And the addition of the pickling juice to the salad is definitely a winner I think. Tangled Noodle: This salad definitely has an interesting history and has clearly morphed over the years. I get the impression that store-bought mayonnaise is certainly what's typically used when Russians are making this - in fact, from reading some of Katrina's other posts, I gather that store-bought mayonnaise gets added in quite some quantities to a lot of Russian food. Jamie: I think that if you go to Russia, you are quite likely to get the heavy, mayonnaise-laden version - I added just enough for a light coating, the way I like it! sippitysup: …and you turned out ok, so I reckon that’s a good endorsement :D

Fabulous mix of vegetables, pickles, apple and such. Sounds really really delicious and looks incredibly pretty! Excellent story!

And it's fascinating that Katrina's recommendation of fresh mayonnaise over pre-made would be considered 'inauthentic', given that 'out of the tub' (store-bought) wasn't around at the time of this dish's creation. I'd like to give this recipe a go, homemade mayo and all! How I’d love a serving of this Russian Salad!

Huge fan and love these spud salads my favorite bloggers are making. I like how you put egg and pickling juice in it - yum. I met the lovely Katrina over lunch a few weeks ago!

The photo is my own - I was in Russia once upon a time and snapped that in the vicinity of the Kremlin - one of my favourite photos from the trip. As for the salad, it's definitely a heartier one that I would usually make myself (am fond of salads that are less dressed and contain celery too!) so this one was a real change for me as well.

I grew up with mustard (okay off topic but...) in my potato salad in the south, but I prefer a less dressed spud, red onion, and a crunchier texture, maybe celery...but I am willing to try this one! Cool photo at the beginning, is that also Katrina's? Once again Spud'sy Cox, you have cracked a good spud mystery!

Reeni: yep, it's a really hearty dish - good for the depths of winter :) Natasha: of course with your Russian family background I'm not surprised that it was a family favourite :) Diva: And Happy New Year to you too. I didn't know that much about Russian cuisine either, so I was pleased to learn a bit more about it myself. Katrina: Gosh, I'm not sure what Ireland could produce salad-wise to compete with Olivier! Our potato salads here tend to be quite simple (potato, mayonnaise and chives, maybe with some egg) - I'll have to give it some thought :) OysterCulture: it certainly has a fascinating history and wide reach, that's for sure manuel: well then, I will be dropping in to visit my favourite waiter at the new digs... Sophie: I really need to remind myself to make homemade mayonnaise more often, so simple and so good! Lori: how funny - I will have to ask my Brazilian SIL about that one - maybe she has a version she can share :) jenn: …as am I!

I got in on some of OysterCulture's research about it myself. Southern Brazil has their own version that they simply call what translates to "mayonaise" in English. I'm sure your SIL knows all about it. :) What a great match you two are! :) Love this salad. I got in on some of OysterCulture’s research about it myself.
