Did you know?
Created by Belgian chef Lucien Olivier in Moscow in the 1860s, this salad became a staple, especially for New Year's Eve, throughout the former Soviet Union and beyond.
Method
Ensure all cooked ingredients (potatoes, carrots, chicken, eggs) are cooled and finely diced.
In a large bowl, combine diced potatoes, carrots, green peas, dill pickles, and diced chicken (if using).
Gently fold in the diced hard-boiled eggs.
Add mayonnaise, salt, and pepper, stirring until all ingredients are evenly coated.
Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1-2 hours for flavors to meld.
Serve cold, garnished with fresh dill or parsley.
