SALAD RUSSE - RUSSIAN SALAD RECIPE

Steps:

• If your beetroot is not already cooked, wash and dry it well and place it on a baking dish. Preheat the oven at 200 degrees Celsius/ 400 degrees Fahrenheit and bake the beetroot until soft, you should be able to easily prick it with a fork. This will take at least one hour or more depending on the size of your beetroot, keep checking.
• In the meantime, cook the potatoes until soft. Cook the carrots. Cook the eggs until hard as well. Leave everything to cool, the beetroot as well.
• When all the cooked vegetables and the eggs are cold, chop them into nice cubes or slices.
• Remove the stone of the olives and chop them roughly. In a small bowl combine the mayonnaise and the mustard, add some salt and pepper.
• Add the mayonnaise to the vegetables and mix carefully.
• Adjust the taste with salt and pepper again and sprinkle the salad with some chopped parsley.

• Gently add the eggs, and allow to boil 10 minutes.
• While the eggs cook, peel the potatoes and carrots under cold running water by rubbing them gently with your fingers. Rinse the peas under cold running water to cool.
• Once the eggs are cooked, drain them, and peel under cold running water.
• Neatly dice the potatoes, carrots, ham, eggs and cornichons to the same approximate (and rather small) size as the peas, aiming for uniformity. Gently toss them all together in a large bowl.
