Russia. Associated with Russia by a demonym leading its title: Russian (confidence 0.55). "Associated with" means only that the evidence named here links this recipe to that place. A recipe isn't labelled as representing an entire country because a source associates it with one, and regional origins are kept where the source gives them.

Method
- Fill the outside of a double mold with clear aspic jelly (see page 321), and the center with a macedoine of vegetables, or with celery, or with any one vegetable.
- Marinate the vegetables;
- then mix them with Mayonnaise made with jelly instead of eggs (see page 290).
- Cover the top with jelly so the vegetables will be completely enclosed (see directions for double molding, page 325).
- Turn the form of salad on a flat dish, and garnish with shredded lettuce.
