Salad Russe, also known as Salad Olivier is perfect for holiday buffets. Carrots, peas, potatoes and corn are combined in a creamy mustard vinaigrette dressing. This salad is the absolute condiment to go along with your favorite roast. For extra tangy flavor, finely diced pickles may also be added. It’s very often garnished with sliced pickled gherkins as seen in this photo or with hard boiled eggs.
