If we want to cook the peas ourselves, add them to the chicken pot. After the water starts to boil, collect the white foam on the water’s surface with a spoon and throw it away. Because we do not want our Salad Olivieh to have a bad smell of chicken.

Step Three

Put the eggs separately in a saucepan, pour 2 cups of water, and put on heat until they are fully cooked. While cooking the ingredients, we go to prepare the salad dressing.

Salad Olivieh Without Chicken

Chicken gives a great taste to this Salad, but you can substitute hams and sausages instead if you want to remove chicken. Of course, if you are a vegetarian, you can use other vegetables such as mushrooms and bell peppers in your Salad instead of chicken.

How to Store Salad Olivieh

Any leftover olivier salad can be kept in the fridge for up to three to four days in an airtight container.
You may serve it cold or at room temperature, depending on your choice, and there’s no need to reheat it.
I wouldn’t advise freezing since, when it defrosts, it will be very moist and wet.

Key Points for Making Salad Olivieh

The amount of lemon juice consumed in the Salad should not be a lot, and it is better to add the lemon juice with salt and black pepper to the sauce first and then pour it into the Salad so that it tastes evenly all over the Salad. But you should not remove this small amount of lemon juice from the Salad because it makes the Salad more delicious and fragrant.
When you grate the potatoes, add about a glass and a half of chicken broth and leave it in the refrigerator for 8 hours until the potatoes absorb the chicken broth. Chicken broth makes the Salad much tastier and requires less sauce.
Steam the carrots with some honey and sugar to make them more delicious.
Fresh and natural lemon juice makes the Salad taste better.
You can use more olive oil instead of sauce.
Many people combine the sauce with yogurt and some red sauce, which gives the sauce a more delicious taste.
