In Portugal, something very similar to that "French Salad" (same thing minus the apple, and sometimes with sliced boiled egg) is called "Russian Salad".
(Russian Salad also became slang for when you make a mess by mixing stuff up that makes little sense.)

I can confirm that something that looks a lot like the picture in the diary is a frequent occurrence on Russian tables...

Heh. In Budapest, there is a "Russian salad", too; but it contains sliced meat and potato in a tartar-like sauce.

However, the salads denoted "Russian salad" have a great variation just within Hungarian-speaking areas: different meats included, extra vegetables included, fish included. (I was only aware of the variation in meat and the non/inclusion of cucumber, but now saw the full extent when I did a recipe search...)
