Ensaladilla rusa (Russian salad)

Although the original Russian salad is native to Russia, in Spain there is a modern version of this salad, typically served as a tapa or a starter during summer, as it is served cold. The original Russian salad consisted basically of boiled potatoes, meat and mayonnaise.

There are other ingredients that can be added, such as boiled green beans or shrimps, but this is the basic and easiest recipe to prepare ensaladilla rusa:
