Russian Salad

Russian salad  is also called as Oliver salad.  I have tasted this salad served along with Pizza's from pizza hut. This can go as a best accompaniment for pizza's and toasted garlic breads. It's a mix of boiled veggies and mayonnaise. It is also provided as an appetizer's in some restaurants. Very simple & easy to make and tastes yummy too. Mayo and ketchup combination blends well with this salad.
