Russian salad or Olivier salad (Salat Olive) is a type of salad prepared with mayonnaise, cooked potatoes, carrots, pickles, ham, cooked eggs, and sometimes with different types of sausage or boiled chicken.

This salad is known in many European countries, although not always under the same name. In some countries (eg Croatia, Italy, France, Spain, Macedonia, Bulgaria, etc.) is known as "Russian salad", while in some other countries (eg Russia, Ukraine, Germany, USA, UK, etc.) known as "Olivier's Salad" or "French Salad" (the name may also refer to other types of salad).

There are several different varieties of Russian salads. This salad is especially served on festive occasions, such as the New

RasmaSandra I know it is delicious. There is a Latvian version with beets and at times also marinated herring. It is always good and plentiful.
