Canned tuna and veggie salad?

[Laurie Sanantone]

Hola to all,
Last year I bought a canned tuna and veggie salad at a tienda on the Camino Frances. It was delicious and a great snack when I was running on empty one afternoon. Can anyone identify this by brand? Some friends will start their Camino in a few weeks and I wanted to give them the brand name.
Thanks and buen camino!

Many different brands make this. All your friends need to do is walk down the can pned food aisle. It really is a very convienient snack, along with the tetrapack gazpacho.

I agree, it's a good meal in a can or plastic container. It's called Ensalada rusa in Spanish or Russian salad in English. I also agree about tetrapack gazpacho.

Hi, whenever I’ve come up against Russian Salad it has bits of ham in it, not tuna.
Atún is Spanish for tuna.

Calvo has a nice assortment. To be found in every supermarket or tienda. Tell them that Mercadona stays open for siesta.

Pining for 'brick' gazpacho.

They did indeed have potatoes. Have to admit I never ordered a Russian salad that was part of a pilgrim menu. I only ever bought the packaged version from supermercados and tiendas.

At the risk of being a pedant...have just gone through my photos and I did take a pic of a plastic tub of Russian salad that I bought in Larrasoaña. It was definitely made with tuna. Just ignore my other "healthy" choices.

 

[HedaP]

We're proably all correct. Ham or tuna, it can still be Russian salad.
