Russian sandwich is a simple yet iconic dish of Russian cuisine. Its roots trace back to the traditions of folk snacks, where black bread symbolizes heartiness and fresh cucumber represents freshness and summer coolness. A slice of bread spread with mayonnaise, generously seasoned with salt and pepper, creates a rich, slightly spicy flavor that pairs perfectly with the crunchy cucumber. This sandwich is ideal for a light snack, quick breakfast, or as an addition to a main dish. Its simplicity makes it accessible to everyone, while the combination of ingredients is incredibly harmonious.
