VEGETARIAN RUSSIAN SALAD(OLIVIER SALAD)- HOW TO MAKE RUSSIAN SALAD/OLIVIER SALAD(VEG VERSION)

Russian salad/Olivier salad is a yummy salad recipe having lot of vegetables. The name itself says the origin of this salad is Russia.  It is really a boon for the people who don’t like raw vegetables. Yes. In this recipe all the vegetables we used are boiled in water or steam cooked only. Additionally the mayonnaise and cream will give extraordinary taste to this salad.

Generally chicken or boiled eggs will be added in the actual Russian salad recipe. But for vegetarians, we can make it without those items and can enjoy this salad.

I have first tasted this salad in a restaurant in jubail and really loved it a lot. Whenever we are visiting that restaurant, we will order the vegetarian version (without chicken or eggs) of that salad. 

Ok now coming to the recipe.

• While mixing add very little salt only, because it already the vegetables have salt which we added while cooking.
