About

Here’s a recipe that I adapted from Kira Petrovskaya’s Russian Cookbook. Although billed as a salad, it makes a nice lunch for two people on a hot day. The olives can be either green or black, or a mixture. Black ones, however, make a more attractive salad.

Ingredients

½ pound smoked salmon
4 or 5 boiled small new potatoes, diced
½ cup

Method

Mix the onion, green onion, capers, olives, and potatoes in a bowl. Cut the salmon into fingers and mix very carefully into the potato mixture. Chill.

Prepare a dressing by combining the vinegar, oil, and mustard; season with a little salt and pepper to taste. When you are ready to serve, pour the dressing over the salmon, but do not stir in. Eat immediately with crackers or toast.
