Ingredients for Russian Salad:

• 1 lettuce heart
• 8 ozs cooked potatoes
• 8 ozs cooked carrots
• 4 ozs cooked peas
• 4 ozs cooked green beans
• 1 large hard-boiled egg
• Slices of pickled cucumber or gherkins
• Plain mayonnaise (bought or made yourself)

Method for Russian Salad:

1. Wash lettuce and shake leaves dry.
2. Arrange in a salad bowl.
3. Cut potatoes and carrots into cubes and put into large bowl.
4. Add peas and beans to the bowl and mix well.
5. Combine with the mayonnaise – adding enough to coat the vegetables fairly thickly.
6. Pile on top of the lettuce and garnish with wedges of hard boiled egg and slices of pickled cucumber or gherkins.
