A simple dish to prepare. There are many recipes for potato salad, as you can add a variety of ingredients besides the main one: meat, ham, vegetables, mushrooms, etc. There are also many options for dressings. I would like to share one of the simplest recipes for a salad with boiled eggs. The dish should be served chilled. It is perfect for lunch or dinner, as well as for an outdoor picnic. Serve cold.
