This recipe is one of my favorites. It is not one that I can make in Russia very easily, because we do not have Russian style dressing in Russia. You know that famous Russian, Catalina dressing that is yummy on salads. I was always amazed that we have a Russian dressing and Russians are like, “What? You mean Mayo?”
I guess you have to live in Russia to understand that remark above! Never the less I have yet to find my favorite salad dressing in Russia and it is even called Russian. You would think – Nah lets not think…
Lets just eat and make a wonderful tangy chicken that will tantalize your taste buds, even if it is not actually a Russian recipe. Well in name only…
