Description

The Russian salad is a classic cold side dish that adapts well to both meat and fish dishes: it can be part of a tasty aperitif, be served at a cocktail party or figure among the dishes of a buffet dinner.

It is a tasty culinary pastiche that since its invention has seen several changes in the list of ingredients. The most current version of the Russian salad certainly includes vegetables, hard-boiled eggs, potatoes and fresh peas. You can prepare the mayonnaise at home and for an even more refined dish replace it with tuna sauce, which adds a very particular taste. Here then is the complete recipe for the Russian salad with tuna sauce.

Procedure

1

To prepare the Russian salad, wash potatoes, carrots and peas under plenty of fresh water, then peel potatoes and carrots and cut them into cubes of about half a centimeter. At this point, steam the vegetables separately covering them with a lid: first the potatoes (7 minutes), then the carrots (5 minutes) and the shelled peas (10 minutes). Salt and pepper and set aside the hot vegetables.

2

In a pot of hot water, cook two eggs: when they are hard-boiled, peel them and cut them into wedges.

3

​To prepare the tuna sauce, follow our procedure. Finally, put all the vegetables in a large bowl, season them with the tuna sauce and add the wedges of hard-boiled egg and sliced cucumbers as garnish.
