Whilst this is most definitely not an Albanian recipe, it often finds itself on the tables of many Albanians and is a delicious accompaniment to many local cuisines. It is also my partners absolute favourite so for that reason, here is a recipe for Russian Salad!
Ingredients
- 1 Cup Peas (shelled)
- 125 Gram Carrots (diced), peeled
- 125 Gram French beans (stringed and cut)
- 1 Large Potato (peeled and cubed), boiled
- 3 Cups Mayonnaise
- 1 Tbsp Salt
- 1 Tbsp Black pepper, powdered
- 1 Tbsp Mustard powder
Instructions
- Boil or steam the chopped vegetables, to bite like consistency, drain and chill.
- When cool, mix the sauce, salt, black pepper and mustard powder.
- Chill and serve.
Not exactly the most complicated of recipes but it is a good one to add to your repertoire. Perfect for summer BBQs, dinner parties where you have to ‘bring a dish’. If you want to jazz up the recipe a bit, you can add sweetcorn, pineapple, or even chicken to it as well.
