We have a salad called Olivie, and this is how most of the people make it: *any kind of meat (deli meats or chicken/turkey are the most popular choices) *Potatoes (boiled, peeled, and cubed) *Carrots (boiled, peeled, and cubed) *Eggs (boiled, peeled, and cubed) *Peas (1 can) *Pickles (the salty/crunchy kind - cubed) *Onions *Apple *mayo *salt (and some people add pepper) I was born and raised in Russia, and this is extremely popular salad, but I have never met anyone who adds celery or garlic - that must be South American modification.. =) I can see how this salad is thought to have Russian roots.
