Is it possible to make healthy Olivier salad: a recipe from a nutritionist

Everyone now knows what Olivier is and how to cook it. The original recipe and the recipe of Soviet housewives are known.

Nutritionists do not speak very highly of such delicacies. But there is a chance to prepare your favorite New Year's salad, and maybe even tastier than usual.

Mayonnaise [should] be replaced with low-fat sour cream or natural yogurt. If you really want mayonnaise, dilute it 50 to 50, - nutritionist Elena Solomatina told NEWS.ru.

But mayonnaise is not the only ingredient whose health benefits experts question.

In order for Olivier to turn into a healthy salad, you will have to replace almost all the key ingredients.

Sausage

Firstly, it is not in the original recipe. Secondly, it is healthier to add boiled chicken or turkey breast to the salad.

Boiled beef or veal is no worse than poultry.

Eggs

There are no complaints about the protein. We'll have to deal with the egg yolk. It is recommended to use it to a minimum.

Potato

It is recommended to replace boiled potatoes with Jerusalem artichoke, celery or apple. The salad will only benefit from this.

Cucumber and peas

And finally, the nutritionist recommends using fresh cucumber. Peas can be left, but it is better to choose sugar-free preserves.
