La for successful corporate training (ingredients for 6 people) is easy to make and the basic ingredients are quite cheap.

Step One: Homemade Mayonnaise

  • The ingredients you need are: 2 egg yolks, 250 ml of seed oil, the filtered juice of half a lemon, a teaspoon of white vinegar, salt.
  • It's important that the oil and egg yolks (perfectly separated from the whites) are at room temperature. In a tall bowl, add the egg yolks, a pinch of salt, and, if you like, a sprinkling of ground white pepper. Then, add the vinegar.
  • Turn on the electric mixer and, patiently, add theoil in a thin stream while continuing to mix in the same direction.
  • Never add too much oil at a time, but always wait until the previous one has perfectly emulsified with the egg.
  • Only at the end, always continuing the movement with the mixer, add the lemon juice.
  • If you love the taste of olive oil, opt for a very delicate extra virgin olive oil; otherwise, the flavor of the Russian salad, especially as a side dish, will risk overpowering the other dishes. The best choice, however, is a high-quality seed oil, preferably peanut or sunflower.
  • Taste the mayonnaise ready and, if necessary, season with salt and pepper, then cover it with cling film and place it in a refrigerator.

The dressing

  • You need: 200 gr of carrots, 300 gr of peas frozen, 500 gr of potatoes and 50 g of cucumbers pickle.
  • After washing and peeling the potatoes and carrots, cut them into very small cubes, about the size of frozen peas.
  • Boil them in salted boiling water separately and respecting these cooking times so that they are crispy: from 7 to 10 minutes for the potatoes, 5 to 7 for the carrots; cook the peas according to the time indicated on the package.
  • Drain them vegetables Leave them in the colander until they've drained completely. Once they're lukewarm, transfer them to a bowl with the gherkins, which you've diced into the same size as the potatoes and carrots. Season with a little oil, half a tablespoon of vinegar, salt, and pepper.
  • Only when all the vegetables have cooled down can you create the perfect marriage of flavour between vegetables and mayonnaiseAll you have to do is keep the dish covered with cling film in the refrigerator for at least an hour so that it is pleasantly cold when you bring it to the table and with all the flavors perfectly combined.
