Spicy Vegetable Salad
Although the original recipe comes from Russia, the "Ensalada rusa" is known to every child in Spain today - usually with thick mayo. Here, on the other hand, the many roughage ingredients "bathe" in a light, protein-rich sauce. Tuna provides omega-3 fatty acids for the heart; eggs ensure satiety and an extra portion of protein.
The salad can be prepared very well: Just boil the potatoes and eggs the day before, mix the sauce and put everything in a cool place. Is time very short? Then do\'s like most Spaniards - the rule rather than the exception with their "Russian salad" is to prepare carrots, peas and beans from the freezer or can.

Preparation steps
Scrub potatoes thoroughly. Cook in a pot of boiling salted water until knife-tender, 20-30 minutes depending on size. Drain and let cool, then peel potatoes.
In a small pot, cook the eggs in boiling water for 8-9 minutes (hard boil), then drain and set aside.
Squeeze juice from lemon. Drain tuna and capers. Purée the tuna, capers, lemon juice, yogurt, sour cream and olive oil with a hand mixer until smooth. Season with salt and pepper and refrigerate.
Peel carrots, chop finely and blanch until crisp-tender in small pot of boiling salted water for 5-6 minutes, adding peas after 3 minutes. Remove vegetables with a skimmer and drain well.
Rinse green beans and cook until crisp-tender in the boiling salted water, about 8 minutes. Drain and set aside.
Peel onion and chop finely. Bring vinegar with two parts of water to a boil in small pot. Cook onion for 1 minute. Drain and set aside.
Cut the cooled potatoes into 1 cm (approximately 1/2-inch) cubes.
Mix all the prepared vegetables with the tuna sauce. Season with salt, pepper and lemon juice. Peel the eggs and halve or quarter. Serve salad immediately, topped with eggs.
