Olivier salad with meat is a variation of the usual salad. Many legends, rumors and speculations are associated with Olivier salad. However, this does not prevent Olivier from being the most popular and favorite salad among many generations of compatriots. It's true, Olivier salad is appetizer No. 1, in every sense, the most festive salad, and a New Year's holiday without Olivier is not a holiday at all.

Everyone prepares Olivier salad in their own way, changing the composition, proportions and dressings. I once read the opinion of a famous chef that all Olivier recipes are correct! I agree completely. I have never tried a tasteless Olivier or salad before, and I have never heard of such a thing.

Considering that practically nothing remains of the original masterpiece recipe, invented more than 150 years ago by the chef of the Hermitage restaurant, Lucien Olivier, it is difficult to argue which Olivier salad is correct. Olivier salad was first mentioned in one of the culinary magazines in 1894. In addition, despite the fact that the original Olivier salad, consisting, in addition to the usual potatoes and cucumbers, of hazel grouse, crayfish tails, capers, olives, soybeans, caviar and lettuce, was tried by hundreds of gourmets, they say that the original recipe died with Maestro. They tried to reproduce the original salad, but without success. And even now, it seems, there is no consensus on the original recipe, they write “according to some data.”

There is a lot of controversy about the sauce that is used to dress the original Olivier salad. We prefer mayonnaise, or sauce as for...

Provençal mayonnaise is made from French vinegar, eggs and Provençal (olive) oil, and by and large is no different from store-bought mayonnaise.

But, of course, the quality of ingredients and “flavoring” additives, stabilizers, emulsifiers...

The victorious people very quickly dealt with hazel grouse lovers, but the Olivier salad, of which practically only the name remained, not only caught on and was liked. In a completely different form, it became the first holiday dish for decades. During the “Soviet” period, changes were made to the recipe many and often. The hazel grouse was replaced with chicken, then with boiled “doctor’s” sausage. Boiled tongue was replaced with boiled pork. Pickled cucumbers replaced pickles, green peas and onions - capers. Carrots appeared in the salad - instead of crayfish necks. Green peas or corn. Fresh mayonnaise, which is easy to prepare, but, unfortunately, cannot be stored for long. Without stabilizers and emulsifiers, mayonnaise will flake quickly enough, which makes it difficult to prepare Olivier for future use - for several days.

There is a lot of controversy about the size of cutting ingredients for Olivier salad. Frankly, I don’t really like finely chopped cubes in salad. I prefer to cut all the ingredients differently, as for.

Changing and simplifying the recipe allowed the Olivier salad to survive. Although, from a meat salad, Olivier became more of a vegetable salad, since there was very little meat in it. Modern recipes for Olivier salad - availability of products and freedom of choice. This is how Olivier with sausage, Olivier with meat, Olivier with mushrooms and even seafood appeared.

Olivier salad with meat. Step by step recipe

Ingredients (4 servings)

  • Pork lean 300 gr
  • Potatoes 2-3 pcs
  • Carrots 2 pcs
  • Eggs 3 pcs
  • Fresh cucumber 1 piece
  • Pickled cucumber 2-3 pcs
  • Sweet onion 1 piece
  • Canned corn 0.5 cups
  • Mayonnaise Provencal 0.5 cups
  • Salt, black pepper taste
  1. I love Olivier salad with meat, with boiled pork. As a child, my family bought sausage for Olivier, a real “doctor’s” sausage, the taste of which was remembered and is no longer found. And boiled lean pork is an excellent substitute for sausage.

    Ingredients for Olivier salad

  2. A small piece of lean pork (shoulder, thigh) just needs to be boiled.

    A small piece of lean pork (shoulder, thigh)

  3. Add 1-2 bay leaves, 1-2 peas of allspice and 5-6 peas of black (multi-colored) pepper to the water. If desired, you can add a pinch of aromatic herbs. You can add no salt, or just a little salt. Cook pork for Olivier with meat for 20-30 minutes. Next, cool the piece of meat. By the way, if you cool the pork directly in the broth, it will be juicy. But the meat will be difficult to cut into cubes. Therefore, I cool the meat without liquid, but be sure to cover it with a plate. The broth is perfect for making soup. Or, you can simply pepper the broth, add salt and add finely chopped herbs. As a child, I really loved a fresh pie with meat and a cup of broth.
  4. Boil chicken eggs hard, about 10 minutes. Immediately cool them under cold running water and remove the shells. Before slicing the boiled eggs, I advise you to leave a small piece of the yolk for decoration. I prefer to cut eggs into salad quite large. Then the eggs in the salad are noticeable and do not mix with mayonnaise and simply “disappear.”

  5. Many potatoes and carrots are boiled to make salad. The carrots should be boiled until tender. But it’s better to bake potatoes for Olivier with meat. Potatoes boiled in water become watery and sticky. You can bake potatoes in the oven, or better yet, in a household microwave, after piercing each potato with a knife. Baking time until potatoes are ready is 6-8 minutes at full power.
  6. Peel the cooled carrots and potatoes and cut them into equal cubes 6-8 mm in size. Place the chopped vegetables in a deep bowl. I advise you to add a little pepper to the vegetables for Olivier with meat.

  7. Add chopped eggs to vegetables. Drain the canned corn and add the corn to the chopped vegetables. Many people use canned green peas for Olivier salad. I don't like it because canned green peas are not green at all. Most often the color is light olive, the peas are overcooked and very sweet. Sometimes we just take fresh frozen peas out of the freezer and boil them for Olivier salad. But canned corn has caught on with us, and it’s usually what’s added to Olivier salad with meat.

  8. Fresh cucumber was included in the original Olivier recipe. Long gone are the days when fresh cucumbers were only in season, and out of season they were very scarce and expensive. True, greenhouse cucumbers are sometimes not at all small and pimply. And for Olivier salad with meat, just cut off half a cucumber. It is better to peel greenhouse cucumbers. Fresh and cut into cubes smaller than carrots and potatoes.

    Pickled and fresh cucumbers cut into cubes

  9. Onions found their way into modern Olivier salad recipes not so long ago. It is better to use sweet and not very spicy onions. The so-called “Yalta” onions or sweet varieties of shallots are perfect. They often write - cut the onion into cubes. I don’t really understand how to do this in practice, because... Onions have a layered structure, and any cubes will immediately fall apart. Therefore, it is better to cut the onion thinly into short strips. Add onions and chopped cucumbers to the salad.

  10. Cut the cooled boiled pork meat into cubes of the size desired. Usually the size of the meat cut is average between the cuts of potatoes and cucumbers.

  11. Place all the chopped ingredients in a deep bowl or, as is customary, in a basin. Add salt to taste and carefully mix all ingredients until the dish is homogeneous. A lot of recipes call for the presence of fresh parsley in the Olivier salad. Yes, it is tasty. But it’s better to decorate the salad with a sprig of parsley rather than adding greens to the Olivier salad.

Option 1: Classic Olivier with meat

Initially, the famous Olivier salad did not contain sausage. The classic ingredient is hazel grouse. Later it was replaced by other types of meat, and then, to speed up and simplify the process of preparing salad, they began to use boiled and smoked sausages. Hazel grouse is still difficult to find in the store, but there is always beef on the shelves.

Ingredients

  • 450 g beef;
  • 350 g potatoes;
  • 250 g carrots;
  • 250 g pickled cucumbers;
  • five eggs;
  • 200 g mayonnaise;
  • 100 g onion;
  • 250 g peas;
  • spices.

Step-by-step recipe for classic Olivier with meat

Wash a piece of beef, cover the meat with water, add a couple of peppercorns, a bay leaf, and boil until tender. Cool, cut into neat cubes and pour into a bowl.

Wash the potatoes and carrots and boil. Drain the boiling water, cool, peel, cut into the same cubes as the meat. Add vegetables to it.

Boil the eggs hard, that is, after boiling the water, keep for at least 7-8 minutes. The exact time depends on the size. Cool, peel the shells and also turn into small cubes.

Also cut the pickled cucumbers into cubes, but do not add them right away. Place in a colander, let the excess brine drain, then pour into the total mass.

For Olivier salad, it is advisable to take sweet salad varieties, add them to the rest of the ingredients, immediately add peas, do not add marinade.

Stir all ingredients, then add mayonnaise. Stir in sauce. Salt and pepper are added to Olivier to taste.

It is not always possible to cut meat into neat and even cubes. That is why it is better to boil it in advance, keep it in the refrigerator for several hours or in the freezer for a little while. After this, with a sharp knife, the product can be very easily cut not only into cubes, but also into beautiful strips for other salads or thin slices for a meat plate.

Option 2: Quick recipe for Olivier with meat (smoked)

A quick version of Olivier salad. The meat used for it will be smoked (boiled-smoked), ham will do. Also given is a method for very quickly cooking vegetables in a microwave oven in a bag. Thanks to these tricks, the salad can be prepared in half an hour.

Ingredients

  • 300 g smoked meat;
  • 4 eggs;
  • 3 cucumbers (salted);
  • 3 potatoes;
  • 2 small carrots;
  • 0.5 cans of peas;
  • 180 g mayonnaise.

How to quickly cook Olivier with meat

Immediately put the eggs on the stove to cook. Wash the potatoes and carrots thoroughly, pierce all the vegetables in several places, and put them in a regular bag. Tie it up, make a hole for steam to escape, and put it in the microwave. Cook for 7-8 minutes, increase time if necessary. Remove and place in cold water. Pour in the eggs and let them cool.

Cut the smoked meat, cucumbers and one onion into cubes, pour into a bowl to stir the salad. Add canned peas from a jar.

Peel previously cooked vegetables and eggs. Cut the main ingredients into cubes and add to the salad.

Top with sauce. The amount of mayonnaise can be used at your discretion, since not everyone likes fatty and heavily poured salads. Stir, add spices to taste.

There is no need to rush to mix warm salad ingredients, as this will spoil the taste. It’s better to pour cold water over the vegetables, change them several times and cool completely while the rest of the ingredients for Olivier are chopped.

Option 3: Dietary (low-calorie) Olivier with meat

Recipe for a light and low-calorie Olivier salad with meat. It is easy to prepare, can be used for a holiday or become an everyday dietary dish. Bonus - a recipe for a delicious sauce that perfectly replaces fatty and not entirely healthy mayonnaise and goes well with other salads and dishes.

Ingredients

  • 200 g of boiled meat (beef);
  • 4 eggs;
  • 100 g white yogurt;
  • 10 g mustard (diluted sauce);
  • 2 fresh cucumbers;
  • 120 g peas;
  • onion (50 g);
  • 10 ml lemon juice;
  • 2 carrots;
  • pepper, salt;
  • dill greens.

Boil the eggs and cut into cubes, but remove two yolks. They are needed for the sauce. Also chop the boiled meat.

Boil the carrots, chop and add to the rest of the ingredients.

Peel a small onion, chop finely, add to a bowl with salad. Drain the water from the peas and add to the total mixture.

Fresh cucumbers are used, but you can also use pickled, barrel products. They do not contain much more calories, but from a dietary point of view it is better to avoid canned foods. Cut the cucumbers into small cubes, removing the tails and ends. Add to Olivier.

Grind the previously set aside yolks with mustard and lemon juice, add salt and pepper, and dilute with natural yoghurt. Or take low-fat sour cream, you can add a little garlic, but not more than half a clove, just for flavor.

Season the Olivier with sauce. Diet salad is ready! If fresh cucumbers were used, as in the recipe, then it is not recommended to store the dish for more than a day; it is better to use it on the first day.

The salad does not have to be served in a common bowl, as was done in Soviet times. Olivier looks very interesting in portioned dishes. You can use a ring to form a tower and place a leaf of lettuce or Chinese cabbage under it.

Option 4: Olivier with meat and corn

A bright and interesting version of the festive Olivier salad with meat and corn. Sometimes canned peas are also added to it, which is not prohibited. Onions for this recipe are pickled in vinegar; this option is especially suitable when using “evil” and spicy varieties.

Ingredients

  • 300 g boiled pork;
  • 4 eggs;
  • 1 onion;
  • 3 cucumbers (salted);
  • can of corn;
  • 1 tbsp. l. vinegar;
  • 200 g mayonnaise;
  • 3 potatoes;
  • 2 carrots.

Step by step recipe

Boil eggs, potatoes and two small carrots. Cool all this well, peel it, cut it into small cubes.

Finely chop the onion, pour in vinegar diluted in three tablespoons of water. Leave for ten minutes.

Cut the pork into cubes, transfer the meat to the previously prepared vegetables.

Squeeze the onion and add to the salad. Drain marinade from corn and place in main bowl. Cut pickled cucumbers into small cubes. Fresh cucumbers are also great for this salad.

Season Olivier with mayonnaise, stir, serve. You can additionally add green onions, dill or use them for decoration.

If you need to prepare a salad in advance, then all the products can be boiled, chopped and even combined, but under no circumstances should they be seasoned with sauce. Just put Olivier in the refrigerator, putting on a tight lid. It is better to add mayonnaise before serving.

Option 5: Olivier with meat and mushrooms

A hearty version of Olivier. You can use any pickled mushrooms, but the salad with the addition of honey mushrooms looks especially impressive. There is no need to chop them; these mushrooms are added whole. Sauce made from a mixture of mayonnaise and sour cream.

Ingredients

  • 300 g of boiled meat (pork, beef);
  • 3 potatoes;
  • 5 eggs;
  • 200 g pickled mushrooms;
  • 2 carrots;
  • 120 g sour cream;
  • 120 g mayonnaise;
  • salt and pepper;
  • can of peas;
  • a bunch of green onions.

How to cook

Boil meat, potatoes, carrots and eggs until cooked. All Olivier ingredients should be cooled and preferably refrigerated. Peel vegetables with eggs, cut into cubes. Also cut the boiled meat. Place all ingredients into a bowl.

If the mushrooms are large, then cut into cubes. Simply pour the honey mushrooms into a colander and let the marinade drain. If the liquid is slippery, then the mushrooms need to be rinsed with cold water. Add to Olivier after dripping.

Chop the green onions and add to the salad. Add canned peas. Chop the pickles and add to a common bowl.

It is advisable to take thick sour cream, mix with mayonnaise, salt and pepper, you can add a little mustard or other spices to the sauce to your taste.

Season the mushroom olivier with meat with the prepared sauce, stir and serve immediately.

A salad with fried mushrooms is made in a similar way; you can use any type. But you shouldn’t add a lot of oil to the frying pan during cooking, otherwise the Olivier will turn out quite heavy and high in calories. Sometimes capers and olives are added to the total mass, which add new notes to the taste of the world-famous salad.

Olivier salad with meat is again gaining popularity among housewives, because the recipe for this appetizer with doctor’s sausage originates exclusively from Soviet times, when food was in short supply, and wasting precious meat on salad was, to say the least, blasphemous. Nowadays, when there are no problems with food, everyone can choose meat for a snack according to their wallet. Veal, beef, pork - any meat will organically complement vegetables with mayonnaise. Additional ingredients for the salad can include tongue (pork, veal or beef), crayfish necks, caviar, smoked poultry, capers, olives and quail eggs. Don't be surprised by the variety of ingredients, all of which were present in the original salad recipe, in addition to the traditional vegetables.

To make Olivier more tender and dietary, any meat from the recipe can be replaced with rabbit meat. A whole carcass is cooked for an hour and a half, and a cut rabbit is ready in 40 minutes. The meat turns out juicy and tastiest if it is cooked in a saucepan with a closed lid.

The creator of the salad, L. Olivier, became famous not because of the ingredients included in the appetizer, but thanks to the signature family sauce “Provencal” with which the dish was seasoned. Nowadays it is customary to add regular store-bought mayonnaise to Olivier. But if you take care and make homemade mayonnaise, the dish will turn out to be most similar to the original. To make homemade mayonnaise, you need to beat two eggs, 300 milliliters of olive oil, a tablespoon of lemon juice, a teaspoon of mustard, a pinch of salt and sugar in a blender. The longer you beat the ingredients, the thicker the mayonnaise will be.

There are many stories about Olivier, including the fact that for a salad you take a bowl of ingredients and mix it all with mayonnaise into a homogeneous mass. From the history of the creation of the salad, it is known that at first L. Olivier devoted a lot of time to serving the salad; the ingredients were not mixed together, but aesthetically beautifully laid out on plates. But the Russians did not appreciate the efforts of the French cook and quickly mixed the contents into one mass. The upset chef has since served Olivier exclusively mixed. This is how the serving of the famous snack appeared, the tradition of which has been preserved to this day.

    How and how much to cook potatoes, carrots, eggs for Olivier salad?



    Vegetables for Olivier salad are boiled exclusively in their uniforms and in lightly salted water. This method of cooking carrots and potatoes ensures that they do not become more watery when cooked. If you cook them without the skin, the salad will end up mushy and less tasty.

    As for the cooking time, on average the cooking process takes 20 minutes. However, you must remember that the cooking time will directly depend on the size of the vegetables. So, if they are very small, then it will take 15 minutes, and if they are very large, then up to 30.

    How long does Olivier store without mayonnaise in the refrigerator?

    I would like to say right away that ideally, a salad with mayonnaise should be stored in the refrigerator for no more than 1 day. After this time, the products will begin to oxidize due to contact with air, thereby creating a favorable environment for pathogenic bacteria. In view of this, if you do not want to harm your loved ones, then prepare only as much salad as you can eat at one time.

    If you want to extend its shelf life, then use one trick. Cut all Olivier components, and without dressing with mayonnaise, place them in the refrigerator in a hermetically sealed container. Next, all you have to do is add the dressing to the amount of salad you will serve. Olivier without mayonnaise can stand in the refrigerator for 2 days.

Since the recipe differs from the well-known traditional Olivier only in the presence of pork in the composition, we will find out which meat is best suited and how it should be prepared.

How to choose and prepare pork for salad

It is best to choose a lean piece weighing 300-500 g. There should be no films, no fat, no bones on it.

We cook the meat in a very small amount of water, since the more concentrated the broth is, the more intense the taste of the meat will be. Pour filtered water so that the meat is literally covered by a couple of fingers.

Pork should be cooked for at least 40 minutes after boiling. If the piece is large, increase the cooking time to 1 hour.

30 minutes before the end of cooking, salt the broth to taste and add 2-3 bay leaves, 3 allspice peas, and 5-7 minutes before you can add a few sprigs of fresh herbs - this will make the pork more flavorful.

Place the meat on a plate and leave to cool. The broth won't go to waste either! It can be diluted with boiling water and used for the first course.

So, now that the main ingredient is ready, it’s time to start preparing the salad, and our recipe with photos will help with this!
