Potato, Egg And Pea Salad

This salad is very simple, just cooked potatoes, peas, carrots and eggs spiced with mayonnaise, lemon juice and sour cream dressing. Besides being healthy, tasty and easy to prepare, this salad is quite practical because it can be served hot and cold as well. I usually like to serve it as cold side dish for fish. Nice, simple and refreshing.
