Salad Olivier - 22 cooking recipes

The cult snack from the hereditary French chef has become an indispensable attribute on any holiday table for a domestic gourmet. Of course, modern recipes for Olivier salad are somewhat different from the original version created by the famous chef.

Salad Olivier

There is an opinion that the maestro invented the popular dish out of... anger. The culinary expert noticed how Russian aristocrats were changing his new idea, disrupting the design and turning the delicacy into a hearty meal. The angry virtuoso decided to independently prepare a revolutionary dish for the “Slavic barbarians.” You shouldn’t be offended by the Frenchman’s subtle mental organization, because for him the behavior of the local nobility who visited the Hermitage and “ruined” his creation was unthinkable. Despite the prevailing stereotype about the dangers of Olivier salad, it is very useful. Thanks to the abundance of boiled vegetables and the ability to choose a dressing to taste, each chef cooks based on personal preferences. Overall, the culinary masterpiece is a truly post-Soviet treat. Of course, you can always recreate an old recipe that will decorate any feast. However, we should not forget about the crystal bowl treat that was popular in Soviet times, which turned into a kind of New Year’s tradition.
