6 (Servings)

400 g half boiled chicken (or beef boiled, tongue, cooked sausage -)

6 potatoes

6 eggs

1 Bank of canned green peas
some peas to choose? we'll show

2 small head red onion

2 pcs. pickled cucumbers (gherkins or conventional -. 8-10 medium or small)

1 medium-sized carrots

mayonnaise, parsley

Boiled chicken cool and give a little brew. Place the carcass breast side down, then flowing bouillon juices, zastynut and over the breast and under the cloth, somewhat dry white meat would be a bit juicier. And top chicken skin is dry up in the air, the meat a bit podvyalitsya improving its taste.

Boil the potatoes and carrots in their skins, then cool and clean from the skin.

Peeled vegetables cut into small cubes of the same caliber as the peas. Size is a single lettuce can reveal the taste of each component is not infringing at the other, and to gather in a single dish, harmonious structure.

Just boil, cool and cut into cubes eggs.

The number of eggs and potatoes in "Olivier" should be equal to the number of guests at the table.

Onion cut into small, neat cubes of the same size as the other elements "Olivier". Red, or, as it is called: "pink". "purple" or "Yalta" Onion - the most gentle and pleasant taste. Traditionally, this sort - the best for salads, not heat treated. Try it, you will not regret!

If you select more cucumbers, preferably clear them from the seeds and cut into cubes after appropriate size. Gherkins in this sense it is more convenient and have a more refined taste.

Instead, pickled, you can use salted or salted cucumbers, if you have no other than fresh - cut them. However, the salad will become more insipid. Some housewives acidified Antonovka it, but, in my opinion, should not do this, though, apples have a pronounced fruity taste. Appropriate in this case, add canned, salted pineapple or even chopped sauerkraut, or sharp, sour mushrooms.

All of these components are, of course, diversify your idea about the different types of lettuce "Olivier"But, nevertheless, it is better to stock up on canned crunchy cucumbers. They get you in other salads come in handy.

The cooled chicken into cubes corresponding to the general idea of the size of the salad. I advise you not to remove the skin, it is surprisingly nice salad dressing complements its slippery and zhirnenky structure and compensates for dry breasts. Of course, for someone and normal breast is good, but, you see, compared with juiciness, smooth lubricant dark meat chicken, white meat poultry perceived completely dry.

Thoroughly mix the dry cutting "Olivier" and after - mayonnaise.

Thick sauce should be well lubricated and combine all salad ingredients in a single mass. But if the pieces already cut swam in it, it is - is too much. "Lots of" here does not mean "ok".Gotovy Salad greens to decorate.
