Lenten Olivier salad

Lenten Olivier salad is suitable for all ardent fans of this dish who are ready to eat it in any, even in a very unusual way. Does it taste good? Highly! The role of nutritious ingredients of animal origin (meat or sausage, as well as eggs) is performed by squids. By the way, these seafood are very harmoniously combined with boiled frozen peas (do not replace it with canned ones: it will be completely different). As a result, we have a lean Olivier salad that even the most staunch meat-eaters like.

Lenten Olivier salad - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes! For a seafood-free version, try marinated artichoke hearts, hearts of palm, or extra-firm tofu. If not strictly Lenten, boiled eggs or chicken work well too.
Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days. The flavors meld beautifully, but cucumbers may soften slightly over time.
Swap potatoes with steamed cauliflower or diced jicama for a crunchy, low-carb twist. Adjust cooking times as needed.
Pat all ingredients dry before mixing, especially cucumbers and peas. Drain onions thoroughly after rinsing.
Absolutely! Use vegan mayo and ensure your sugar is plant-based. Double-check that all canned ingredients (like peas) are vegan-friendly.
Layer ingredients in a glass bowl for a pretty presentation, or serve individual portions in lettuce cups for easy entertaining.
Freezing isn’t recommended—mayonnaise separates and vegetables become mushy upon thawing. Enjoy fresh or refrigerated.
Halve all ingredients except the mayo—start with 1-2 tbsp and add gradually to avoid overdressing.
