Russian Salad

Hello friends and fellow foodies!!

Some days ago, looking at how popular the potato salad recipe had become, I realized that one of the most popular recipes in traditional contemporary Dominican cuisine had not been published yet: “Russian salad”!

Years ago, when I worked as exchange visitor for the YMCA of Greater New York, I made many friends, most of which I still stay in touch with (Thank God for Facebook!) Once, while chatting with a great Russian friend, the conversation ended in food (as almost all my conversations!) When I shared that there was a salad in my country called “Russian”, she quickly asked me to explain the ingredients and how it was made. I didn’t really expect what came after: The “Russian” salad is genuinely Russian. It is a common recipe in Russia. Go figure!

The Russian salad is very similar to a common potato salad. But some ingredients can make a great difference!

The ratio depends on your taste. Most people use a four to one potato to other ingredients ratio, but you don’t have to go that way!

Some people use a one to one potato to boiled eggs ratio and end up with a delicious egg salad that needs almost no mayonnaise as the yolk creams and largely compensates.

Other people (Me included) increase the beet ratio, which gives a sweet flavor to the salad, while adding color. Adjust to your taste!
