RUSSIAN POTATO SALAD (SALAT OLIVIER)
This very flexible salad is great with meats, on picnics, with all sorts of things. It is fine in the fridge for a few days. Vary the ingredients and seasonings to taste (and convenience). The finer the chopping, the more "gourmet" it is to Russians. The technique here is easy; it just takes a lot of chopping, so give yourself enough time.

Feel free to add the chicken back in, if you like!

- Use a variety of vegetables. This will add flavor, color, and texture to the salad.
- Don't overdress the salad. A little bit of dressing goes a long way.
- Chill the salad for at least an hour before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together.
