Russian Salad Recipe
Russian Salad became widespread in Istanbul thanks to the restaurants opened by the White Russians who came to the city after the October Revolution of 1917, and during the Cold War years, its name was called "American Salad" for ideological reasons. In some countries it is still offered under the name of its creator, Olivier. This recipe, which you can create different salads by adding your existing ingredients to the basic ingredients and serve it as a cold appetizer or salad, is also very practical. Bon Appetit!
