Delicious New Year's tradition: preparing Stolichny salad

If you ask your friends to list the traditional New Year's food, then you can most likely hear the Stolichny salad among the names. This appetizing dish is firmly entrenched in the winter menu of many lovers of affordable, but tasty and satisfying food. Despite the simple ingredients, the taste of the salad has won a huge number of fans and has not stopped doing it for decades.

Step-by-step recipe for Stolichny salad

I have already said that I fell in love with the Olivier salad since childhood. But over time, I almost stopped cooking it. Many modern manufacturers do not care about the quality of their products, so it is almost impossible to eat more or less affordable sausages. I didn't want to give up my favorite dish, and in order to please myself and loved ones, on the next holiday, I decided to replace the sausage with boiled chicken. The food turned out to be no less tasty, and since then, in most cases, I have been preparing a salad with meat. And only a couple of years ago I learned that the idea of this dish is not new, but its name is Stolichny salad.
