How to prepare a delicious Olivier salad according to the classic recipe
Wash all the selected vegetables thoroughly under warm water and, without peeling them, send them to cook. I cook potatoes along with carrots and eggs in one pan; you can cook everything separately.
If you threw the products into the pan all together, then the eggs should be removed 8 minutes after the water boils, the carrots after 15 minutes and the potatoes after about 25-30 minutes.
After cooking, immerse both the eggs and the potatoes and carrots in cold water; this will cool them faster, and the skins of the vegetables and the shells of the eggs will be easy to remove.
One of the features of the recipe is a delicious Olivier salad! Do not overcook the vegetables, otherwise you simply will not be able to cut them, they will crumble and lose all their beneficial properties. Food should be cooked in lightly salted water.
We clean the cooled products and carefully cut everything into medium-sized cubes on a large plate. I cut vegetables and eggs about the size of peas, so the components of the dish look very aesthetically pleasing.
We cut the boiled sausage into the same shape and place it on a plate with other products.
Open the jar of peas, carefully drain all the peas and add the product to the other ingredients, leaving a couple of spoons in the jar to decorate the salad.
Chop the cucumber into cubes, add it to a plate, add salt to taste, add pepper on the tip of a knife, and mix everything.
Season the food with homemade or purchased sauce (mayonnaise), once again carefully, so as not to grind the food, mix everything.
The classic pea salad is ready, all that remains is to arrange it beautifully in salad bowls and decorate the top with the peas and fresh herbs left for this.
On a note! You can make your own mayonnaise for dressing; it will be much healthier, because your product will not contain any preservatives.
Homemade mayonnaise recipe for Olivier salad
To prepare homemade mayonnaise, you need to beat 3 yolks with a blender with a pinch of salt and sugar (beat until a thick foam forms), add to them 150 ml of vegetable oil, which should be added while continuing to beat the products in a thin stream. Then add 2 tablespoons of table vinegar to the ingredients, beat for about seven more, maybe ten minutes, until the mass becomes thick.
Everything is ready, now you can season your salads with this natural, tasty and healthy dressing. If you wish, you can add a little of any greenery you like to your personal sauce.
