Method
Homemade Mayonnaise
Mix all the ingredients for the mayonnaise, except the oil, together in a food processor. Slowly add the oil while the machine is running. This mayonnaise will be very thick. Store in the refrigerator.
Salad
Steam or boil the potatoes until just soft. Cut into 5 mm dice.
Season with Seasoned Sea Salt.
Steam the diced carrots until just soft, add frozen peas and steam for another five minutes.
Season with Seasoned Sea Salt.
Toss all the vegetables together and leave to cool.
To Assemble the Salad
Add ± ⅔ cup (160 ml) of mayonnaise to the cold vegetables and stir through.
Spoon into 6 cm rings and press down firmly. Refrigerate.
Release the salads, from the rings on to a serving plate.
Garnish with violas or snipped chives
