Most housewives season Olivier salad with mayonnaise.
Many amateur cooks are sure that there are simply no other dressing options for this popular salad.
However, the expert of the online publication Belnovosti in the field of cooking, chef, fourth-class baker Yulia Arkhipova assures: Olivier can be seasoned not only with store-bought sauce.
You can make the salad dressing yourself.
As a result, the dish will be healthier and slightly less caloric. But the most important thing is the improved taste of Olivier.
Salad dressing based on sour cream
Place 250 grams of 20% fat sour cream in a deep container, add half a teaspoon of mustard and a tablespoon of lemon juice.
You also need to add sugar to the mixture (one teaspoon is enough).
After thorough mixing, you will get the perfect dressing, which will make the taste of Olivier much brighter.
Yogurt-Based Salad Dressing
Want to make the salad even less caloric? Then the basis of the dressing should not be sour cream.
The main ingredient should be yogurt. But, of course, not sweet. Use low-calorie Greek yogurt, which does not have any additives.
For 250 grams of this fermented milk product, there should be a teaspoon of mustard and two tablespoons of lemon juice.
If the dressing is not quite fat enough, you can add a tablespoon of vegetable oil.
In addition, the mixture should be lightly salted. And it is also worth adding a little ground pepper.
Earlier, gourmets were told what to add to borscht to make it much more appetizing.
