Olivier salad is one of the traditional New Year's dishes.
For the holiday, many housewives prepare a whole bowl of salad so that all family members and guests can enjoy the dish.
However, a common mistake made with mayonnaise is the common one.
So, some amateur cooks season the entire prepared vegetable-egg-meat mixture with white sauce at once.
How should the hostess act?
Got a whole bowl of unseasoned Olivier? Don't rush to add mayonnaise!
After all, the presence of this sauce seriously reduces the shelf life of the salad.
Olivier, seasoned with mayonnaise, must be eaten within the next few hours. What if the household and guests do not have time to do this? Then the dish will spoil.
To prevent this from happening, you only need to dress the part of the salad that you plan to serve and that you and your loved ones will definitely be able to eat in the near future.
Leave the remaining mixture in the bowl, consisting of peas, chopped eggs, sausage, potatoes, cucumber, carrots and onions, unseasoned and put it in the refrigerator.
In this form, the salad will be stored twice as long as Olivier with mayonnaise. The sauce should be added right before eating the dish.
Earlier we shared a recipe for layered Olivier salad.
