Leningrad salad

Re: Leningrad salad

Another one of refreshing and filling salads that are usually made for celebrations here.
We need 2 big leeks, 3 red potatoes, some yellow cheese, mayo, sour cream.

Slice leeks thinly, salt them and leave them to release excess moisture.
Boil potatoes in salted water, when completely cooked, place them in ice water and remove skins (it's easier than peeling uncooked potatoes). Grate them on a cheese grater.
Drain leeks from excess moisture, mix with potatoes, add mayo, sour cream, grate cheese on top, mix everything well, ad salt and pepper to taste.
Very easy and very tasty!

Nice idea!!!  Leeks are only salted and drained, not cooked, right?  Will definitely make it as side dish to grilled fish.

Dix Love,

Thanks! Yes, only salted and drained, they give the crunch to the salad.
