Oriental salad - Romanian way of cooking

This is a recipe that I have learnt it in Romania from my grandma and my mother. It is very healthy and flavoured and very easy to prepare.

For ingredients you will need:
- 5 medium size potatoes
- 1 big red pepper or 2 medium
- 1 big onion
- 3 eggs. I recommend you to buy the eggs from vegetables market, where people from country side come and sell their products. In this way you will know the eggs have good quality and they are healthy for you.
- 100 grames olives (green, black, red it's your choice)
- 3 tablespoons of olive oil
- 2 tablespoons of mustard with seeds
- 1 lemon
- salt
- black pepper
- green parsley

How to prepare it:
- Wash potatoes because you will boil them without peeling.
- In a pan boil potatoes with a little bit of salt till they are cooked.
- In another pan boil the eggs till they become hard inside. Put a little bit of salt in that water also. (boil about 7 minutes)
Meanwhile prepare this:
- Cut the onion in small pieces
- Cut the red pepper in cubes or sticks (2 cm long)
- Take off the seeds from olives
- Cut the green parsley
After potatoes are boiled, peel them and cut them in cubes.
- Peel eggs and cut them in cubes also.
- In a bowl put all the ingredients that you already prepared: potatoes, eggs, red pepper, olives, olive oil, salt, pepper, mustard with seeds and mix all.
- Add the juice from half of lemon and mix all again. You can add more lemon if you want. It depends on everyone's taste.
- Decorate with green parsley.

Bon appetite!
