In many families, Olivier salad is no longer perceived as a festive dish.

The dish is prepared so often that its taste ceases to seem bright.

Have you found yourself in such a situation? Then it makes sense to pay attention to the recipe for the salad "Seagull".

Several decades ago, this dish was extremely popular. Modern housewives rarely make this dish.

And in vain. The salad is very tasty and at the same time incredibly easy to prepare.

The expert of the online publication Belnovosti in the field of cooking, chef, fourth-class baker Yulia Arkhipova emphasizes: the dish "Chaika" can be called "an improved version of Olivier."

Seagull salad recipe

You need to boil five eggs, cut them into cubes and put all the resulting pieces into a deep container.

You also need to pour peas there - the whole jar. Of course, without liquid.

Another ingredient is diced onion. It is desirable that the taste of the vegetable is not too bright. If you are afraid that the onion will still become a source of excess bitterness and spiciness, treat it with boiling water in advance.

Now it's time for the secret ingredient, which will give the dish a bright taste and make it more appetizing than Olivier, despite the absence of potatoes and meat.

We are talking about cheese. Two hundred grams of this product must be chopped with a grater and sent to a container in which the other ingredients are already located.

The salad should be seasoned with sour cream and mixed well.

Earlier, gourmets were presented with a recipe for a Greek salad : everyone who tried it was delighted with the dish.
