprinkle the carrots and onion with the salt; and mix thoroughly with your fingers. Then squeeze the excess fluid out (the salt will draw out the moisture), and drain.

2. Put 1 teaspoon water per egg in a microwave egg-cooker and crack in the eggs. Cook on HIGH(1200W) for 1 minute or until the eggs are hard. Coarsely chop cooked eggs.

Place potatoes on bacon rack; leave the center open. Cook on HIGH(1200W) for 5 – 6 minutes or until a fork penetrates easily. Let them cool.

4. Peel the potatoes and mash them with fork in a bowl. Add the eggs, carrots, onions and lettuce. Mix in the <Sweet & Sour Mayonnaise>. Garnish with parsley.
