Not everyone knows that Olivier salad, the very one that decorates the New Year's table of Soviet citizens, with doctor's sausage, terribly scarce green peas and factory mayonnaise is not at all the salad invented in the 19th century by the famous chef Lucien Olivier. The first recipe for Olivier included gherkins, hazel grouse fillets and other products that are not now in the usual New Year's salad. Over time, the composition of the dish has become simpler and has changed dramatically to the point of being unrecognizable in comparison with its original. Today we will cook Olivier in the Soviet way, according to the canons of Soviet gastronomy. It is simplicity, balanced and affordable.
Despite the fact that Olivier has supplanted more fashionable, modern and exotic salads, the dish still remains extremely popular due to its cheapness and the possibility of experimentation. You can replace missing products with components that are in the refrigerator. When preparing a dish, it is important to observe the proportion of cutting of the components. The food should be cut to the size of the smallest ingredient, in this case green peas. Then it will turn out both delicious and beautiful.
