Russian Salad ingredients and preparation

RUSSIAN SALAD

The Russian salad is a classic in world cuisine. In each country it is prepared from a mandera, as well as in some countries they add beet, or corn, in others they put gherkin or avocado. It is without a doubt a recipe that has a wide range of possible ingredients. However, what all countries agree on is one thing: The most important thing to prepare a Russian salad is in your mayonnaise. If it's homemade, much better. To make our own Russian salad, we will need the following ingredients:

INGREDIENTS TO MAKE A SALAD FOR TWO PEOPLE:

FOR MAYONNAISE

• 1 egg
• 200ml of oil
• The juice of half a lemon
• FOR THE SALAD IN YES
• 1 medium potato
• 2 carrots
• 30g of peas
• 2 boiled eggs
• 50g of green olives
• 2 or 3 pickles
• 1 tuna fish
• 1/2 roasted red pepper
• Salt

ELABORATION OF THE RUSSIAN SALAD

1.- The most important step, prepare the homemade mayonnaise. To do this, put the egg in a beater and add a pinch of salt. You can substitute the egg for 100ml of milk. We add the 200ml of oil and bring the blender to the bottom, without turning it on yet. Once it is in the background, we give it cane and wait 10 seconds, without raising the blender at all. After the time, we will hear that the sound of the shake has changed and that little by little, it begins to bind. We can raise the blender a little bit, without stopping to give it a go and count another 5 minutes. After this time, the mayonnaise will be linked and we can raise and lower continuously, so that all the ingredients are finished. Finally add the juice of half a lemon and mix well

2.- Cook the potatoes in abundant water next to the carrots. 25 minutes. Peas, 10 minutes and eggs, another 10 minutes

3.- When these ingredients are cooked, we peel them and add them, well minced in a bowl. We also add the tuna fish, the chopped pickles, which will add a very interesting crispy touch, the pepper and the olives. All well chopped. Add the mayonnaise that we have just prepared and mix all the ingredients well.
