Not every housewife can prepare Olivier salad so that it looks decent and appetizing.
Sometimes the salad looks a bit untidy because the ingredients are all lumped together, which doesn't look very appetizing.
Typically, three common mistakes lead to this result.
What do they consist of?
Incorrect selection of potatoes and preparation errors
The most important task of a cook is to cook potatoes correctly. The root vegetable should hold its shape and not fall apart in a salad.
This should be taken into account when choosing a root vegetable. Also, after cooking, the potatoes need to be completely cooled. Only then can you start cutting them.
Canned peas
This component makes Olivier brighter and tastier, but sometimes it is precisely because of it that the salad cannot be prepared aesthetically. Therefore, it is worth remembering that it is extremely important to completely remove moisture from the peas.
To do this, drain the liquid, but leave the peas in a colander for at least half an hour.
Refueling
Remember that you should only season the Olivier salad before serving, otherwise the dish may "float". It is also worth considering the fact that the mayonnaise should not be too liquid.
