Many housewives are already familiar with almost all the secrets of preparing Olivier salad.

Using quality ingredients, cooking vegetables correctly, cutting ingredients in a certain way, using a non-standard dressing - all this helps to make the dish much more delicious.

However, there is another little trick that not all amateur cooks are aware of.

The action is very simple. At the same time, the result exceeds even the wildest expectations: the taste of Olivier becomes much more expressive.

What to do immediately after preparing Olivier salad

When all the ingredients are mixed and the salad is dressed, it is advisable to add a clean lemon peel to the almost finished dish.

This additive will allow you to fully reveal the taste of other ingredients. The dish will turn out incredibly appetizing.

Of course, you shouldn't eat the lemon peel. After a few minutes, you can remove it from the salad. The peel should only act as a flavor enhancer.

One more trick

You can use not only the citrus peel, but also its juice.

Sour liquid will be a real salvation if for some reason pickles were not added to the salad.

Sprinkling other chopped ingredients with lemon juice will help to give the Olivier salad that very piquant taste (a little sourness + a little spiciness), which is clearly lacking in the absence of the cucumber component.
