Mayonnaise Salad

Introduction

We are going to prepare a traditional Russian Salad taking advantage of the benefits offered by cooking the vegetables sous vide. We will cook at 85ºC to respect the taste of the vegetables and make the mayonnaise with the oil from the tuna to enrich the dish with its flavour.
