Note: The laws of Shabbat rest mandate that all cooking and baking be done before Shabbat, and regulate food preparation done on Shabbat in other ways as well. For more information, see Food Preparation on Shabbat.

Israeli Salad

This is traditional Russian salad. Why would it be called an Israeli Salad? Israeli Salad in Russian cuisine is something all together different made with eggplant.

Growing up my mom or grandma never used lemon juice in any Russian salads. We used Mayo.

This is an Israeli salad except it's missing lettuce.
I would do everything except omit the mint.
