No holiday is complete without a delicious salad.

A festive table without salad "Olivier" is no longer quite a festive table. It's as if something is missing - this aroma of green peas, this freshness.

Salad "Olivier" in its various variations is one of the most popular salads.

The history of the appearance of the salad "Olivier" originates from the second half of the 19th century, when a new restaurant "Hermitage" appeared in Moscow. He quickly became famous for his cuisine. One of the specialties that visitors liked to order was named after the owner, Lucien Olivier. This snack had a very complex composition: grouse, veal tongue, boiled crayfish, caviar and other delicacies. But in general, Olivier's original recipe was kept under a big secret, which was never revealed later.

It is known that the snack consisted mainly of delicacies. Some additives, such as Kabul soy, have completely disappeared from our stores. At the same time, there were no products that make up the modern olivier salad. There were no potatoes, carrots, onions and green peas.

To prepare an olivier salad according to the original recipe, you need to have a sufficient budget, a lot of patience and a little experience in cooking such dishes.

When calculating the cost of products, the difference between the old and Soviet olivier is almost 10 times!

Today I offer you my own version of cooking salad "Olivier" from products that can be found in any store, namely with ham, pickled cucumbers and green peas.
