Salad with pig lungs and mushrooms "Rimma"

Write a comment

"Rimma" salad with pork lung and mushrooms is an unusual, hearty and remarkably tasty homemade salad that stands out from the usual lineup thanks to its original main ingredient: pork lung gives the dish a tender, budget-friendly yet very nourishing character, while the mushrooms add a rich woodsy aroma. It's a great option for a family lunch or for surprising guests with something a little different. Rinse the pork lung thoroughly and simmer in salted water with bay leaf and onion for 1-1.5 hours until completely tender, then cool and cut into matchsticks. Sauté button mushrooms with onion until golden. Add hard-boiled eggs, pickles or Korean-style carrots and dress with mayonnaise. Let rest in the fridge for 30-40 minutes before serving. Proportions for 4 servings inside.

Write a comment

Russian "Ryzhik" salad with carrots and crab sticks is a light, beautiful and remarkably tasty festive salad whose "sunny" name comes from its rich orange color, given to the dish by Korean-style carrots and grated carrot. It's an ideal choice for anyone who wants to decorate the holiday table with a bright and striking salad without complicated ingredients or long preparation. The combination of tender crab sticks, spicy carrots and crunchy fresh vegetables creates a balanced, savory yet very light flavor. Cut thawed crab sticks into matchsticks. Add Korean carrots and grated boiled or fresh carrot to a salad bowl. Optionally fold in canned corn, finely chopped cucumber, eggs or cheese. Dress with mayonnaise or light yogurt and mix thoroughly. Rest in the fridge for 15-20 minutes before serving. Proportions for 4 servings inside.

Salad "Horseshoe of Luck" – a simple way to prepare

Write a comment

The "Lucky Horseshoe" salad is a creative Russian holiday classic shaped — as its name suggests — into the curve of a horseshoe, the symbol of good fortune and prosperity. It's a beautiful centerpiece for a New Year's, anniversary or wedding table. The layers are familiar Russian salad favorites: poached chicken, hard-boiled eggs, grated cheese, sautéed mushrooms, sliced pickles and green peas, all bound with mayonnaise and arranged in a curved horseshoe shape. The top is decorated with olive "nails," sieved egg yolk and fresh herbs. Let it chill for 1-2 hours before serving so the flavors meld. Traditional proportions for 6-8 servings and shaping tips inside.

Favorite Husband Salad with Smoked Breast and Mushrooms

Write a comment

The cheekily named "Favorite Husband" salad is a hearty Russian layered classic built around bold, satisfying flavors: smoked chicken breast, sautéed mushrooms, sliced pickles, grated cheese and hard-boiled eggs, all bound together with mayonnaise. The combination is rich, smoky and undeniably crowd-pleasing — exactly the kind of salad that earns its name on a holiday or weekend table. It comes together in 20-25 minutes, but plan for at least 1-2 hours in the fridge so the layers can meld. I'll share traditional proportions for 4-6 servings, the best layer order for flavor and texture and a few easy ways to garnish it for a pretty presentation.

Salad with egg crepes and crab sticks is an original and remarkably striking interpretation of the classic salads with crab sticks that have already become a familiar fixture on festive tables. So many interesting interpretations of this appetizer exist, but the version with egg crepes stands out particularly thanks to its unusual appearance and remarkably tender texture. Thin egg crepes cut into matchsticks create an unexpected "noodle-like" structure in the salad and give the dish a completely new look and a more refined flavor. Beat eggs with a pinch of salt and cook on a pan as thin crepes on both sides. Cool and cut into thin matchsticks. Cut crab sticks and fresh cucumber into the same matchsticks. Add canned corn and herbs. Dress with mayonnaise, mix thoroughly and rest for 15-20 minutes. Proportions for 4 servings inside.
