New World Market

New World Market is one of the largest Russian markets in San Francisco. There are tons of prepared dishes to choose from, and if Russian salads intrigue you (and they should), you’ve come to the right place. Some good options here are the crab, vinaigrette, olivier, and shuba salads, the last of which is a dressed herring salad with vegetables and mayonnaise and is commonly served at dinner. Olivier salad is a traditional dish with eggs, peas, meat, carrots, and onions tossed in mayonnaise and is also served during dinner.
