Russian anchovy salad recipe

1. You can use fresh anchovies or canned. You know which one I prefer. Either way soaks them and drain them and let them dry.
2. Take one hard-boiled eggs and slice into little pieces.
3. Use iceberg lettuce as a base and some darker green mixed in, in Russia they use dandelions as they are common they would not have something like arugula. I use dandelions anyway as it bitter greens as such are good for the liver.
4. Next I add the dressing. For fish or egg based salad the best is an oil based dressing. The Russians use sunflower oil but olive oils can also be used.
5. Mix with fresh garlic and parsley, chives and tarragon.

Although Italians are known for the anchovies Russian have a large number of fish and salted fish recipes. I think anchovies are more a warm water fish but I think Russia is such a large country they have access to an anchovy or two via trade.
