As you know, Russian salad containing boiled potatoes, dill pickles, peas, eggs, carrots, and boiled beef/chicken dressed with mayonnaise. 

I prefer to add also sour cream. Anyway, mayonnaise and sour cream can make it a little bit “heavy”. 

So, let’s do some changes and make it more refreshing and interesting:

In standard Russian salad add pineapple pieces or apple pieces, or both!

You will be surprise how refreshing that salad can be. Also, salad will get very interesting sour-sweet taste.
