I learned how to make Russian salad by watching Ma'am prepare the recipe. I have gained a lot of experience by watching the recipe prepared by Ma'am, so I will make the Russian salad from that experience.

The salad contains vitamins from vegetables and meat and nutritious food for the body, eating it maintains the balance of the body as well as relieves many diseases. So without delay, let's make the recipe, I hope everyone will like it. First, I am mentioning the ingredients.

• One medium-sized potato
• 1 carrot
• 5 tablespoons of mayonnaise
• 30 grams of peas
• One egg
• As much coriander leaves
• 2 tablespoons of mustard
• 100 grams of apple
• As much raisins
• As many cherries

Now I will share the recipe step by step below, I hope everyone will like it.

First, I washed the potatoes and carrots well from the vegetables and chopped them into small pieces in a clean bowl.

Now I took water in another pot, added salt to the water, and added carrots and potatoes to boil. When it was half-boiled, I took it off. And I kept the vegetables separately to cool.

After about 10 minutes, when the vegetables were cold, I took another clean pot for preparing the salad and added the potatoes to the cooled vegetables. Potatoes are the most important part of the Russian salad.

After adding the potatoes, I added half-boiled carrots to it, carrots remain a bit firm even after boiling, which adds texture to the salad and contains a lot of vitamins.

Then I added peas. It adds a lot of flavor to the salad as well as increasing the nutritional value of the salad and making it attractive. It also balances the heavy ingredients like other ingredients (like eggs, potatoes, mayonnaise).

I add apples among other ingredients, which not only add flavor but also texture and nutrition to the salad, besides, the chopped apples give a crunchy feel to the salad.

Then I add coriander to the salad, this coriander gives a beautiful aroma and also adds flavor. The mayonnaise used in Russian salad is heavy in taste and this coriander balances the heavy taste.

Among these, I added raisins as an extra ingredient. This salad is also creamy, which gives a sweet taste to the raisins and creates the consistency of the salad. The nutritional value of the salad increases due to the presence of fiber and iron in raisins.

After adding raisins, I added cherries as an extra ingredient to the salad. Adding cherries increases its beauty and makes it look very tempting, which makes the salad very attractive to eat.

I added boiled eggs to the salad, eggs are a very important ingredient in Russian salads. It adds texture to the salad as well as texture and flavor. Eggs and mayonnaise together create a thick and soft texture.

After adding eggs, I added mustard, adding mustard gives a sharp taste to the mustard which balances the mild taste with mayonnaise. Also, the mustard grains make it very attractive to eat.

After all the ingredients, I added mayonnaise at the end, Then I started mixing all the ingredients. Mayonnaise is the most important ingredient in Russian salads. It gives the salad texture and flavor. Mayonnaise binds all the ingredients together, which makes the salad more delicious to eat. Without mayonnaise, the entire salad cannot be mixed, so the taste cannot be tasted.

Then I put my signature and date on a piece of paper.

Usually, I prepare salads in my country in a different way, but I have never made Russian salad before, this is my first time making it. I have added extra ingredients to the salad which I add to the salads in our country. I heard the name of this salad Russian salad for the first time that day, but the ingredients given in the salad are very nutritious which is very important for the body.

If we talk about the salads of our country, then I will say that Russian salad is more delicious than the salads of our country, because many ingredients are given in this salad and each ingredient of which is tasty and full of vitamins along with many textures. The salads of our country are made with sauce and because of the other ingredients in it, it is quite delicious.

The Russian salad I made is full of nutrients and very delicious, so I am very happy to make this salad because I have been able to make it and know it and I can keep it on my dining table. The salad was very tasty with eggs, mayonnaise, half-boiled carrots, and potatoes, all of which were very nutritious and flavorful, making it a dish that I would like to eat again.

Below I have highlighted the benefits of potatoes and carrots.

🟥 Benefits of Potatoes

Potatoes are a popular vegetable, which are rich in nutrients that benefit our body in many ways.

• Potatoes contain a lot of carbohydrates that provide our body with quick energy, especially after hard work, energy is regained by eating them. In addition, potatoes contain potassium, magnesium, and iron, which control our blood pressure. Potatoes are a carbohydrate food, so this vegetable gives good results to those who are too thin and want to improve their health. However, we should not eat too much of this carbohydrate food.

🟥 Benefits of carrots

Carrots are a nutritious and healthy vegetable, carrots contain vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that can be eaten raw, cooked, juiced, and in salads.

• Carrots contain a lot of beta-carotene, which in our body turns into vitamin A. It improves our eyesight and also brightens our skin. Carrots contain potassium which controls our high blood pressure and increases our body's immunity due to the production of antioxidants.

I have listed the prices of potatoes and carrots in the Russian salad ingredients below. First I will show it in my local currency so that our local Steemians can easily understand it, and then I will show it in Steem and dollars. Although it is an international currency of the team, everyone will understand this price through it. However, this price may vary slightly depending on the country. I am listing the prices below.

Ma'am taught me a beautiful recipe, but I have some tips for making this salad which are essential for everyone. We all can cook more or less, in our country both boys and girls are famous for cooking, but girls cook more than boys. Many times we cannot retain the nutrients due to small mistakes while cooking. I have given the tips for today's recipe below.

Before making the salad, I washed the potatoes and carrots as vegetables, and the apples as fruits, well and then cut them. Many people wash vegetables and fruits after cutting, which destroys the nutrients of vegetables and fruits, vitamins come out with water, so to retain vitamins and nutrients, you have to wash them well before cutting so that they do not need washing after cutting.

Half-boiling potatoes and carrots leave them full of vitamins, which when boiled, not only does it spoil its taste, but it also separates from its nutrients. So we should eat vegetables half-boiled.
