I would like to offer you a very interesting version of the Olivier salad with beef and fresh cucumbers. This recipe is from my childhood, and one story is connected with it …

Many years ago, Olivier salad was prepared only for some holidays, and there was no question of preparing it simply for no reason. At the age of 7 I managed to get to the hospital, and everything brought there was carefully checked by nurses so that parents would not pass on prohibited products to children. When my mother asked me what I wanted, I immediately gave out - "Olivier". But you cannot eat such food, and there is no way to transfer it. Mom "took" me through the window during a quiet hour into the park area, where she successfully fed the cooked "Olivier". The sausage was replaced with boiled beef and pickles were replaced with fresh pickles. Mom filled the salad with sour cream, since it was absolutely impossible to eat mayonnaise. Then, of course, I did not accept these changes with great joy and still wanted that other salad. I appreciated it only when I became an adult and asked my mother what was in the composition. She told me a secret. Since that time, I periodically return to this version of the salad and I advise you to try it.

Now let's prepare the necessary products from the list. Beef is cooked for about an hour, so if you are going to prepare a salad, make sure to cook the meat in advance. You also need to boil eggs and potatoes.

Cut the cooled meat into pieces.

Peel the boiled eggs and cut them into cubes.

Dice a fresh cucumber and chop the green onion. Mom cooked without onions, but I still decided to add them.

Also dice the potatoes.

Place all ingredients in a bowl and season with salt and pepper.

Season the salad with sour cream and stir.

You can decorate the salad at your discretion. Serve the prepared salad "Olivier" with beef and fresh cucumbers immediately.

Enjoy your meal!
