Ingredients
- 3 medium Potatoes
- 2 medium Carrots
- 1 cup Green peas
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 1 medium Red apple
- 1 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 cup Non-fat yogurt
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons chopped Fresh dill
Directions
Step 1
Peel the potatoes and carrots. Cut the potatoes into small cubes and slice the carrots into thin rounds.
Step 2
Bring a large pot of water to boil. Add the potato cubes and carrot slices. Cook for about 8-10 minutes or until both are tender but not mushy. Drain and cool them under cold running water to stop the cooking process.
Step 3
In a small pot, boil the green peas for about 5 minutes or until tender. Drain and rinse under cold water.
Step 4
Dice the cucumber and red apple into small, uniform cubes. For the apple, you may leave the peel on for added color and texture.
Step 5
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, non-fat yogurt, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice until smooth and well combined.
Step 6
Add the boiled potatoes, carrots, green peas, diced cucumber, and apple to the dressing. Toss gently ensuring all the ingredients are well coated.
Step 7
Sprinkle the chopped fresh dill over the salad and incorporate using a spoon or spatula.
Step 8
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Chill the salad in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 9
Serve the Vegetarian Russian Salad cold, garnished with additional dill if desired.
