Russian Salad

Yum-O. Its time to adventure up your palate. I am here with a magical recipe for a luxurious salad which had its origin from Russia. Also called as the Olivier Salad, it consists of diced veggies and fruits mixed with cream & mayonnaise with a dash of salt & pepper.

The mayonnaise is the magical ingredient here which lights up the flavours & gives them a contrasting effect. This salad is guaranteed to make a splash in parties too. You should surely give this a try.

The recipe for a bowl of this fanciful salad is as follows:

INGREDIENTS:

4-5 chopped French Beans
1/4 cup peas
1/2 cup diced pineapple
1/2 cup diced apple
1/4 cup diced carrots
1/2 cup frozen corn
1 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup cream
Salt to taste
Pepper to taste

HOW TO MAKE:

1)  Boil some water in a small bowl. Throw in the chopped french beans and the peas. Remove them from the boiling water once they are slightly softened. This step takes about 3-4 minutes. Drain them & keep aside.

2)  Mix all the fruits & vegetables in a fresh bowl and add the Mayonnaise, cream, salt & pepper. Mix well till the mayonnaise looks smooth.

3)  Chill and serve.
