Salad "Olivier": recipes with sausage, meat, fish, lean and original

There are many cooking options for this French-Russian salad. Culinary specialists tailored it to their preferences, replacing the original products with more affordable ones. However, there is a basic, classic recipe.

Double classic

Two recipes for this salad can be called classic at once. The one suggested by Mr. Olivier. And the one that became beloved by the Soviet mistresses. They have little in common.

Modern snack options

Olivier is considered a traditional New Year's salad. But the New Year's feast falls precisely on the period of fasting. How to be the one who observes it? Or those who don’t eat meat at all? There are options for any occasion.

The lean Olivier recipe is not much different from the base. You need to replace regular mayonnaise with lean. Sausage or meat - for mushrooms. Canned (for example, champignons) will cope better with this role, since boiled ones do not have a very pronounced taste.

Vegetarians can also cook Olivier without changing their dietary principles. Remove the meat component, replacing it with canned mushrooms. Leave all vegetables. Eggs replaced with Adyghe cheese (if permissible). You can add an apple to your taste, it will add a spicy touch to the salad. The presence of onions and herbs in the salad is not prohibited. Dressing in this embodiment is a vegetarian mayonnaise.

There are versions of snacks for those who like fish more than meat. And also for connoisseurs of "rich" food.
