The salad is called "Salad Olvieh" ( comes from the russian salad " Salad Olivier")the spelling might be off since the iranian letters are different.You forgot the salt pickels. Use about 4-5 medium size finely chopped pickels ( originally salt pickeld) and mix in the other ingredients. That way the mix will stick better and you need less mayonaise. Use a dollop of Mayo to smooth down the mix on a platter or in a bowl and decorate with remaining pickels and peas ( or whatever you like). Iranian housewifes are masters in the kitchen including decorating their dishes in a big way.

Umm....I didn't actually eat this. I made it & left it in the fridge. When I came home it was gone but everyone said it was awesome! Made for NA*ME Dish of the Week.

Made & reviewed for The Dish of The Week in the NA*ME Forum! The whole family LOVED this salad. I especially am a big fan of all kinds of potato salad so I was really looking forward to trying this & ut didn't dissappoint! I was a little unsure about the ice box stage (in the UK the ice box is the mini freezer bit at the top of some refridgerators) - so I put it in the regular refridgerator & it turned out beautifully. We took it on a picnic & it travelled very well in the cool box. Thanks for a great recipe
