At first glance, it is very difficult to surprise guests with Olivier salad: the dish, although festive, is also familiar.
In fact, the dish can easily be transformed into something unusual and incredibly appetizing.
This result is achieved by adding a secret ingredient.
Which one exactly? This question was answered by the expert of the online publication Belnovosti in the field of cooking, cook, fourth-class baker Yulia Arkhipova.
What to add to Olivier to make it tasty and tender
That secret additive is… processed cheese.
It is this dairy product that gives the dish its tenderness and unusual taste.
But it is important not to overdo it with the ingredient: one processed cheese is enough for 300 grams of meat, 4 potatoes and 4 boiled eggs.
What to do with the cheese before adding it to the salad
To achieve maximum effect, the product must be pre-frozen.
In other words, just put the processed cheese in the freezer a few hours before you start making Olivier salad.
As a result, you will get a hard “bar” that will be easy to crush.
Important point: you need to add grated cheese to the salad, not diced cheese.
