The salad for Russians, invented in Moscow by a Frenchman, was and is popular, and proudly bears the name of the creator. We propose not to ignore the tradition of "Olivier for the New Year", but to prepare a new, interesting version. There are three non-banal recipes and a bit of history to choose from.
The fashion for the French language and cuisine did not leave Russia for several centuries. Marriages, nannies, infanta-learners and servants intermingled. A French family that had been living in Moscow for a long time lived with a modest average income. By a happy coincidence, for example, acquaintance with one of the most influential merchants of the city, the youngest of the sons opens the Hermitage restaurant on Trubnaya Square. One of the first menus says "Mayonnaise with game." Here they prepared boiled hazel grouse fillets seasoned with French sauce, and served a dish with boiled potatoes and a couple of gherkins. Over time, the fillet and potato slices became smaller, ingredients were added. By 1904, when the whole of Moscow was already going to the “Olivier salad”, it included the same hazel grouse, potatoes, veal tongue, black caviar, crayfish and lobster, gherkins and kabul sauce, capers, boiled egg, fresh cucumber and mayonnaise. The dish has become the hallmark of the restaurant.
Boiled potatoes - 1 pc., Lightly salted cucumber - 0.5 pcs., Fresh cucumber - 0.5 pcs., Boiled guinea fowl fillet - 70 g, boiled beef tongue - 50 g, crab meat - 50 g, guinea fowl egg - 1 pcs., quail egg - 1 pc., mayonnaise - 60 g, red caviar - 10 g, black caviar - 10 g.
Cut boiled potatoes, lightly salted and fresh cucumbers, guinea fowl fillet, boiled veal tongue into small cubes. Add crab meat, which needs to be broken into pieces with your hands. Slice the boiled guinea fowl egg. Season with mayonnaise and mix. Put the salad in a serving ring and garnish with greens and halves of boiled quail eggs with black and red caviar.
The revolution of 1917 was the first to interfere with the recipe, cutting off the opportunity to get most of the "refined" products that were now considered forbidden. The difficult 30s and the war also did not have a positive effect on the gastronomy of the country. By that time, Olivier was already quite reminiscent of the current version - boiled potatoes and carrots, onions and cucumbers, apples and poultry meat, boiled eggs, peas and mayonnaise.
Boil shrimp in salted water, drain and set aside. Boil quail eggs, cool and peel. Cut pickles and cucumbers into cubes, add shrimp meat, eggs cut in half, put in a bowl. Mix mayonnaise with horseradish and dress the salad. Serve in portions, putting a little caviar on top. (If you are preparing a large dish, you can season the salad with pike caviar, gently mixing it with the rest of the ingredients).
Bake potatoes and carrots, cool and cut into cubes. Cut the celery into small cubes and, together with the peas, simmer in salted boiling water for 2-3 minutes. Cut cucumbers, onions, hard-boiled eggs, marinate Turkey for 15 minutes in a mixture of soy sauce and honey, bake in the oven at 180C for 30-35 minutes. Mix sour cream with mustard and chopped dill. Stuff the chopped vegetables with the mixture. Serve salad with chicken slices on top.
Boil the beef, adding onions and carrots to a pot of water, salt towards the end of cooking. Boil potatoes. Cool everything and cut into cubes. Cut the olives into 2 pieces. Chop onions, cucumbers, add peas. Boil the eggs, cut the protein into cubes. Mix all ingredients. Grind the yolks with mayonnaise, salt and dress the salad.

I really wanted to try the French Olivier. It is clear that a real French Olivier cannot be mastered according to an old recipe; a salad of hazel grouse, crayfish, capers and black caviar is being prepared. And the famous chef Olivier, who invented this dish, did not leave the original recipe for the sauce to anyone. But this salad, although not French, is very tasty!
The proportions of the salad are given for a fairly large group of eaters - approximately 10 to 13 people. According to the recipe, you need to take 200 grams of peeled shrimp. However, if you take frozen in shell, you need to take 500 gr of such shrimp. Boil, clean - it will turn out just 200 gr.
Compound:
Potatoes - 4 pcs. (400 gr)
Chicken meat (you can breast) - 600 gr
Shrimp medium peeled - 200 gr
Pickled cucumbers (can be salted) - 200 gr
Carrot - 1 pc. (150-170 gr)
Eggs - 5 pcs.
Canned green peas - 1.5 cans (350-400 gr)
Onion - 1 pc. (100-130 gr)
Salt - 1 tsp
Ground black pepper - 2-3 pinches
Mayonnaise - 7-10 tbsp. spoons
Cooking:
First you need to cook chicken, potatoes, shrimp, carrots, eggs. If you have 4 free burners on the stove, put 4 pans at once.
The first pot is for boiling the eggs. Rinse the eggs in running water. Dip into a pot of cold water. Boil for 10 minutes. Take out. Let cool.
Second pot for cooking vegetables. It should be roomy (2-2.5 liters) so that the vegetables do not peek out of the water. Pour water into it and let it boil. Do not salt. At this time, thoroughly wash the potatoes and carrots. Put vegetables in boiling water, this will reduce the loss of nutrients and vitamins. Slightly reduce the heat and cook for 25-30 minutes.
The potatoes will be ready before the carrots. You can check readiness by piercing - if the potato is easily pierced with the tip of a knife, it can be removed from the pan. After 5 minutes, the carrots will be ready. Remove vegetables from water and let cool.
The third pan is for cooking chicken. Boil water. While the water is boiling, wash the meat under running water, remove unnecessary films, etc. Put the chicken meat in boiling water - the protein will be "sealed", which will give more juicy meat as a result. Boil the chicken for 30 minutes. You need to salt the meat 10 minutes before it is ready, again, in order to preserve more nutrients and juiciness of the meat. For a guideline, 1/2 tsp is enough. salt per 2 liters of water. Then remove the chicken meat from the broth. Let cool.
The fourth pot is for the shrimp. Boil 1 liter of water, lower the shrimp.
Make a minimum fire, hold the shrimp in water for 5-7 minutes. Do not allow the shrimp to boil and stay in boiling water for a long time - they will become tough. Then take out the shrimp. Let cool.
All ingredients for the salad must be chopped and mixed. The subtlety here is to chop the vegetables finely, into cubes of the same size - the size of peas, which is part of the salad. So, while the ingredients of the future Olivier salad are being cooked on the stove, you can cut the pickles first. Get rid of the ends of the cucumber and cut the cucumber itself into cubes. Place the chopped cucumbers in a large salad bowl.
Cut chicken meat. Pour into a salad bowl.
Cut carrots. Pour into a salad bowl.
When the boiled eggs and potatoes have cooled, you need to peel them and cut them into cubes. Pour into a salad bowl.
Before adding the peas, carefully drain the liquid - it should not get into the salad.
Peel chitin from shrimp (if unpeeled shrimp were cooked). Pour into a salad bowl.
Next, you need to prepare the onions for the salad. Peel the onion, cut into cubes.
Transfer the onion to a colander and boil some water. The onion needs to be scalded with boiling water - quickly and evenly pour it with water. So the onion will no longer give a characteristic bitterness. Drain all the water from the onion, then transfer it to the salad.
Mix all ingredients.
Salt, pepper and season with mayonnaise. Salt and pepper are desirable to add after dressing, but you can also before it. Focus on your taste, usually no more than 1/2 tsp is added. salt and 2 pinches of pepper. The amount of mayonnaise is approximately 8 tbsp. spoons.
And in order not to overeat enough high-calorie Olivier salad, you can make portioned glasses with salad. Put all the ingredients in a glass in layers and add mayonnaise on top. Bon appetit!
