Rūta's team by Astijus and Nojus
At first, boil the carrots and potatoes unpeeled, just washed very clean, as this will preserve more flavour. When the vegetables are cooked, drain the water and cool the vegetables in an open pot, dry. Peel the cooled vegetables.
Cut the carrots, potatoes, cucumbers and eggs into cubes and place in a bowl. Add the peas.
Season with salt and pepper and mix everything well with mayonnaise.
Enjoy!

Christmas Eve Dinner
Traditionally, twelve dishes are to be served on a Christmas Eve table (symbolizing twelve months of the year or Jesus‘ twelve apostles). We fast all day long, because we can eat only in the evening. We can‘t eat meat on that day. In the evening you have to taste twelve dishes that are on the table. The Eve dinner is very rich and filling.
Do not get surprised if there are too many plates on the Christmas Eve dinner table. Usually one empty plate is left for the diseased. It is believed that souls of the diseased join the family on Christmas Eve.
On Christmas Eve, the fruit like Lithuanian apples, then nuts, honey, potatoes with various types of fish, mushrooms and vegetables are usually served.
You will find at least 3 types of dishes containing herring on a typical Lithuanian Christmas Eve table: herring with beet, carrots, apples, hot potatoes, boletus, raisins, sunflower seeds, etc. You can also enjoy Christmas Eve pies with mushrooms or sauerkraut, dumplings stuffed with mushrooms or beetroot salad.

Communion wafers
Catholicism is the dominant religion in Lithuania, and sharing Communion wafers during the Christmas Eve dinner is common. Usually a wafer is passed around the table, and each family member breaks and eats a piece, wishing the others a good year ahead. Thus, it is not strictly a dish, but one of better known traditions. One usually can buy wafers from their nearest church.

A traditional drink is called Kisielius. It is a thick drink made from cranberries, sugar and potato starch to add thickness.
