Russian Salad is also known as Olivier Salad. It's a common dish in European countries. It's basically a potato based salad with other ingredients. Normally vegetables and fruits are added, along with sour cream or mayonnaise. Boiled meat or fish can be added if preferred. Pasta is also added as a variation. There are probably hundreds of versions of this dish.
Here we present our version of Veg Russian Salad with pasta. Do try it out and let us know how it tasted.
- 75 g - Pasta (we used penne pasta) cooked al-dente (boiled fully and then ice water is poured to prevent further cooking due to heat)
- Apple - 1/2 peeled and cubed.
- Black/green grapes - 10-15, washed.
- Potatoes - 1/2 medium size. Boiled, peeled and cubed.
- Carrots - 1 small. Sliced in round/oval. Can be par-boiled if you don't want the crunchy texture.
- Baby corn - 1/2. Sliced round.

Seasoning:
- Oregano seasoning - 1/2 tsp or adjust.

Things to note:
- It's better if all ingredients are chilled in fridge for at least 1 hour as it tastes better when cold/chilled.
- Check if your mayonnaise is salty as it may change the overall taste.
