One prefers to eat his Russian salad for breakfast...

...and the other likes to eat it as lunch.

Some eat it on a sandwich and others โ€‹eat it with a spoon.

Whatever you decide to do, you always have two problems when you buy a Russian salad from the supermarket (such as Walmart):

  • It contains potatoes (which is bad for the blood sugar)
  • It contains mayonnaise (contains pro-inflammatory omega-6)

And if you are a vegetarian, then you also would have a problem with the meat in such a salad.

Fortunately, you can get around this by using this low-carb Russian (Olivier) salad recipe that is packed with lots of healthy ingredients!

The potatoes here have been replaced by cauliflower, which is a lot healthier.

The regular mayonnaise has been replaced by mayonnaise without omega-6 rich oil, so your insulin sensitivity is not negatively affected.

And if you eat vegetarian, you can just take the meat out of this recipe without sacrificing flavor. If you โ€‹like fish, you can add tuna. And to make it even healthier, you can add beets to the Russian salad. 

Do you feel like making this recipe? Below you can already see what awaits you.
