Olivier salad (Russian salad)

13-Oct-2014

Despite the exotic name and provenance, this salad is actually consumed by the Italians like no one else. We are simply addicted to the creaminess of the sauce that perfectly coats those tangy, crunchy and perfectly-cooked ingredients. What we are proposing here is our low-fat take on this popular dish, and rest assured that with the high expectations we have for this dish, we are surely not going to accept any poor-tasting result. Enjoy the preparation and don’t forget to comment to share your opinion with us.
