Spanish potato, egg, and tuna salad
Ensaladilla Rusa (literally Russian salad) is a traditional Spanish snack of egg, potato, tuna, and peas, a nd often pickles. Originally, it was Salat Oliviye, created in the mid-19th century by Olivier, the chef of Moscow’s fashionable Hermitage restaurant. He used grouse meat and a secret dressing instead of mayonnaise. Later versions replaced game with chicken, the dressing with the ever-popular condiment. This Spanish version uses tuna. (Recipe: Spanish potato, egg, and tuna salad)
