Insalata Russa
Italian-style Coleslaw
Ingredients
- 1 cup Green Peas
- 2 Medium Potatoes
- 2 Carrots
- 1 cup Pickled gherkins
- 2 cups Homemade Cauliflower Mayonnaise or regular mayonnaise for a non-vegan version
- 200-300 grams Doktorskaya Kolbasa, mortadella, cooked chicken, cooked beef or omit completely for a vegetarian/vegan version
Optional/Decorations
- 2 Hard-boiled eggs
- Sliced gherkins
- Carrot ribbons
- Black olives
Instructions
- Boil the potatoes and the carrots with the skin on until cooked-through. Peel and dice them and put aside.
- Cook the green peas either by giving them a quick boil or by microwaving them for a few minutes. It's very important that all the veg preserve their 'crunchiness'
- While the vegetables are cooling down, start preparing the meat. Dice the kolbasa or shred the chicken or beef. Skip this step of course for a vegan/vegetarian version: it will be just as delicious. Chop the gherkins.
- Once all ingredients have cooled down to room temperature, you can pour the Cauliflower mayonnaise (or regular mayonnaise if not vegan/vegetarian) and mix everything together. The mix should be creamy but firm.
- Pour the mix onto a serving plate, shape it and decorate it to your liking!
