80 g mayonnaise
Salt, to taste
Ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions
Cook the Potatoes:
Boil potatoes in salted water over medium heat until tender (about 15–20 minutes). Drain, let cool, peel, and mash or finely grate.
Cook the Carrots:
Peel and chop carrots. Boil in lightly salted water for about 10 minutes until tender. Drain and let cool, then grate finely.
Prepare the Eggs:
Peel hard-boiled eggs. Separate yolks from whites. Finely grate both separately.
Prepare the Tuna:
Drain tuna well and flake with a fork.
Assemble the Layers (using a ring mold or small serving dish):
First layer: Potatoes (lightly seasoned with salt and pepper)
Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise
Add tuna
Sprinkle spring onion
Add carrots
Spread another thin layer of mayonnaise
Add grated egg whites
Finish with grated egg yolks on top
Chill:
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to help layers set.
Garnish & Serve:
Top with fresh parsley, chives, and a light sprinkle of black pepper. Serve chilled.
Notes
Use a food ring mold for a neat, layered presentation.
Lightly press each layer to keep the salad structured.
For extra flavor, add a small amount of Dijon mustard to the mayonnaise.
Best served chilled and can be prepared a few hours ahead.
Pairs beautifully with crusty bread or as part of a festive spread.
