Directions: |
Directions:Peel the carrots and potatoes and steam them, ensuring they stay slightly crunchy. This cooking method is ideal for preserving the nutritional value and flavor of the vegetables and for achieving the perfect firmness. Place the carrots and potatoes in ice water, then leave them to chill in the refrigerator on a paper towel. Cut the carrots and potatoes into equal-sized small cubes. Drain the gherkins from their brine, squeeze them out and dry them well, and cut them into equal-sized cubes. Drain the capers, squeeze them out well, and dry them. Immerse the frozen peas in salted boiling water and blanch them for a minute; then drain them, cool them in ice water, and dry them. Drain the tuna from its oil. Cut the tuna into small cubes the same size of the vegetables. Gently combine the ingredients in a large bowl. Pour in the mayonnaise and gently mix it with the other ingredients. Season with salt to taste, if necessary. |

Notes: This is a typical salad bar item however this recipe is over 100 years old, it is from 1883, and a favorite. You can add chopped onion if you like onions.
Milan’s most beloved marketplace since 1883 boasts a legendary antipasto bar, with delights such as tartine alla gelatina, pâtés, and vol- au-vents. But the true Christmas classic and fan favorite is their famous Russian salad. I had to add this so you had the history of this recipe.
