Ingredients

4 cups potatoes, peeled and diced
2 cups carrots diced
2 cups fresh peas you can use canned, but I prefer frozen ones. Reserve 1/4 cup for garnish.
2 tablespoons onion finely chopped
2 cups green apple peeled and diced
4 cups chicken breasts cooked and finely shredded (about 2 chicken breasts)
Salt
2 cups mayonnaise
1/2 garlic clove puréed
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons brown sugar
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce

Instructions

In a steamer, cook the potatoes with a pinch of salt until they are soft but firm. Reserve.
In the same pot, steam the carrots with a pinch of salt until they are cooked but firm. Reserve.
In the same pot, cook frozen peas with a pinch of salt until they are soft but firm. Reserve.
Mix the potatoes, carrots, peas, onion, apples, and chicken in a large salad bowl, and carefully combine.
In a bowl, make the dressing by mixing well the mayo, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, sugar, and garlic, until it gets a creamy consistency.
Dress the salad and combine. Garnish with the reserved peas.
