New Year Comes Early (Recipe - Olivier Salad)

It's clear that New Year is coming... my wife's is getting cravings for salad. Not the British-style soggy lettuce, but the full-on Russian salads. The urges could not be contained and she decided on Salat Olivier, so here's the recipe...

There appears to be a variation for every family, but we went for this, vegetarian version. If you've got your own variations to share, feel free to comment.
Ingredients: 
6 smallish potatoes
6 eggs
5 carrots
4 quorn fillets
1 tin of garden peas
6 spring onions
1 cucumber
350g sour cream
salt according to taste

you'll probably want to cut them smaller...

How:
1. Boil the peeled potatoes and carrots whole; boil the eggs; and defrost/heat the quorn fillets; leave them to cool.
2. Dice all the ingredients, including the cooled potatoes and carrots, but not the peas obviously - it's really hard to dice peas so leave them whole instead.
3. Put all the ingredients in a bowl; add salt; stir well.
4. Either add the sour cream to the big mix and stir well before serving or add the sour cream according to taste to the portions once served (which will make the mix last longer)

the mix in typically industrial-sized proportions

 
Variations/ ideas:
Our version is vegetarian, so for the meat option either use boiled chicken or beef or doktorskaya sausage (polony).
Fresh herbs to add to the mix or sprinkle on top
