What Is Russian Salad
Russian Salad is a traditional Russian salad that contains potatoes, carrots, eggs, pickles, peas, and ham and is dressed with mayonnaise and fresh dill (or parsley).
Russian Salad is considered one of the healthiest salads. This is because it contains carrots, which are rich in beta-carotene and good for vision, and peas, which are a great source of protein and dietary fiber. It’s also full of vitamins and minerals.
Russian Salad Ingredients
- 6 potatoes, peeled
- 1 carrot (or more to taste)
- 4 whole eggs
- 6 large pickles, cut into cubes
- 1 (15 ounce) can of peas, drained
- ½ cup cubed fully cooked ham (or to taste)
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill (or to taste, optional)
- ½ cup mayonnaise (or to taste)
How To Make Russian Salad
- Fill a big pot with water and bring it to a boil. Add the peeled potatoes and let them boil for 5-10 minutes.
- Next, add the carrot and eggs, continuing to boil for another 10-15 minutes until the potatoes are soft.
- Drain the water and let everything cool for a bit. Cut the potatoes and carrots into small pieces. Remove the shells from the eggs and chop them up.
- In a big bowl, mix together the potatoes, carrots, eggs, pickles, peas, ham, and dill. Finally, add the mayonnaise and stir until everything is well-coated.
What Is Russian Salad Dressing
The dressing of Russian Salad is made from a combination of mayonnaise, fresh dill, and pickles, giving you a creamy and tangy flavor. However, if you’re looking for alternatives, you can use dressings such as ranch or vinaigrette.
For a simple option, just buy a bottle of ready-made Kraft Russian Salad Dressing from Walmart.
What To Serve With Russian Salad
Russian Salad is traditionally served as a side for BBQ chicken, grilled steaks, or roasted lamb. You can also eat it with fresh bread, crackers, or as a filling for sandwiches.
How Long Does Russian Salad Last
Cooked Russian Salad can last in the fridge for about 3-4 days. Simply ensure it’s stored in an airtight container, then place it in the fridge.
Can You Freeze Russian Salad
No, Russian Salad cannot be frozen. This is because it contains mayonnaise, which can separate and change texture when frozen and then thawed, affecting the overall taste and consistency of the salad.
