Salat iz Yaits i Gribov (Russian Egg and Mushroom Salad)
This easy Russian salad comes from Anya von Bremzen's Please to the Table: The Russian Cookbook (Workman, 1990). Serve it open-faced on thick sourdough rye with dill pickle spears. This recipe first appeared in our April 2011 special Sandwich Issue with the article Salad Days.
