Many women, when visiting a restaurant, often order Olivier salad just to unravel its secrets and subtleties.
Even when visiting, housewives try the dishes of their "competitors" to compare it with their salad.
This is all because this dish is considered one of the most important for our cuisine, noted chef Yulia Arkhipova , an expert on culinary issues for the online publication BelNovosti.
What are the main secrets of the perfect Olivier salad?
Less potatoes, more eggs
It is important to remember that potatoes make the salad heavier and denser. Yes, you will satisfy your hunger faster, but this is not the priority of the salad.
Therefore, we add the potatoes carefully. And thanks to the eggs, the Olivier salad becomes airy.
Slicing
This is, of course, an energy-consuming process, but it is worth it: grind all the ingredients equally. Thanks to this, the taste qualities increase noticeably.
