2 large carrots, peeled and chopped
4 hard-boiled eggs, chopped

1 cup mayonnaise
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (secondary keyword)
1/2 cup cooked beets, diced (optional) (secondary keyword: remolacha)

Instructions

Boil the potatoes and carrots in salted water until tender but still firm. Drain and let cool completely.
In a separate pot, boil the eggs. Once cooled, peel and chop them into small pieces.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the potatoes, carrots, eggs, green peas, corn, red onion, and (if using) the beets.
In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise with apple cider vinegar. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Add the mayo mixture to the bowl and stir gently until all ingredients are well coated.
Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving for best flavor.
Serve your ensalada rusa cold, as a side or a main dish.

For a lighter version, mix the mayonnaise with Greek yogurt.
Add shredded chicken or tuna to make it a complete meal.
If you prefer a touch of sweetness, include diced apple.
For a more colorful finish, garnish with parsley or extra egg slices.
