A salad, without which not a single New Year's table is complete - the "New Year's Olivier" salad. I propose to find out another version of this traditional food. Step-by-step recipe with a photo. Video recipe.
On New Year's Eve, even the simplest salad can become magical. Moreover, it is not even necessary to use expensive products or somehow especially decorate the food. Today we will make New Year's Olivier according to the good old classic recipe, using milk sausage, pickled cucumbers, boiled potatoes with eggs and carrots, and canned green peas. Although, if you want, you can replace the boiled sausage with boiled chicken fillet, or add both of these ingredients. And I recommend using high-quality, fresh and preferably homemade eggs, then the salad will be much tastier. You can also add chopped green onions.
Despite the fact that Olivier salad is considered the national favorite New Year's dish, it can be prepared on any other holidays and even weekdays. With this salad, any small family holiday or ordinary dinner will become brighter, more fun and tastier. And if you want to make a more festive serving of the salad, then serve it in portioned glass glasses, sand baskets or tartlets.
