This Russian salad is very similar to a potato salad but what makes it different is the addition of sugar beet that gives the salad its red-pinkish color. This is also a Filipino version of Russian salad because it has shredded chicken but oops, this is for non-vegetarian only. You can use vegemeat or totally omit the chicken.
