Olivier salad is a traditional salad dish in Russian cuisine. It is also very popular in other European countries, Iran, Israel, Mongolia and Latin America. Nowadays there are several recipes of this salad.
Traditionally it is made with diced boiled potatoes, carrots, pickles, green peas, boiled eggs, onions, celeriac, tart apples and diced boiled chicken (or, sometimes, ham). The salad is dressed with mayonnaise. Salt, pepper and mustard are added as well to enhance the flavour.
In Russia, Ukraine and other post-Soviet states this salad has become a real must-have during the celebration of New Year. It is served in nearly every household.
The original version of the salad was invented in the 1860s by a Belgian chef, Lucien Olivier. At that time he worked in Hermitage, one of Moscow’s most celebrated restaurants. The salad very quickly became a specialty dish which everyone wanted to try.
The exact recipe, particularly that of the dressing, was kept a secret. Today’s popular version of Olivier salad only faintly resembles Olivier’s original creation. It is known as a version of Ivanov’s Stolichny salad.
