Russian Salad/Ensalada Rusa
(1 votes, average: 5 out of 5)
Loading ...This popular salad, which has little to do with Russia, can be found in most parts of Spain. It is often served along with other tapas.
1 lb. medium potatoes, peeled, diced, and boiled
1/2 c. peeled, diced, and cooked carrots
1/2 c. cooked green peas
1/2 c. cooked green beans, cut into pieces salt and pepper, to taste
3/4 c. mayonnaise*
1 clove garlic, minced
sweet red bell pepper strips, to garnish
*To lower the fat content of this recipe,try substituting 1/4c. of mayonnaise with 1/4c. of nonfat yogurt. If you like the taste, you could substitute even more of the yogurt for the mayonnaise.
Step1
Combine all the vegetables except the red bell pepper in a salad bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Step2
Mix the mayonnaise with the garlic. Gently but thoroughly fold it into the vegetable mixture with a rubber spatula. Garnish with pepper strips.

If you like garlic, this is the perfect salad for you
I added a little bit more carrots that specified in the recepy, boiled them with the peas, beans and potatoes, and mixed them with half a cup of mayonnaise and half a cup of yogurt and two garlic cloves (I wish I would’ve sticked with only one, it was a little bit too much this way).
Looking forward to more “russian”/spanish foods. Yummy
Bon apetit, everyone!
