Colorful Russian salad with Greek yogurt

Russian salad is the whole meal on your plate. In addition, it contains loads of colorful veggies, appealing to your eyes. We are skipping the potato and mayo to make it healthier without losing its taste and the way it looks. There are a lot of variations in salads, choose the way your taste buds love it.

You cannot store salad in a refrigerator for a long time after combining the dressing, since the yogurt has a tendency to leave water. I would suggest to store them separately and can be combined when needed.

Benefits of the ingredients used:

Vegetables: They are high in vitamins and antioxidants. Brussel sprouts have a good source of protein, potassium, and iron.
Fruits: Promotes health complexion and decrease the risk of heart disease.
Greek yogurt: Excellent source of protein and rich in calcium.

Variations :

• Boiled potatoes, peas, edamame can be added.
• I love the addition of crunchy apples in the salad. It is your choice of adding it.
• Pickled cucumbers can also be added.
