How to make Pickle potato salad

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (fan 180°C).

2. Toss the potatoes and carrots with vegetable oil on a rimmed baking tray to coat evenly.

3. Sprinkle the vegetables with the spice rub and ½ teaspoon of salt. Roast for 25–30 minutes, until the vegetables are deeply browned, tender, and crisp on the outside.

4. Meanwhile, combine the onion, celery, vinegar, and the remaining 1 teaspoon of salt in a large bowl. Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes to allow the flavours to meld.

5. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, mayonnaise, and mustard until well combined. Add the chicken and set aside.

6. Add the pickles, parsley, and hot roasted potatoes and carrots to the bowl with the onion mixture, tossing gently to combine.

7. Carefully mix in the dressed chicken, just enough to distribute it throughout the salad.

8. To serve, transfer the mixture to a serving platter or divide it among individual plates.
