When and by whom the salad was invented

The recipe was founded by French chef Lucien Olivier. During his lifetime, the cook kept the instructions secret, and after his death, the history of the origin of the salad was overgrown with mysteries. Chefs in 1904 tried to restore the ingredients of an authentic creation from Lucien Olivier. Caviar, hazel grouse, veal tongue, boiled crayfish, soybean kabul, fresh cucumber, lettuce, pickles, capers and boiled eggs are combined in one dish. But gourmets who were lucky enough to taste the product of a French chef did not like this salad. According to them, it was very different from the original.

What is the basis of a classic dish and its calorie content

Olivier's new life began in the Soviet era. It was not easy with gourmet foods in those days, so they were replaced by boiled sausage, boiled vegetables and other available ingredients. Salad was prepared in almost every home.

The salad gained popularity back in Soviet times.

It was based on boiled eggs, potatoes and carrots. The proportion of these ingredients should be about 3/5 of the total amount of products, the composition of the basic recipe looks like this:

• boiled potatoes - 4-5 pcs.;
• boiled carrots - 1-2 pcs.;
• pickled cucumbers - 4-5 pcs.;
• boiled sausage - 400 g;
• canned peas - 1 can.

The calorie content of an uncut salad is 210 calories per 100 g. The nutritional value of a seasoned dish increases and depends on the dressing used.

How to season salad

In addition to mayonnaise, sour cream can also be used for salad dressing.
