The salad that a housewife can please everyone with is Olivier. The only exception is a special recipe that spoils the taste and aftertaste.

It's simply shameful not to know about the ingredients that have no place in a folk salad. We'll tell everyone who hasn't remembered or doesn't know about it.

Acceptable recipe

In addition to fresh and cooked vegetables, and also sausage with peas, housewives should remember about pickled cucumbers.

This ingredient is responsible for the special sourness. Some people prefer pickled cucumbers.

There are cooks who decide to make a desperate experiment and add pickled zucchini instead of cucumbers. But even in this case, the salad is still suitable for consumption.

A much more piquant and fresh taste can be achieved if you use olives instead of cucumbers, zucchini, squash and other plant foods.

All these ingredients will not spoil the salad, but will make its taste more original.

Better not to add

You can find recipes where cooks advise including capers in the recipe instead of pickled vegetables.

Professionals claim that it is this product that spoils the salad irreparably.

The thing is that even unlike the same pickled squash, capers are quite tough.

And if you are unlucky with the peas, the salad will turn out dry, no matter how much mayonnaise the hostess adds to it.
