Throughout the winter holidays, Olivier salad is prepared almost every day so that there is something to treat guests and family members with.
Therefore, the salad must always be perfect.
The important point is to prepare the vegetables correctly.
Carrots, for example, can completely lose their taste. But onions will spoil the dish with their bitterness. If you do everything right, the vegetables will only decorate the salad.
How to properly add these ingredients to Olivier salad
Carrot
If you want to enjoy the pleasant taste of carrots, it is better to use an oven instead of a saucepan. You will be simply amazed at the quality of carrots.
If you don't want to bake, you need to cook carrots correctly. It is recommended to initially chop the vegetable into cubes and put it in water.
Onion
The situation with onions is more complicated. Some housewives pour boiling water over the chopped vegetable and then add it to the Olivier salad. But there is a risk of overcooking the component. And boiled onions will not be the best addition to the salad.
Therefore, we choose marinating. To do this, we put the chopped onion into a container, which we "season" with two large spoons of oil, a small spoon of vinegar and a pinch of sugar and salt.
