Classic Olivier salad with sausage and peas

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 2 hr 30 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make Olivier with sausage? Prepare the necessary ingredients. Boil potatoes and carrots in advance and cool. Boil chicken eggs hard, also cool them and peel them. You can use any boiled sausage you like. Cucumbers can be salted or pickled, this is not critical.

2. STEP 2

   

   Drain the liquid from the can of green peas, place the peas in a colander and let them sit for a while. This is good to do so that the salad does not “float” - we let all excess moisture dry.

3. STEP 3

   

   Cut the boiled sausage into cubes. I took the milk sausage.

4. STEP 4

   

   Peel the boiled and cooled carrots and cut into medium cubes. Try to cut all the ingredients into cubes of the same size so that the salad looks beautiful and neat.

5. STEP 5

   

   Also peel the boiled potatoes and cut into medium cubes. Cut the boiled and peeled eggs.

6. STEP 6

   

   Cut the cucumbers into cubes. You can remove the skin from them, especially if it is a bit tough. I didn't do this. Make sure your cucumbers are not too salty.

7. STEP 7

   

   In a suitable salad bowl, combine all the chopped products with peas.

8. STEP 8

   

   Season the Olivier salad with mayonnaise. It’s better to use a homemade one made by yourself.

9. STEP 9

   

   Mix the salad and taste for salt. If necessary, add salt. Put Olivier in the refrigerator for an hour - it tastes better chilled. Then you can serve it to the table. Bon appetit!

Classic Olivier salad with sausage and peas is a traditional New Year's salad in our family. Only this time I made other salads and left Olivier for Christmas. For the salad, I used pork ham instead of boiled sausage. In addition, I needed more eggs, that’s how we like them) I have homemade pickles, they turned out to be large, I had to peel the skin. I always squeeze the sliced ​​cucumbers out of the brine so that the salad does not turn out watery. For me, chopping ingredients for Olivier is like meditation, I really love this process) This recipe makes the most delicious salad, it is juicy and tender. The salt from the cucumbers and ham dispersed among the other ingredients, so I added just a little salt. Delicious!

No holiday is complete without your favorite Olivier. This time I have a recipe for a classic Olivier salad with sausage and peas. All ingredients are approximately the same in weight, I took about 200 grams of each product, least of all peas, it seems to me that if you put a lot of it, it will interrupt the taste of other products. I cooked vegetables - potatoes, carrots, hard-boiled eggs, boiled doctor's sausage, pickled cucumbers, and, of course, a jar of canned green peas. I cut all the ingredients into cubes, drained the liquid from the peas, and mixed everything with the addition of mayonnaise. I made homemade mayonnaise myself, for this I beat an egg with salt, sugar, vinegar and mustard in a blender, gradually pouring in vegetable oil. Salads with this mayonnaise turn out to be very tender and tasty. I also finely chopped the greens to make an elegant and appetizing salad. Thanks for the recipe.

Year after year we prepare Olivier salad for New Year and Christmas. I tried different recipes: with chicken, beef, fresh cucumbers, but most of all I like it with sausage. I prefer to cook vegetables for salad in a slow cooker; I select the “Steamer” mode. Vegetables do not become overcooked and do not become watery. Usually for 4 eggs I add one medium carrot and potato. I have long determined the ideal proportion of ingredients in a salad that my family likes. Lately I've been cooking eggs in an egg boiler. The advantage of this gadget is that during the cooking process the shell does not crack, and therefore the protein does not leak out. Well, another plus is that water does not penetrate inside and the protein density is not disturbed. Some will say that these are minor nuances, but these are the nuances that make up the secret of the perfect Olivier salad for me. I dress the salad with homemade mayonnaise; I really like mayonnaise made from aquafaba. I add peas to salad, but I use aquafaba to make homemade mayonnaise. Serving the salad can be different, either in portions or in a salad bowl at the table.

I love Olivier salad with sausage and peas - the most delicious version of this salad. Although it’s delicious with meat, for those who are fasting, squid can be used instead of sausage.
