STEEMIT CULINARY CHALLENGE #4 : SALADA RUSSA (OLIVIER SALAD ADAPTATION AND PHOTOS)
Olivier salad is a traditional dish from Russia and became popular in many other countries.
In it's original recipe are used diced potatoes, vegetables, eggs, and chicken (or ham) to which mayonnaise is incorporated.
Here, in Portugal, is very popular as a cold salad, and also takes diced potatoes, carrots, peas, green beans and mayonnaise. It can be served as an appetizer or main dish when you add some tuna or other kinds of fish.
My "Salada Russa" recipe it's tremendously good, simple to prepare and warm (good for these cold days). For me, this dish works like a "reset food" for my body (in those day's I don't add mayonnaise). It's a healthy and tasty salad, and now it's on Steemit Cullinary Challenge #4.
Hope you like it as much as I do!
Getting curious?? You'll see it's very easy!!

Bom apetite!!
P.S. - I like to eat this salad with a good rustic bread!!
I hope you like my new avatar - you helped inspire it with our intuition talks last night :))
So nice!! Feelin' flattered :))
... and so you should ;)
Que delícia!
É mesmo!! Também fazem no Brasil?? :)
Sim sim Liliana. Uma maravilha! Queria ver um dia você fazer a tradicional sardinha com batatas. :)
Eu não costumo fazer sardinhas assadas em casa, porque gosto delas no carvão e suja muito! Normalmente como no restaurante, é barato! Mas se um dia eu tiver condições, eu faço sim!! É um dos meus pratos favoritos! Top 5 :)
P.S. 2 - In summer you can put this salad into the fridge and serve it cold!! :)
This recipe is very similar to Nicoise Salad. It looks good....You serve it hot opposed to a cold salad though right?
Never ate Nicoise salad... In winter I rather prefer this one hot, during summer I let it cool :)
In summer I also uses another combination for a good salad (grain, tomato, tuna, egg, and onion).
