Szałot | Traditional Salad From Silesian Voivodeship, Poland | TasteAtlas

Szałot

Szałot is a traditional salad in Silesian cuisine that is made with diced boiled potatoes, carrots, pickled cucumbers, peas, hard-boiled eggs, and either bacon, sausages, or brined herring. It is dressed with mayonnaise and seasoned with salt and pepper, with mustard being added as a flavor enhancer.


Szałot is very popular in Poland, especially in the historical region of its origin, Silesia. It is usually served cold or at room temperature with a few slices of bread on the side.
