Recipe Notes

from Australia’s Best Recipes team

This recipe is inspired by the traditional "Russian Salad," which would include boiled potato instead of pasta. While the shape and texture of couscous pasta is the hero of this dish, any available pasta may be used if couscous pasta is not available. Canned peas and corn may be used (drain the liquid).
