Olivier salad with chicken

Cookinero 18 Jan 2023

Olivier with chicken is one of the most beloved varieties of this famous Soviet-Russian holiday salad, which, in our opinion, has a more delicate and delicate taste. Especially if you fill it with homemade mayonnaise! By the way, in this case, many people prefer to replace onions with green ones, which, again, works for a milder taste of the dish. Try both options and choose the one you like best. You can serve Olivier salad with chicken both traditionally - in a large salad bowl - and in small wide glasses, which always looks especially elegant.
