Recipe "Olivier" salad (Russian salad)

Olivier salad is the main dish at Russian New Year's dinners.

The history of this salad began around 1860. Chef Lucien Olivier, who worked in a Russian restaurant in Moscow, created this recipe. The salad became very popular with customers. With food shortages during the 1917 revolution, the salad recipe was greatly simplified. And so it found its way onto all the tables of the Russian people.

Ingredients:

3-4 potatoes;
1 carrot;
1-2 chicken eggs;
100 g green peas;
3-4 pickles;
200-300 g ham
green onions;
mayonnaise to taste.

Potatoes and carrots should be cooked in their skins. Also boil the eggs until they are hard. If you haven't canned peas, but have frozen peas, they should also be boiled. Once all the boiled products have cooled down, peel and chop them. Potatoes, carrots and eggs, cut into cubes.

Drain the brine from the cucumbers and also cut into cubes. Cut the ham into cubes (you can use smoked sausage).

Chop the green onions, mix all the ingredients and season with mayonnaise.

That's it! Very simple and delicious! Enjoy!
