This exquisite Olivier salad in an author's rendition combines the tenderness of shrimp, the creamy texture of avocado, and the freshness of cucumbers, creating a harmony of flavors. The history of Olivier dates back to the 19th century when French chef Lucien Olivier introduced it to the Moscow public. In this modern version of the classic, traditional ingredients give way to lighter and more elegant combinations. Homemade cashew mayonnaise adds richness to the dish, while lemon juice and mustard provide spicy notes. The salad is perfect for festive gatherings or a light dinner, surprising guests with its original taste and refined style.
