Create an atmosphere of comfort at home by preparing everyone’s favorite Olivier salad. Along with exotic dishes, such a dish will not be lost, but rather will arouse keen interest.
Ingredients:
- Boiled sausage – 250 g.
- Canned peas – 200 g.
- Potato – 250 g.
- Pickled cucumbers – 150 g.
- Chicken eggs – 2-3 pcs.
- Chicken eggs – 130 g.
- Salt, black pepper – to taste.
How to cook:
1. First of all, put the potatoes in their uniforms to boil. Simmer until soft about 20 minutes. Also hard boil chicken eggs – boil them in boiling water for 8 minutes. Proka boiled potatoes and eggs, cut those foods that are already ready and do not need to be cooked. Peel the boiled sausage from the packaging film and cut into medium cubes.
The better and tastier the sausage, the more fragrant the salad will turn out.
2. Pickled cucumbers also cut into cubes. In a salad, they will give a pleasant sourness.
I do not recommend using barrel cucumbers – they are too sour and sharp in taste.
3. Pour chopped sausage and cucumbers into a deep bowl.
4. Peel and chop boiled chicken eggs. Cut the eggs into cubes.
5. Pour the chopped eggs into the salad. With them, the dish will turn out more satisfying.
6. Drain any marinade liquid from the peas and stir in the beans. Peas should be tasty and soft. Taste it before adding it to the dish.
7. The potatoes were just cooked and cooled down. Clean it and cut it into cubes.
8. Add potatoes to Olivier. Salt and pepper the salad to taste.
9. Mix it well so that all the ingredients are evenly combined.
10. Dress the salad with mayonnaise and mix again. Provencal mayonnaise is excellent for dressing.
11. Let it soak and brew in the refrigerator for 30 minutes, then serve.
On New Year’s Eve, “Soviet” Olivier will cheer you up, no one will definitely remain hungry!
Bon appetit!
