Olivier Salad

Olivier Salad, known in Ukraine as salade Olivye, is the undisputed king of the holiday table. No New Year's Eve celebration or birthday party is complete without a towering bowl of this hearty salad. All the ingredients are cut into precise, uniform small cubes and bound in a generous coating of mayonnaise. The magic of Olivier lies in how these simple ingredients transform together: the earthy potatoes, sweet peas, crunchy pickles, and savory ham create a symphony of textures and flavors that is far greater than the sum of its parts.
