Recipe for Russian salad

This is the classic recipe of Russian salad. The good thing about this salad is that the ingredients are of your choice. If you’re a vegetarian, you could not include the ham in your recipe, or if you don’t eat any of the ingredients, you might add something you’d like instead of it. This is a healthy recipe because almost all of the ingredients are vegetables. And, of course, very tasty.

 INGREDIENTS

300 g (10.58oz) potatoes
300 g (10.58oz) carrots
300 g (10.58oz) pickles
150 g (5.29oz) Canned peas
200g (8.81oz) yellow cheese
200g (8.81oz) ham
1 jar of mayonnaise
some salt, pepper

PREPARATION

1. First, boil the carrots and potatoes in a pot filled with water. When they’re done, pour the water from the pot and let them cool.

2. Start chopping the pickles, cheese and ham into small cubes. When cooled, also chop the potatoes and the carrots.

3. Put all of the ingredients in a large bowl, pour the mayonnaise over and mix them all together. Add some salt and pepper.

4. To serve, you might put the salad in a deep dish, or you might use small coffee cups to shape them for better aesthetics. You could use some beans or olives to decorate, or just put a small piece of parsley on the top. The salad is ready for eating.
