Ensalada Rusa

This is the Spanish version of a Russian salad. Have done it twice now for parties and it is a success with or without the prawns. This amount is for 10 people.

4 boiled eggs
2 handfuls of frozen peas & carrots (I used just peas)
1 large tin of Tuna in oil
Mayonnaise (I used a low fat version)
salt & pepper
chopped chives (optional)
Prawns (optional)

1. Boil the potatoes until cooked, then drain and cool.
2. Cook the frozen vehgetables, drain and cool.
3. Chop the eggs reserving some slices for decoration.
4. Drain the tuna and flake into a large bowl.
5. Add the potatoes, vegetables and enough mayonnaise to mix.
6. Season with salt & pepper and gently mix in the eggs and prawns.
7. Add more mayonnaise if required.
7. Decorate with sliced egg and chopped chives.
8. Cool in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
