Explanation
We offer an improved recipe for the "Winter" salad or, as it is also called, the Olivier salad (in honor of the chef Lucien Olivier). The recipe of Olivier himself, they say, has not been repeated by anyone yet. In its composition original salad included hazel grouse, and a special mayonnaise based on Provence oils, which is not easy to get in an ordinary store. But boiled vegetables, eggs and the meat component of the salad are available to everyone. These are the main ingredients for the traditional "Winter", more often New Year's salad.
We improve the salad by adding two meat components to it: boiled sausage(best of all "Doctor's" with a pleasant milky taste) and boiled chicken breast.
This salad is prepared very simply, it is only important not to forget about any ingredient. Boil everything that can be boiled and cut into cubes. Just do not touch the green peas, let them be round.
The beauty of the salad is that the salted (pickled) cucumber can be easily replaced with a fresh one.
Cooking
1. Cook potatoes, carrots and eggs until tender. We do not peel potatoes and carrots, rinse well with water before cooking.
Carrots will cook quickly (depending on the size of 7-10 minutes).
Hard boiled eggs will be ready in 10 minutes from the moment the water boils.
And the potatoes need to be given time to cook (30 minutes at least).
While the vegetables and eggs are cooking, prepare the other ingredients.
2. Cut the boiled sausage into squares, put it in a salad bowl.
3. We clean the onion, finely chop the onion, put it in a salad bowl.
4. Put green peas in a salad bowl.
5. Peel cucumbers (fresh or salted), cut into squares and put in a salad bowl.
6. The readiness of vegetables can be checked with a knife, if it easily enters, then the vegetables are cooked. Fill the pan with cold water (cool the food - stop the cooking process).
We check the carrots for readiness, it should become soft (we take it out earlier so that it does not get digested along with the potatoes). Peel, cut into squares, put in a salad bowl.
7. Cook the chicken breast fillet. Add some salt to the water for taste. You can cut the fillet into pieces, so it will cook faster (no more than 10 minutes).
8. While the chicken breast is cooking, prepare the potatoes. The potatoes have had time to cool, peel them, cut them into squares and put them in a salad bowl.
9. Chicken breast ready, cool it down. Cut into squares or just finely cut, put in a salad bowl.
10. The eggs have cooled, we clean them and cut them into squares. It is most convenient to cut the egg, holding it in the palm of your hand (first along, turn over, cut again along, then across). Put in a salad bowl.
11. Dress the salad with mayonnaise and sour cream (you can only mayonnaise or only sour cream). Stir gently and thoroughly, adding a little sauce. The salad should not be oversaturated with mayonnaise (sour cream) and should not be dry.
It is better not to salt the salad, it is already seasoned with mayonnaise and, in addition, each guest can handle it himself if necessary.
12. The salad is ready. Its weight was almost 1600 g. The salad turned out to be very tasty. It is not necessary to insist in the refrigerator, decorate with herbs and serve.

How to decorate a dish
Such salads can be served in a common salad bowl or in portions. In the latter case, draw thick sauce(for example, pomegranate) pattern around the edge of the plate, place a confectionery ring or detachable form, and use them to form a serving of salad. Both dishes can be sprinkled with finely chopped herbs: dill or parsley, green onions.
If you decide to make a salad with Chinese cabbage, sprinkle it on top with flax grains or garnish with bell pepper rings. But sprinkle the salad with sausage on top with peas.
- To boiled eggs simply and beautifully cleaned, put them in cold water immediately after cooking.
- If the onion is too sharp, pour boiling water over it for two to three minutes.
- Mushrooms will be tastier if they are not salted when frying, but add a little soy sauce. This is done at the end, when the liquid has almost evaporated.
- Do not pour out the broth after boiling the breast - you can make a delicious dietary soup out of it.
- Vegetables for the second version of the salad can not only be boiled, but also baked. And in the first case, try baking chicken fillet.
- If necessary, boil the ingredients for dishes in advance. This will greatly speed up the cooking process.
- Try to take small cucumbers - cut them faster, and the taste will turn out to be more saturated.
- If there is very little time, the first version of the dish can not be laid out in layers, but mixed in a salad bowl. So it will soak in faster.
How and with what to serve the dish
Such salads can be served both in a common salad bowl, and in portions - on plates or in bowls. A dish with sausage is very original served in tartlets.
As for the "neighbors on the table", the traditional Soviet version, which combines winter salad with sausage, has practically outlived its usefulness. A salad with Beijing cabbage can be combined with, and both of the dishes described above will quite "get along" with. It is better to serve such dishes at the very beginning of the feast, as snacks. They go well with cold meat cuts, sandwiches.
Other preparation and filling options
With the advent of frosty days, many housewives are thinking about how to change the menu in such a way that there are enough vitamins in the diet, and nutritious meals turned out, and from the budget not to "fly out". This question also worried me, and the decision came literally by itself - to introduce special “winter salads” into everyday dishes with simple, but healthy ingredients, which are prepared according to simple recipes.
I tried a lot of options, from my husband’s favorite “vodka”, with pickles and peas, to numerous options on the theme of beans, Chinese cabbage and frozen vegetable mixes. Not all experiments were successful, but it is these two options that justify themselves one hundred percent. Nevertheless, you can change the composition of the "Winter" salad, depending on your own preferences and those products that are in the refrigerator:
- Recipe classic dish with sausage will be no less successful if you replace it with boiled, baked or even smoked meat.
- As for the winter salad with Beijing cabbage, it will be very tasty with fresh, not pickled cucumber - in this case, replace the dressing described in the recipe with a mixture of olive oil and lemon juice, but instead onion take green.
- If desired, season both options with sour cream or unsweetened yogurt. Try adding a couple of tablespoons of soy sauce.
- Try marinating the onion in the mixture apple cider vinegar, salt and sugar - so the dishes will acquire a spicy sourness.
- If fresh sweet pepper is not at hand, you can use frozen: stew it a little in a pan. This will evaporate excess moisture, and the vegetable itself will acquire a richer flavor.
In the summer, it is an ordinary dish, but in winter, hydroponic tomatoes or cucumbers contain many times less useful substances. cook winter options salads according to my recipes - and you will provide required amount vitamins in the diet, and also get a real gastronomic pleasure.
