What is New Year without Olivier? Its recipe is simple and familiar to most. But for those who want variety, a salad recipe with 5 different filler options will be useful.
It is necessary
- Potatoes - 10 medium potatoes
- Carrots - 5 medium carrots
- Chicken eggs - 10 pieces;
- Boiled sausage - 150g (option 1);
- Boiled beef tongue - 150g (option 2);
- Red salted fish (salmon, salmon, trout, etc.) - 150g (option 3);
- Boiled chicken or turkey fillet - 150g (option 4);
- Boiled beef - 150g (option 5);
- Pickled or pickled cucumbers - 5 medium cucumbers
- Canned green peas - 5 tablespoons;
- Mayonnaise (preferably homemade) - 500g;
- Salt to taste.
Instructions
Step 1
All ingredients must be prepared in advance, and by the time the salad is cut, they must be cooled. Wash potatoes and carrots well, but do not peel them, and send them to boil in salted water. Keep in mind that carrots and potatoes take different time to cook, so if you cook them together, use a knife to test the cookiness and take out what is cooked right away.
Step 2
Boil eggs hard-boiled. This means that after boiling water, you need to cook them for no more than 7 minutes, and after this time, immediately pour cold water.
Step 3
Leave the boiled vegetables and eggs to cool to room temperature, and then put them in the refrigerator.
Step 4
Cooking sausage, meat or fish - buy, boil, salt, cut into small cubes, store in the refrigerator in separate containers until serving. If there are a lot of guests, then you can serve different versions of the salad right away, but it is better to choose one thing, and leave the other options for other days. You can choose only those fillers that you like best, but then adjust the amount.
Step 5
Cut chilled potatoes, carrots and eggs into small cubes, mix and store this mixture in the refrigerator, without mixing with the rest of the ingredients before serving - it keeps longer.
Step 6
1 hour before serving, we take out 1/5 of the vegetable mixture and add one of the main ingredients there - sausage, meat or fish. Cut 1 pickled cucumber into small cubes, add green peas. Mix everything, season with mayonnaise. mix again and salt, if necessary. By the way, see the article "How to make homemade mayonnaise quickly" for the recipe for homemade mayonnaise.
Step 7
In the same way, we quickly prepare and serve all other options.
Be sure to try the Olivier version with lightly salted fish - pickles and mayonnaise go well with it.
