Olivier with cervelat
6 servings
60 minutes
Olivier with salami is a variation of the classic Russian salad that originated in the 19th century thanks to French chef Lucien Olivier. In this recipe, the traditional meat ingredient is replaced with salami, giving the dish a spicy, slightly smoky flavor. Boiled potatoes and carrots add softness to the salad, while chicken eggs provide richness. Crispy onions add freshness, and canned green peas contribute delicate sweetness. Dressed with mayonnaise, the salad acquires a creamy texture that perfectly complements spices and herbs. Olivier with salami is a versatile dish suitable for festive gatherings and cozy home lunches, offering nostalgic warmth and a richness of flavors.
