Veg russian salad recipe with step by step photos. Russian salad is an easy to make salad recipe and is quite popular. i had this russian salad many times in Goan restaurants during my stay there. In goa, lot of tourist comes from russia and this salad is quite famous in the Goan beach restaurants.
There in goa, They also add boiled eggs in the russian salad. Whereas in this recipe, I have not added eggs and the salad is made from boiled vegetables and eggless mayonnaise. If you like then you can add boiled eggs to the salad.
Mayonnaise can be got from the grocery shops. It is easily available in the hypermarkets or supermarkets in India.
You can serve this russian salad with your regular meals or have it plain any time of the day when you are feeling little hungry. It is a good habit to include salads in the diet. Green veggies and fruits are important for the well being of the body.
Preparation for russian salad recipe
1. First rinse 1 medium sized carrot, 1 medium sized potato, ¼ cup french beans (chopped) and ½ cup green peas (matar) in water.
2. In a pan or pot add enough water and boil the carrot, potato, green peas and french beans. Then drain the water. You could also microwave them till they are completely cooked.
3. When the veggies are cooked, peel the potato and then chop them.
4. Also chop the boiled carrots and french beans. Alternatively, you can chop the veggies first and boil them later. I usually avoid doing the latter as when we chop the veggies and then boil them, some water- soluble vitamins and minerals are lost in the process. It is better to first boil them whole and then chop them. Measure and keep all the ingredients ready for making the veg russian salad.

Thankuu.. I ll make it tomorrow..
I made kadhai paneer today, it was good bt dont knw y i just felt something is missing.. Bt couldn’t understand what..
welcome heena. difficult to tell what was missing in kadai paneer. some time salt is less then you feel something is missing. because salt brings out the flavor of other ingredients.
Yeah dat was d reason.. I added more salt to d left over kadhai paneer n it was gud now 🙂
fine 🙂 this case is with most of the indian recipes. so whenever you feel that something is missing, add a bit of salt and you will see the flavors come through in the dish.
Thanku so much for d tip
welcome heena
