★★Final presentation★★
Russian salad is a very healthy food. This Russian salad is also made in our country (Bangladesh). However, in our country Bangladesh, different types of fruits such as apples, pineapples, pomegranates are used to make Russian salad. Some people use fresh cream in this salad. Sugar is used for those who like a little sweetness.To be honest, I made and tasted Russian salad for the first time today. I found its taste amazing. My whole family and I tasted the salad. After making it at night, when I took it out of the fridge in the morning and ate it, its taste improved even more. Adding coriander leaves added a nice aroma to it. I really enjoyed this salad.

Price of potatoes and carrots used in Russian salad in my country (Bangladesh), Steam price, USD price list
| Ingredients | BDT price | Steem price | USD |
|---|---|---|---|
| Potato (1 kg) | 25 taka | 1.64 | . 20 |
| Carrot( 1 kg) | 140 taka | 9.20 | 1.15 |
| Total | 165 | 10.85 | 1.35 |
Potatoes and carrots should not be overcooked. If they are overcooked, the crunchiness of the potatoes and carrots will decrease and the taste of the salad will decrease.
Using fresh potatoes, homemade mayonnaise, fresh carrots, and fresh coriander will enhance the taste and aroma of this salad.(rather than frozen vegetables)
Using a little pepper powder in the salad will add a little spiciness and aroma.
Adding a little salt while boiling eggs will help you peel the eggs faster and easy.
After boiling the vegetables, if they cool down, you can cut them into perfect pieces and there will be no chance of burning your hands.
