La Causa Rellena es una entrada fría fundamental en la gastronomía peruana. Su base es una masa suave y sabrosa hecha de papa amarilla prensada, aderezada con aceite, jugo de limón, ají amarillo y sal. Esta masa se moldea en capas, intercalando un relleno cremoso. En esta versión clásica, el relleno es una deliciosa ensalada de pollo deshilachado mezclado con una mayonesa casera y verduras finamente picadas (cebolla, ají amarillo, cebolla china) y huevo duro. Tradicionalmente, se incluye una capa intermedia de palta (aguacate) laminada o en puré, que aporta untuosidad y frescura. Se sirve fría, decorada a gusto.
