Did you know that to turn your boring Olivier salad into “something new and unusual,” you only need to replace one ingredient?
The updated salad will be a real culinary masterpiece.
All guests will be delighted: they will clearly begin to wonder about the secret of such an appetizing Olivier salad.
The trick is simple: you just need to avoid adding a component such as pickles to the dish.
This recommendation was shared by the expert of the online publication Belnovosti in the field of cooking, chef, fourth-class baker Yulia Arkhipova.
How to replace cucumbers in Olivier salad
An ideal alternative to this ingredient is... pickled mushrooms.
They are the ones that make the taste of the dish much more refined.
A similar result can be achieved by replacing pickles with olives.
Thanks to this addition, the salad will acquire an unusual, but very interesting taste: gourmets will love it.
Don't have any of the above ingredients? Then you'll probably find sauerkraut!
Yes, this additive is not as good as mushrooms or olives, but it is still not bad.
Sauerkraut will refresh the taste of Olivier: the salad will no longer be perceived as “standard”, “ordinary” and “boring”.
