Here is the classic recipe of Russian salad. The good thing about the Russian salad is that the ingredients are of your choice. If you’re a vegetarian, you can exclude 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. Russian salad is a very healthy recipe because almost all of the ingredients needed are vegetables. And, of course, very tasty. So let’s go to Russia *wink*
