A familiar salad can be improved.

This requires additional components. For example, you can add apples to the dish, which complement the taste and make it more interesting.

At first glance, it may seem that fruit has no place in a dish that consists of meat, eggs and mayonnaise.

But it is worth noting that the fruit does not interrupt the other ingredients, but improves and complements them.

It is better to choose sour fruits for Olivier. First, the apples should be washed and peeled, then grated or cut into small cubes.

It is worth noting that apples were not always added to Olivier salad.

This method of preparing salad became popular in the 1970s and 1980s, when this affordable and tasty fruit was used in many Soviet salads.

In some recipes, you can see another component - sugar. It was mixed with the sauce, believing that this would make the taste brighter.
