2 - In your country, what variation do you typically add to Russian salad?
Russian salad had become favourite to a large number of people in my country nigerian which have made so many people include it in the menu during occasions and festivals it is mostly paired with rice such as coconut rice, fried rice and jollof rice, other vegetables can be replaced such as cabbage in place of potato and sweet corn in place of peas but i think carrots has always been the king ingredient because it is always present in all i have seen.
Tell us about the flavor of your salad?
All the vegetables present in the salad had different flavors coming together even make it unique and also a little drop of vinegar and the mayonnaise together gave it a very unique flavor felt like a crunchy milky ice cream.
Did it meet your expectations?
To be very honest i didn't expect it to turn out so great although i carefully follow the step by step process i never expected a first time try to be this great, so yes it met my expectations.
