Once I have heard someone telling that cooking is nothing but just the right combination of salt and spices.
But I really disagree!
If it would have been true then why the same dal serve in you platter daily, tastes different everyday?
Why you always miss your mom and say, "Ma ke haath wali baat nahin hai...!"?
Have you ever noticed when you are in a good mood and enjoying while cooking, you tend to make a tastier food rather than when you are in a bad mood...??

I am my mom's daughter a typical mumma's child..:) as everyone says, so my love for cooking and serving food properly are in my genes, transfered to me by my mom!! I started cooking food because of my mother and my brother.
As my mom cooks very well and my brother is fond of eating varieties. And now my son, whenever he goes to visit them in vacations, he enjoys his Mamu's company coz he makes him enjoy in all the way.... movies, parties, malls and top of them.. good  food at various joints.
Once my son comes back to home, he insisits 'Ma, I want to have this and that... which I had there...'. and all this makes me to cook and serve him whatever he wants....

A light n healthy all time Salad.
I think it is named as Russian salad because Russians have it almost everyday.
You can add and less the ingredients as per your taste as there is no hard and fast rule for preparing this salad.
The outcome should be TASTE... Yummy !! Should be very tasty!

One thing to be kept in mind is that the tomatoes should be De-seeded as when put the simply diced tomatoes in it, without de-seeding it leaves water, making my salad looking ruined and somewhat ugly!

Ingredients :

For the salad :
Macaroni, 2 cup 
Hard boiled eggs, 4
Onions ,1 medium, finely chopped
Boiled Potatoes, 2 medium, diced
Seeded and diced tomatoes, 2 medium
Lettuce leaves, chilled and finely chopped 6

For dressing
Mayonnaise 4 - 5 Tbsp
Olive oil 1 tbsp
Salt to taste
White pepper powder 1 teaspoon

Method:
Peel and cut the eggs length ways into eight slices.
In large bowl combine the macaroni, egg slices, chopped onion and diced potatoes .
In a separate small bowl, mix the mayonnaise with salt and white pepper powder.
Add the dressing and olive oil to the salad mixture and mix well while toss and turn.
Add chilled lettuce leaves and mix lightly.
Decorate with chopped tomato.
Cover with cling film and place in a refrigerator for at least twenty minutes.
Serve chilled.
