Russian Salad

Today I’m going to share a recipe of a salad after a long time. This is a very rich and tasty salad which can be indulged once in a while. I made the salad vegetarian and used veg Mayo. You may also add boiled egg or boiled and shredded chicken to make it non vegetarian.In this salad the vegetables should be parboiled and not over cooked.

  3. Dont over cook the vegetables.
  4. Cool it a bit.
  5. Add salt, sugar, pepper powder, fresh cream,chopped pineapple.apples and mayo.
