RAW VERSION OF "OLIVIE" or "RUSSIAN SALAD"

Since I am half Russian, I do really sometimes miss all this traditional Russian dishes. Then I found in a one raw-recipe-book, which I bought couple years ago, Borsch (this recipe I have posted earlier) and now I found a recipe of this salad on the blog of one Russian raw food girl.  I adapted few more things to this recipe and it turned out to be grate!!!
One ingredient which I added was Indian black salt, which smells a lot like eggs. Can you imagine that!!! I was amazed!
It is called Kala Namak and the smell is due to its sulphur content. It really smells do not be surprised when you open it for the first time! :-)

So, that is why my Russian salad tastes exactly as "Olivie" since the original salad contains eggs. Now, I have the smell and taste of the eggs.
