RUSSIAN SALAD ( Veg )



Ingredients:
Carrots ... 1 small
Potato ..... 1 small
Beans ..... 6-7
Green Peas .. handful
Cauliflower .. 1/4 cup
Capsicums/bell peppers (green, red & yellow) little of each colour
Celery .... 1 small
Mayonnaise ... 1/2 cup (or more if you like)
Salt ... to taste
White pepper .. 1/8 tsp.
Lettuce leaves &  tomato ... to garnish

Method:


1. Cut all the vegetables into small pieces.
2. Boil the vegetables (except celery) one by one in salt water. This is because some vegetables take more time to cook and some are done faster. Make sure not to over cook them. They have to be crunchy. Drain and let them cool.

3. In a large bowl mix the vegetables, mayonnaise, salt and black pepper. Now add the finely chopped celery. Refrigerate until you serve.
4. Garnish the salad plate with lettuce leaves and a tomato rose.

You may add any veggies of your choice. I have used eggless mayonnaise in this recipe as it is easily available in India.
