RUSSIAN SALAD
Source: Evelyn/Athens
Servings: 10

Greeks love 'Rossiki Salata', a yummy potato/vegetable salad. I'm sure you will too. Try making your own mayonnaise for this.

3 large potatoes, boiled al dente
2 carrots, cooked al dente
1 cup peas, cooked
1 cup corn, cooked
2 large beets, cooked al dente
1/4 cup small capers
8 gherkins, cut into small dice
2 cups mayonnaise

Cut all the vegetables into small dice (leave peas and corn whole).

Transfer everything to a large bowl and stir carefully to combine.

Adjust seasoning by adding salt and pepper to taste.

Put in a pretty bowl and spread over top with a thin layer of mayonnaise to'frost'.

Decorate with some cooked carrot strips and gherkin strips, making a sun-burst type pattern in the middle.
