What dish can be made for the holiday table? Among the most popular options is Olivier.
This particular salad is distinguished by its relative simplicity of preparation and at the same time incredibly bright taste.
However, the constant use of a standard set of ingredients (sausage, potatoes, eggs, onions, peas, mayonnaise) has led to the fact that many gourmets have ceased to perceive the dish as festive.
In such a situation, it makes sense to reconsider the composition of the dish. However, there is no need to take serious risks.
Using just one non-standard ingredient will help to noticeably update Olivier and add zest to the salad.
What to add to Olivier salad
A component such as lightly salted salmon will help to seriously transform the taste of a traditional holiday dish.
The fish will provide the dish with tenderness and piquant taste. The salad will be perceived in a completely different way.
Of course, adding salmon means eliminating the use of sausage in the dish.
In addition, the presence of a fish ingredient eliminates the need for the cook to add pickles to the Olivier salad.
If you don’t want to give up the vegetable component, then instead of cucumbers from a jar, you can put chopped fresh fruits in the salad.
