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 POTATO SALAD (SALAT OLIVIER)



Russian Potato Salad (Salat Olivier) image

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.

  • 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.

Conclusion:
