Salads "Moscow" and "Stolichny" were included in the first edition of GOST for Russian cuisine

Recipes for salads "Moscow" and "Stolichny" were included in the final version of the first edition of GOST for Russian cuisine. This follows from a document published on November 11 on the Rosstandart website.

"The salad is prepared in the same way as Stolichny, but turkey fillets are used and seasoned with mayonnaise with whipped cream," says the document on the preparation of the Moscow salad.

The basis of Stolichny consists of boiled, fried or baked poultry or game, potatoes, cucumbers, eggs, green salad and mayonnaise. Canned crabs, crayfish necks and olives are allowed as additional ingredients. The products are cut into thin slices, mixed with dressing and placed in a salad bowl.

To prepare the Moscow salad, turkey is used instead of poultry or game, and mayonnaise is combined with whipped cream. The dish also includes potatoes, cucumbers, eggs, lettuce and gherkins. Additionally, it is allowed to add crabs, crayfish necks, olives, canned fruits and grainy caviar. The latter is used to decorate figures made from fresh cucumbers.

Both salads were missing from the April GOST draft. In total, the first edition of the document included recipes for 132 dishes, including borscht, okroshka, cabbage rolls, dumplings, gingerbread, sbitnya, Russian mustard, as well as Olivier and Mimosa salads.

Rosstandart also approved the only option for cooking okroshka in the final version of the GOST for Russian cuisine. According to the updated document, okroshka is based on meat, poultry, game or fish, fresh cucumbers, green onions and herbs. Kvass with a pronounced sour taste is provided for filling, which can be supplemented with cucumber or berry pickle. The standard does not recommend using kefir and other fermented milk products.
