Classic Russian Salad
And finally, the queen of cold salads herself, the Russian Salad. At this point, we could say it's as American as it is Russian, but did you know that it was actually invented by a French chef?
Lucien Olivier originally whipped up the recipe while working at a restaurant in Moscow in the 1800s. That's why it's sometimes referred to as an Olivier salad as opposed to a Russian salad.
Why not try this foolproof recipe? It takes less than 30 mins. and makes for the perfect side dish at a barbecue or gathering. Enjoy!
