Just want to share my "Yellow Salad" -
(sometimes it is also called "Pink Salad" - if you add the beets :)
The quantity of some ingredients are not specified - just balance all the ingredients. Okay?
Ingredients:
potatoes - cut into bite sizes (boiled, cooled, and cut)
1 pack of 100 grams of macaroni (boiled, drained, and cooled)
one apple - cut about the same size with potatoes
pineapple - drained, and cut about the same size with the potatoes
boiled and cut chicken (bite size pieces)
or
bacon blocks (bite sizes cut from a bacon block not bacon slices)
or
ham (buy the whole piece of ham, and cut them into blocks-bite sizes)
or
a combination of all of these
mayonnaise
a little sugar
a little salt
black pepper
Optional:
* The optional ingredients help you have different variations with the basic salad recipe. You can add them (1, 2, or more) at the different times you make the salad... for example, this time you will have one with raisins and cheese ... the next time, only beets... the next time, only walnuts...
(so many other variations, just imagine what you can add)- that is the beauty of the salad...
raisins (or cut prunes)
cheese - (any cheese cut into cubes)
beets - also cubed
finely cut onions or celery
walnuts
Procedure - very easy steps...
1. Prepare all the ingredients - boil, cool, drain, slice them and put them in the mixing bowl.
2. Blend them all together with mayonnaise, the amount will depend on how you want the salad.
Creamy or not so creamy.... you decide... :)
3. Put a little sugar and salt to taste.
4. If needed, add the black pepper to spice it up.
*The secret here is to mix all the ingredients - as if you are tossing them -
very lightly - use two salad spoons and lift the ingredients and mix them lightly so that the potatoes don't get mashed...
You can eat the salad right away, or chill it first - that again is your choice.
Be sure to keep this refrigerated.
