Salate de Boef
In North America potato salad sits at the forefront of the all-American family classic.
I was delighted to discover that Romanian’s have something quite similar, but with a twist and added sprinkle or two to make it uniquely their own.
‘Boef Salate’ or ‘Salate de Boef’ is an easy take on a scrumptious potato salad that is prepared prominently for special events and occasions, such as Christmas and Easter.
Colorful arrays of vegetables make this salad a quality eye pleaser and an ideal piece on the table at any special family meal.
Salate de Boef
- ½ Kg or 6 carrots
- ½ Kg or 6 parsnips
- 1 piece of celery
- ½ Kg of potatoes
- 1 chicken breast (or the equivalent of beef)
- ½ onion
- 4 pickled cucumbers
- 1-½ cups of mayonnaise (or to desired taste/consistency)
1. Chop and boil carrots, parsnip, celery, potato, onion, pickles and chicken or beef together for 20 minutes.
2. Strain ingredients and mix with mayonnaise.
Also – My host always, always uses the broth from the boiled ingredients to make my favorite -a good ‘galuste’ (dumpling) soup!
