Traditionally, Russian people eat Salad Olivie for national holidays and whenever they entertain a company. For this salad you will need:
- 4 Large Potatoes
- 6 Eggs
- 1/2 Lb of Bologna
- 1 Can of Peas
- 1 Small Can of Light Mayo
- 3 Carrots
Peel off Carrots. Cook Potatoes with skin with Eggs and Carrots in one large pan. Turn off the heat when Potatoes become soft. Cool Potatoes, Carrots and Eggs. Take off the peel from potatoes. On a board or a special slicer slice Potatoes, Eggs, Bologna, Pickles and Carrots. Mix the ingredients with Peas and add Mayo. Add pickles , mix salad and taste. Stop adding pickles when you reach the taste that is most pleasing to your taste buds. Salt and use pepper to taste.
P.S. While making this salad it is important to have all of the ingredients. Note: If you are doing a blog like this it is important to actually get peas and add them to the salad. Oh well. Next time...

I make this salad a little differently -
ReplyDeleteI use cooked beef instead of bologna,
I never put carrots in it,
I am very specific with pickles - use pickled cucumbers.
I cut the ingredients into smaller pieces
(make sure the potatoes are really cold before cutting them).
Thank you for the blog,

Thank you, Mark. This is just one variation. Each person gives the salad it's own flavor. Thank you for your comment.
