Russian Salad




Russian salad is an easy to make salad recipe and is quite popular. I love this salad very much. Whenever I see it being served in any party/weddings I always think of preparing this at home. But unfortunately it never happened. Yesterday only I finally made it as all the required ingredients were available at home.

I heard some one saying also that this is actually not the original Russian salad and its just an indian Russian salad. Fact is we have many other international dishes in our own indianised version. So as far as the taste matters, we foodies are always ready to experiment and give twists and turns to our food.
So here is the very simple recipe of this yummilicious salad...



Ingredients:

French Bean: 4-5 numbers chopped
Carrot: 1 medium sized peeled & chopped
Potato: 1 medium sized peeled & chopped
Peas: 1/4 cup
Apple: 1 small sized chopped
Pineapple: 3-4 slices chopped (I used the canned pineapple)
Mayonnaise: 2 tbsp.
Cream: 1 tbsp.
salt to taste
Black pepper: 1 tsp
Honey: 1 tsp (you can replace with sugar also)


Directions:

Pressure cook the chopped vegetables and the peas with some salt and keep aside (1 or 2 whistles should be enough). Chop the fruits almost of same size of the vegetables and keep aside.

Mix the fruits and vegetables in a bowl and keep aside.


In a mixing bowl, take the mayonnaise & cream and mix them well till they gets a smooth consistency, and not a runny one. Now into this sauce add all the cooked vegetables & fruits. Add some salt, black pepper powder and honey  & combine everything well.

Now your delicious salad is ready. Serve it chilled.
