Brazilian Potato Salad

Step 1

Prepare the hard-boiled eggs and set aside so they can cool down.

Step 2

Prepare the vegetables--peel and cut the carrots and potatoes, and cut the green beans in small cubes. In a large pan, bring water with some salt to boil.

Step 3

You will eventually cook all the vegetables in this pan, but that has to happen in phases because they have different cooking times.

Step 4

First, add the carrots to boiling water over medium heat. After 3 minutes, place the potatoes and let it cook for about 5 minutes.

Step 5

After the 5 minutes have passed, add the green beans and cook for further 5 minutes.

Step 6

Once the vegetables are done, drain the water using a colander. Let cold water run through it until cool.

Step 7

In the meantime, gently mix the boiled eggs, onion, garlic, olives, and the mayo in a large mixing bowl. Add the cooled potatoes, carrots, and green beans to the bowl.

Step 8

Add salt and black pepper to taste. Garnish with fresh parsley leaves. Put it in the fridge for about an hour before serving it so it is nice and cold. Bom apetite!
