Tell the Greeks Americans like this too, and thanks for sharing it! Beautiful colors, wonderful flavors. Soft, crunchy, sweet, sour, ououou! I made a small version for the two of us and decided to just fold the lite mayo in. Big mistake. We had pink Russian salad, so follow the recipe and frost the salad with the mayo. Oh, and don't add the beets until just before you serve the salad.

Excellent Rossiki Salata! I use to always buy store-bought, NOT any more! This was so simple to put together. I must confess, I omitted the BEETS for personal preference. I add a Box of Frozen Mixed Veggies (ie~Peas/Carrots/Corn). I also added boiled/ chopped up egg, in addition to the other ingredients EV mentions! Came out AWESOME ~ THANKS !
