Russian Cheese Salad Recipes

AUTHENTIC RUSSIAN SALAD 'OLIVYE'

This is a recipe my mom and grandmother use every time there's a family gathering or a special occasion. To make this a vegetarian dish just leave out the ham. Potatoes, carrots, and eggs do not have to be chilled completely after boiling. Dill can be substituted for parsley if desired.

RUSSIAN POTATO SALAD

This Russian potato salad recipe comes from my grandmother, who had written it down in Russian before she translated it for me when I was a teen. We made this every Easter, or for any event where family and friends gathered together. -Gala McGaughey, Berryville, Virginia
