Olivier is a popular salad in Russia, considered rightfully popular. The recipe for the classic Olivier salad with sausage was invented by the legendary French chef Lucien Olivier, who owned his own restaurant, the Hermitage, in Russia in the second half of the 19th century.

In its original form, Olivier salad was an exquisite dish made from expensive ingredients (for example, black caviar) with a secret sauce dressing from the chef, giving it an original and unique taste.

He's Soviet! Adults remember the Soviet era, and for all of them this recipe with sausage was a classic salad. And young housewives are already improvising and changing the classic recipe, creating their own culinary masterpieces.

I decided to add juicy carrots to the traditional recipe - it may be similar to “Winter”, but we like it better...

If anyone wants to keep the “secret of the classics”, simply remove the “orange healthy charm” from the ingredients.

Salad ingredients:

Canned green peas – 1 can
Eggs – 5-6 pieces
Boiled sausage – 400 grams
Pickled cucumbers – 2-3 pieces
Carrots – 2 medium pieces
Potatoes – 2-3 pieces
Mayonnaise – 150 grams
Onions – 2 onions (you can have a bunch of green ones)
Greens for decoration: dill, parsley, celery
Spices and salt to taste

How to prepare Olivier salad according to the classic recipe?

All the cooking time is spent cooking the food. The rest is banal and simple, but it’s so delicious, you’ll just lick your fingers.

We cook all the vegetables in their jackets. Hard boiled eggs. Then cool and clean.
Cut carrots, potatoes, onions, cucumbers, and sausage into cubes. Finely chop the eggs.
Drain the liquid from the can of canned peas and add the peas to the salad.
Salt and pepper to taste. Season with mayonnaise and mix thoroughly.
We put it in the refrigerator. To soak and cool.
All. Our classic Olivier recipe is ready. Serve, garnish with a sprig of dill or parsley. Bon appetit!

It has been empirically proven and tested how to prepare the perfect Olivier recipe:

Cook vegetables only with their skins on, this way the taste and vitamins are preserved;
Take potatoes at the rate of 1 piece per 1 person;
Be sure to cool the vegetables. Cut the potatoes with a knife moistened with cold water or vegetable oil;
The sausage should be without fat - “Doctor’s” is just that.
The most delicious pickled or marinated cucumbers are slightly larger than a gherkin and not very sour;
Don’t skimp on eggs; they give the salad lightness and tenderness. Ideally, 1 egg per guest;
To prevent the onion from becoming bitter, pour boiling water over it. Better yet, use green onions instead. The Olivier salad will look more elegant and festive;
Not just any pea will do either. Look at the glass jars - you can immediately see the quality. Do not take with cloudy white sediment and dark peas. For the classic Olivier, you need to choose soft peas of the “brain variety” (these are wrinkled fruits, similar to the brain - they have the best taste and the least starch);
First mix all the ingredients, and then just add mayonnaise and salt;
After refrigeration, before decorating, arrange the salad into dishes using a “serving ring” or a cut-off 1.5 liter plastic bottle;
Boiled sausage can be replaced with smoked sausage, ham or meat;
To add a fresh flavor to our dish, you can cut a fresh cucumber instead of pickles.

Since Soviet times, this salad has been prepared for the New Year along with and. And now it still appears on the New Year's table.

And now for improvisation. Let's move away from the classics and prepare Olivier with other products.

Classic Olivier salad recipe with fresh cucumber

Well, let's try the recipe with fresh cucumber!

What do we need? The same as in the classic “Olivier”, the only difference is that instead of pickled (salted) cucumbers, we will add fresh cucumber to the overall composition. Or rather, to those ingredients listed above - 3 medium fresh cucumbers.

In fact, the aroma flows throughout the entire apartment - freshness, cheerfulness and memories of “summer days”. We advise you to prepare Olivier with fresh cucumber - you won’t regret it.

"Olivier" classic recipe with chicken

For white meat lovers, we suggest taking chicken fillet and adding it instead of sausage. This time you can take smaller potatoes. And leave the rest of the products unchanged. That is, we repeat:

Compound

Green peas of brain varieties - 1 jar
Chicken fillet – 400 grams
Potatoes – 5 pieces
Pickled cucumbers – 3 pieces
Eggs – 5 pieces
Carrots – 2 small pieces
Green onions – 1 bunch
Mayonnaise – 200 grams
Salt and spices to taste

Cooking method

Cook vegetables, chicken, eggs. Cool and clean.
Cut into small cubes. About the size of the same peas that are in the jar.
Knife-deep cucumbers. Drain the brine from the canned food and mix all the resulting products.
Season with mayonnaise and add salt and pepper to taste.
To soak, place in the refrigerator for 2 hours.
Serve in portions. Bon appetit.

Instead of chicken, try boiled beef or turkey if desired. And it’s not bad to add grated apple for juiciness and a pleasant sweet taste. Not only the apple, but also lemon juice and olives will add piquancy to Olivier.

With the appearance of new products on Russian tables, housewives began to add canned corn instead of peas, crab sticks, shrimp, cheese, and exotic fruits to the classic Olivier recipe.

An old classic recipe, from chef Olivier himself

For a long time, Mr. Olivier did not divulge the secret of his salad - he kept it secret. And not everyone was given the opportunity to taste it - the cook used expensive products. Only after death, in 1904, the world saw the main composition.

Caviar as a decoration will add sophistication and piquancy

Ingredients of the old Olivier salad recipe

Hazel grouse meat
Veal tongue
Black caviar
Fresh salad
Crayfish (more precisely, crayfish tails) or lobsters, or shrimp (as I did)
Very small pickles
Soy sauce "Kabul"
Fresh cucumbers
Pickled “Capers” (these are flower buds of the caper plant)
French provencal sauce
Boiled eggs (Olivier himself used them as a decoration)

This is such a rich and not cheap composition.

Cooking process:

As in the classic Soviet recipe, all the necessary ingredients are boiled. The longest is meat. Cool, peel and set into small pieces. We tear the lettuce leaves to the bottom of a common basin.

Mix everything and add homemade mayonnaise (this is me instead of soy sauce). Salt and pepper. Cool in the refrigerator.

Serve on separate dishes and top with black pressed caviar.
