This is to keep the hung curd cold.<\/li>\n<li>Peel and dice the carrots.<\/li>\n<li>Peel and dice the potatoes. Put the chopped pieces in a bowl of water to prevent them from changing colour till you&#8217;re ready to use them.<\/li>\n<li>Peel the cucumber and slice it lengthwise into two pieces. Cut away the central core with the seeds and discard it. Dice the cucumber too into bite-size pieces.<\/li>\n<li>Set around 1 litre of water to boil in a vessel. Add 1 tsp salt to the water. When it comes to a boil, add the chopped carrots and green peas. Cook these vegetables for around 4 to 5 minutes or till they&#8217;re done. Remove them to a colander placed over a vessel for collecting any water that drains away.<\/li>\n<li>In the same water, cook the chopped potatoes for around 5 minutes or till they&#8217;re fork tender. Remove these too to the colander.<\/li>\n<li>Let these cooked vegetables cool completely to room temperature, and then move them to the fridge for around 20 minutes to cool them some more.<\/li>\n<li>Dice the pineapple and the apple. You could peel the apple first if you want.<\/li>\n<li>In a large bowl, prepare a mayonnaise-based dressing by mixing the mayonnaise with the milk cream and the hung curd.<\/li>\n<li>Add the chopped vegetables and fruits to the bowl along with the powdered sugar, pepper powder, and salt, and mix all of this well with the dressing.<\/li>\n<li>Taste the salad and add more sugar, salt, or pepper if necessary.<\/li>\n<li>Add some more mayonnaise to the salad if you feel the quantity of the dressing needs to be increased.<\/li>\n<li>Chill the salad in the fridge for around an hour before serving it.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Enjoy!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Healthy Russian Salad Recipe Let&#8217;s make some delicious and refreshing Russian salad, a colourful salad that originated in Russia, but soon became popular all over the world, including India.
