Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung

Für noch mehr Geschmack bereiten Sie das Dressing im Voraus zu, damit sich die Aromen voll entfalten können. Achten Sie darauf, die Kartoffeln nicht zu lange zu kochen – sie sollten zart, aber nicht zerfallen sein. Gekochte Eier im Eiswasser baden, erleichtert das Schälen und hält das Eigelb besonders leuchtend.

Varianten und Anpassungen

Für zusätzlichen Biss können Sie fein gewürfelte Dillgurken oder knusprigen Bacon dazugeben. Wer es leichter mag, ersetzt die Hälfte der Mayonnaise durch griechischen Joghurt. Mit einem Spritzer Hot Sauce bekommt das Dressing eine angenehme Schärfe, perfekt für alle, die es würziger mögen.

Serviervorschläge

Kühlen Sie den Salat vor dem Servieren gut durch; dekorieren Sie ihn zum Schluss mit frischen Kräutern und einer Prise geräuchertem Paprika. Er passt wunderbar zu gegrilltem Gemüse, Brot oder als farbenfroher Beitrag bei jedem Festbuffet.
