AUTHENTIC RUSSIAN SALAD 'OLIVYE'
This is a recipe my mom and grandmother use every time there's a family gathering or a special occasion. To make this a vegetarian dish just leave out the ham. Potatoes, carrots, and eggs do not have to be chilled completely after boiling. Dill can be substituted for parsley if desired.

RUSSIAN CHICKEN
This is fabulously easy and delicious!! My step-mother gave me the recipe from Maryland. The recipe calls for Creamy Russian dressing, well in MN we seem to only have plain Russian dressing. So I add 1/4-1/2 cup of light Mayo to the dressing mix to make it creamy. I have made it without the mayo and it definitely needs it if you cant find the creamy Russian dressing! Served best over Jasmine Rice!

RUSSIAN CHICKEN SALAD
My mother found this recipe in a Russian cookbook. It is a different take on chicken salad, but I find it very nice for lunch or supper. You make the ingredients very chunky so it is not really a sandwich chicken salad but more of a salad.
