Many variations of the popular salad are so unusual and extraordinary that they bear little resemblance to the classic dish.

Some people prepare Olivier with beef tongue, smoked chicken, lightly salted red fish and even tofu.

If you prefer the classic version of the salad, then you should remember the tricks that can make it several times tastier.

What do they consist of?

More eggs, but less potatoes

The root vegetable will make the salad too dense and heavy. Olivier should not be like that. If you like dishes with a high content of the specified component, it is wiser to prepare a classic potato salad.

But the eggs won't spoil the Olivier. On the contrary, the salad will become airy and tasty.

Dimensions

Experienced cooks know that for a salad it is worth choosing cuts of the same size. Otherwise, the taste will not be as bright and rich.

It is best to use peas as a guide.

Try the sausage

Sausage is the central component of this dish, so it is extremely important to choose a quality and tasty product. Since there are many varieties of cooked sausage, it is worth giving preference to proven options.

Don't forget about salt

Some people believe that using mayonnaise and pickles "frees" you from the need to add salt. However, this belief can result in a very bland salad.

Therefore, at the very end of cooking, do not forget to add salt.
