Potato and Apple Salad


Ingredients:

3   large potatoes, diced bite size
1   Gala apple, diced bite size
5   stalks leeks
3   celery
1   cup mayonnaise of your choice
salt
calamansi
all purpose cream
evaporated milk

Process:

Blanch the leeks.

Cut the potatoes in quarters, and boil it. Leave the skin on.

Let the leeks and potato cool down and drain excess water. Remove the skin of the potatoes and cut it into bite size to help cool down faster.

Prepare the mayo dressing. Thin it out with evaporated milk, add salt and whisk it. If you desire less mayo taste add all purpose cream, or evaporated milk until you get the desired taste.

Mix all the ingredients together. 

Note: My sister doesn't like the strong mayo taste in her salad so I often thin it out with evaporated milk so she can eat too. This recipe is inspired from a local hotel in the Philippines Vivere Suites. It was served to us on a bed of lettuce without leeks and celery. However, at the  grocery store earlier I couldn't get the lettuce i wanted, so i used leeks and celery to replace the "veggie" taste of the lettuce.
