Good one. But...I have to add to it :o) Real Russian salad, that we enjoy during celebrations (most of the time), includes: Potatoes, Carrot, boiled egg, sausage or kielbasa, pickle, peas(can's one the best), mayo and spoonful of yogurt(or sour cream) mix for dressing, salt and pepper for seasonings. Cut all ingredients in small cubes add mayo mix, and ta-da it's done. I looooove it... Good blog :o)
