Video recipe: Classic salad "Olivier" with chicken

Step by step recipe with photos and videos

Olivier salad is the first and most important appetizer on the New Year's table for most Russians. It so happened that this wonderful holiday is not complete without him. For me "Olivier" is home, warmth and comfort. I don't even think about buying this dish in a store or cafe, because such a salad is truly family, homemade. And you need to cook it with your family. And in order not to waste a lot of time, you can cook according to a simple recipe. We will do so today!

The simplest is probably the sausage salad. But we are not her fans, so we cook from chicken fillet. It will turn out to be a very low-fat dish. Everything else is classic ingredients: potatoes, carrots, eggs, pickles and green peas. The salad itself is prepared quickly, but preparation for cooking will take time. Boil potatoes and carrots, cool and peel. Do the same with the eggs. I also boil the fillet, let's say the option of baking the chicken in the oven. Well, in advance, you also need to pickle the cucumbers! Okay, this component can be purchased at the store.

We fill the classic "Olivier" with mayonnaise. Loved and irreplaceable. But if you do follow a low-calorie diet, use sour cream or at least a mixture of it with mayonnaise. So you will significantly reduce the fat content of the dish!

The ingredients for a simple classic salad "Olivier" with chicken are ready! We start cooking.

Cut the peeled and cooled potatoes into small cubes.

Cut the same carrots into small cubes.

Cut the chicken fillet across the dietary fiber, cut into small pieces.

An egg with a crumbling knife.

Cut the pickled cucumbers into small cubes.

Immediately after cutting, put the vegetables in one container.

Pour in a jar of canned peas and mix thoroughly.

We shift the desired amount of salad to the serving dish, add salt and pepper to taste, add mayonnaise. Stir and serve.

The classic salad "Olivier" with chicken is ready! Enjoy your meal!

Important additions to the recipe

You can boil and prepare the ingredients for cutting in advance, for example, the day before the holiday.

• Season the prepared salad, salt and pepper just before serving. This will extend the shelf life of the snack.
• If serving on a festive table, use the hollow portion salad molds, as I did. This will make the appetizer more presentable.
• In the classic "Olivier" with chicken, you can and should put fresh herbs, if any.
