Russian Salad Recipe

Jump to Recipe
Total Time: 15 minutes

Many people take salads as a “dieting food” cliche, but I find it quite a comfort food and can eat a bowlful all by myself. Now mind it, not all salad recipes are equally health-conscious, some can come with a rich creamy dressing, like my Russian Salad recipe, which is among my all-time favorites for its refreshingly flavourful wholeness.

Russian Salad

 

Of course, I have health-conscious salads to offer too, such as my Sweet Corn Salad or Healthy Mixed Sprouts Vegetable Salad.

 This recipe hails from the Olivier Salad, which is now a traditional dish popular all across Russia. The original recipe can be dated back to the 1860s, created by Chef Lucien Olivier of Moscow’s legendary Ermitage Restaurant. This is originally a non-vegetarian salad, I am showing you my super easy and simple version of the Russian Salad Mints Recipe style.

  • When all vegetables and the potatoare equally blanched, then allow them to cool down completely before you addthe dressing. Also, let the excess moisture dry out. 
  • Once all vegetables are completely cool and dry, then transfer them in a mixing bowl. Now is the time to add dressing - add mayonnaise, use enough mayo to smother the vegetables completely. I am adding some whipped cream as well to double the delight quotient. Finally, add the pineapple crush and diced pineapple.

  • Now mix the vegetables with the dressing. Be very gentle while mixing so that the veggies don’t break and become halwa.

Notes

This salad is enjoyed best when the veggies are crunchy. The blanching is only to reduce the rawness of the veggies. The cooking process continues even after you remove the veggies from the flame. So make sure you don’t end up overcooking them. If you are in a hurry, you may transfer the blanched veggies directly into chilled water to stop the cooking process immediately.
