Salad Olivieh is another name of a famous Russian potato salad that is the most traditional dish for the celebration of the New Year for Eastern European people. It can often be served during other family holidays, gatherings and even during normal weekdays. The salad requires a bit of preparation and some good amount of chopping, but it is definitely worth every effort put into it! The beauty of salad Olivieh is that is stores pretty well in the fridge (up to 5 days). The only recommendation regarding storing would be to store mixed dry ingredients, and add mayonnaise right before serving. Different cooks may use slightly different ingredients in this salad, but we recommend you to try this version, and if wanted you can customize it to your taste, adding or substituting the ingredients. Dill can be easily replaced by parsley, bologna by ham or cooked chicken, you can also leave out the mayo, and replace it with sour cream or plain yogurt (the salad will not have the traditional taste, but it will still taste quite yummy!) Try using homemade mayonnaise following our simple recipe, instead of the store-bought one. It is easy to make and much healthier than the ones you will find on the shelves of the supermarket. It will make your salad Olivie taste much much better! Salad Olivieh is very forgiving, and uses the ingredients that are very easy to find in the supermarket, in fact, we are mostly sure that you will be able to find most of them in your kitchen already.
