SLC25-W2 // "Russian Salad"

Hello friends I am happy to share with us how I make my Russian salad, I'm happy for this challenge.

Russian Salad is a popular salad that we all eat but I didn't know it is called Russian salad, it is one of the popular dish in so many countries, I so much love eating it expercially it's creamy aspect and the delicious flavor that comes with it. I love adding fresh tomatoes and cucumber to my salad so that it can give me that refreshing taste.
For one to be able to make s good Russian salad you will need some ingredients which I will be mentioning.

✍️ potatoes
✍️ carrots
✍️ peas
✍️ Cucumber
✍️ Fresh tomatoes
✍️ mayonnaise
✍️ salt

###STEP 1

My first step was to wash all the ingredients with plenty of water , I use iron sponge to wash my carrots to remove sand and dirty.

Then I wash the potatoes and I dice into cubes shape, I put it in the pot, I added a little salt and boil for few minutes then bring down the pot, drain the water and I let it cool.

STEP2

It was time to boil my eggs, for my egg to come out very smooth, I put a pot on fire, add a little salt then I put my egg and I let it boil, when I noticed it was well cooked, I bring down the pot, drain out the hot water and I added plenty of cool water to it, I allow it to be totally cool, I peal off the shelves and I divided it into two, I dice one side and keep one side for dressing up the salad.

STEP 3

This section was for me to dice my vegetable, I dice my fresh tomatoes and cucumber, for the cucumber, I peal off the green part which is the back , I removed the seed or the cucumber and I dice it to the sizes which I love.

SECTION 4

THE DRESSING SECTION

This is the time to mix all the ingredients together, I started with the potatoes that was dice, then I added green beans.

I get a bowl that we occupy the salad then I use my mixer spoon to mix them together, then i added cucumber and I still mixed them. Then I added fresh tomatoes and carrots and mix together.

Then I added my dice egg to it before dressing it with mayonnaise.

I use mayonnaise to dress up the salad and I use the other half to decorate it.

At the end I took a selfie with my username and date on it.

I am Nigerian and we normally add white onions, bell pepper, cucumber and fresh tomatoes to Russian salad for extra texture and flavor, though there are some people that doesn't add all this ingredients.

My Russian salad has a very fresh and crunchy texture because I am using fresh vegetables and there is some kind of sweetness.

• Potatoes is not only delicious but I will say is a good source of potassium, fiber and vitamins C and B6.

• Carrots is one of the veggies that are high in vitamin A, which is very good for a healthy vision, it also help in boosting our immune system and it helps one to have a healthy skin.

Potatoes and carrots and are very good vegetables for human consumption and in some area is very affordable but this season in Nigeria is not really cheap.
