Olivier will be hopelessly spoiled: what 3 mistakes do housewives make

11.12.2023 11:56

Olivier is too important for our culinary tradition to refuse to prepare it for the holiday table.

If you don't want to unpleasantly surprise your guests with the low quality of your salad, you should protect yourself from the most common mistakes.

What do they consist of?

Giving up salt because of mayonnaise and cucumbers

Some people think that these two products completely cover the need for salt. But this is a misconception. As a result, the salad will seem somehow unfinished and bland.

So don't forget to add at least a pinch of salt.

A large quantity of potatoes

It is understandable that the hostess wants to make the dish more affordable and filling, but there are already a large number of dishes on the holiday table that many people will want to try.

If you add too much potato, the taste of Olivier will simply be "clogged". As a result, the salad will be mediocre at best.

Low quality sausage and mayonnaise

These products are important, because the taste of Olivier will largely depend on them. Sausage should be tried in advance. Only tasty meat products should be included in the salad.

If you don't have a trusted brand of mayonnaise, you should try making the sauce yourself.
