This Russian Potato Oliver Salad (Салат Оливье) is a great classic of Russian Cuisine. It’s also a staple salad used everywhere around the world.

The Ruska Salata is also an item one must surely have on their table on Bulgarian New Year’s Eve. The secret of this dish lies in the preparation of all the ingredients making sure they’re all chopped into small pieces of the same size. You must really taste every ingredient in every bite.
