Even in summer, Olivier salad does not lose its relevance for many people, as the dish is too popular.
However, the fact remains: this dish is too heavy for a summer menu.
Therefore, it is worth knowing what additives would be reasonable to add to Olivier, notes Yulia Arkhipova, an expert on culinary issues for the online publication BelNovosti.
What summer additives for Olivier salad are worth knowing about?
Fresh cucumbers
The salted version, of course, has its advantages, but it should be left for winter and autumn dishes. Summer Olivier should be prepared only with fresh cucumbers.
Boiled or fresh peas
Instead of using the classic canned product, it is better to boil frozen peas or use fresh ones.
The taste of the salad will become much brighter.
Homemade mayonnaise
Some people avoid using mayonnaise altogether, as the sauce is one of the fattest and most caloric. However, it is one of the most important components of Olivier.
Therefore, it is simply worth making homemade mayonnaise to improve the taste of the salad.
