Today, we will prepare the very salad, without which not a single holiday could do in the days of the USSR - Salad Olivier with sausage.

To start, a little history. The salad was named after the famous French chef Lucien Olivier, who had a restaurant in Moscow in the early 1860s called the Hermitage. Vladimir Gilyarovsky in the book "Moscow and Muscovites" recalled:

It was considered a special chic when dinners were prepared by the French chef Olivier, who even then became famous for the “Olivier salad” invented by him, without which dinner is not lunch, and the secret of which he did not reveal. No matter how hard the gourmets tried, it did not work out: this, but not that.

Indeed, no one has been able to repeat the same real recipe salad Olivier. A recipe more or less close to the original was published in Our Food magazine in March 1894.

During Soviet times, housewives remade this recipe for themselves, and now classic recipe Olivier salad includes a simple set of products that can be bought at any store. Now many chefs make Olivier salad not only with sausage, but also with beef tongue, king crab, ham, chicken, etc.

Well, let's prepare an Olivier salad from the times of the USSR with doctor's sausage.

Ingredients of Olivier salad

• Sausage Doktorskaya 500 gr.
• Canned green peas 1 bank.
• Chicken egg 6 pcs.
• Potatoes 5 pcs. (medium)
• Carrot 3 pcs. (medium)
• Fresh cucumber 100 gr.
• Pickled cucumber 150 gr.
• Green onion 20 gr.
• Dill 10 gr.
• Salt and Pepper to taste.
• Mayonnaise to taste.

Olivier salad with sausage step by step recipe

1. Rinse potatoes and carrots well (no need to peel) and cook until tender. I sometimes cook vegetables in this way - I peel them, cut the potatoes into a medium cube, carrots into a slightly smaller cube and cook together until tender. Thanks to this method, you do not need to wait until the vegetables have cooled in order to peel and cut them.
2. Boil the eggs in a steep - 8 minutes after boiling water.
3. Doctor's sausage and cucumbers cut into medium cubes. I recommend peeling a fresh cucumber from the skin with the help of a housekeeper.
4. Peel the boiled and cooled vegetables, cut into medium cubes. Chicken eggs remove the shell and chop finely with a knife.
5. Drain liquid from green peas. Finely chop the green onion and dill.
6. Combine all ingredients in a suitable bowl, add salt, pepper and mayonnaise. Mix everything thoroughly and serve in a beautiful plate.
7. Enjoy your meal!

To be honest, I rarely cook this salad. And not because it is winter. It's just too filling, in my opinion. But, as they say, there are no comrades for the taste and color. For example, my husband does not particularly favor him, and the children eat with pleasure. From time to time I experiment, I cook this salad for him again - what if he likes it? Here it is this time. I gathered all the ingredients and cooked Olivier with sausage, as in the photo, but seasoned it differently than usual. But what I seasoned and how I cooked, read on.

In fact, there is nothing complicated. The composition is available to everyone, the proportions are almost equal. It is better to take dairy sausage, of good quality, or mix equally with smoked sausage. Fresh cucumber is not exactly a winter ingredient, but if you suddenly found it, you will not regret it if you chop it up.

Ingredients

Step by step cooking

Combine all ingredients in one large bowl. Season with homemade mayonnaise or sour cream, or mix both ingredients in equal proportions. I generally do without mayonnaise. By the way, without onions too - I don’t like its aftertaste. What needs to be done to make it tasty, we will find out further.

video recipe

1. So that the salad does not have an onion aftertaste, I pre-pickle the onions. Briefly tell you how: 2 pcs. bay leaf, 1 tsp. unrefined vegetable oil, 1 tsp vinegar, 1 tsp. sugar and the same amount of salt. 10-15 minutes - and you're done. Suitable even as an independent dish.
2. I salt the water in which vegetables are boiled. From this, their taste becomes more saturated.
3. Do not leave cooked vegetables in water, otherwise they will fall apart.
4. If time permits, I like to bake potatoes and carrots in the oven at 200 degrees. I wrap each vegetable in foil, and then all the vitamins are preserved in them, and when cut, they keep their shape.
5. My last advice: instead of mayonnaise, take sour cream, mix with pounded egg yolk and a little mustard. Try it and don't say thank you.

Benefit or harm: which is more

A salad prepared at home is much healthier than a store-bought one. Judge for yourself - all the products included in Olivier are individually useful:

• eggs are a source of protein and amino acids;
• potatoes - due to fiber, it lowers the level of cholesterol in the blood;
• pickles - regulate the water-salt balance, and salad with fresh cucumber just a storehouse of vitamins;
• green peas - a source of vegetable protein and fiber;
• carrots - strengthens eyesight.

Only sausage and mayonnaise can spoil the reputation. But even for them, I find an excuse or an alternative: instead of mayonnaise - low-fat natural yogurt or sour cream with mustard, instead of sausage - boiled meat.

But let's be realistic. The combination of seven ingredients in such quantities in which we usually cook leads to such undesirable consequences as:

So even after you have replaced products with safer ones, it is still better to follow the measure: 100 g of salad per day will be more than enough.

5 other options

Did you know that classic Olivier is cooked only with boiled beef? Yes, this is the same salad that you remember from childhood: hearty, bright, reminiscent of warmth and home comfort.

The highlight of this dish is smoked chicken. Mix it with boiled chicken fillets or thighs. At the end, you will get a gentle, juicy dish with a spicy hint of smoked meats.

• With apple and gherkins

Apple sourness will be lost among the pieces of eggs, cucumbers and meat, giving the appetizer lightness and airiness. Apples, at least a little, but they will move us away from the heaviness in the stomachs and bring us closer to graceful figures. Perhaps this is the easiest version of Olivier known.

Conclusion

Today's Olivier with boiled sausage is a jump into the Soviet past. During a food shortage, we were truly happy to prepare such a dish for a family celebration. Today, we make it with caution, taking care of our health and looking for only high quality sausage.
