  Very fresh summer salad! Easy to prepare and filling. We ate it together with a nice grilled hamburger. A good summer alternative for the simple 'potato, vegetables and meat with gravy'

  Rick Stein recommends the veg are cut up small after cooking and then cooled - for better flavour... this way the flavours are not lost in cooking.

  Masha: I believe Russian Salad was invented by Marguerite Patten just after the end of World War II. Maybe its called Russian in honour of Britain's Soviet allies. I dont know!

  Does anyone remember the canned variety of this you could get in the 60s / 70s ? Was it by Heinz? Can you still get it anywhere?
