Introduction
Olivier salad is an iconic, traditional potato-based dish widely prepared for New Year celebrations in Kazakhstan and other post-Soviet countries. It features a rich blend of cubed boiled meats, vegetables, pickles, and eggs, all bound together in a creamy mayonnaise dressing.
Step 1
Wash the potatoes and carrots thoroughly under running water.
Step 2
Place the washed potatoes, carrots, and eggs into a pot of water, then place it on the stove and bring to a boil.
Step 3
Trim any excess fat off the pre-boiled horse meat (or beef), and slice it into small, uniform cubes.
Step 4
Take the pickled cucumbers out of the jar and slice them into small, even cubes.
Step 5
Check the boiling pot and remove the boiled eggs, potatoes, and carrots once they are fully cooked and tender.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
Ensure all ingredients (meat, potatoes, carrots, pickles, eggs) are diced into similarly sized small cubes so they mix evenly and are easy to eat.
Traditional choices for the meat include beef, horse meat, or a specific Eastern European sausage called 'Doktorskaya kolbasa'.
Taste the salad before adding salt, as the pickles and boiled meat usually contribute plenty of saltiness on their own.
