From , former About.com Guide

This Argentine adaptation of a Russian salad is extremely popular. You'll find it on the menu as a side dish to any meat entree. Easy to make, it's an international addition to your home menu.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup boiled potatoes
  • 1 cup boiled carrots
  • 1 cup boiled sweet potatoes
  • 1 cup boiled beets
  • 1 cup boiled or steamed peas
  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise, or to taste
  • salt and pepper to taste

Preparation:

Cook the vegetables. If you prefer, you can use a frozen mix of carrots and peas, or canned beets.

Cut the vegetables into small same-sized cubes. Combine with the mayonnaise, salt and pepper to taste and serve.

This is the traditional recipe. You'll find that many restaurants omit the beets and sweet potatoes, but try it both ways.
