Instructions
  1. Begin by gathering the essential ingredients for crafting a delicious olivier with sausage. Pre-boil and cool the potatoes and carrots. Also, hard-boil the chicken eggs, allow them to cool, and peel off the shells. Choose any boiled sausage according to your taste preference. Whether the cucumbers are salted or pickled is not critical.
  2. Drain the liquid from the green peas jar, placing the peas in a colander and allowing them to rest for a while. This step ensures the salad won’t become watery; we want to eliminate excess moisture.
  3. Dice the boiled sausage into cubes. Opting for milk sausage can be a delightful choice.
  4. Peel and dice the boiled, cooled carrots into medium-sized cubes. Maintain uniformity in cube size across all ingredients for a visually appealing salad.
  5. Peel the boiled potatoes and cut them into medium cubes. Additionally, chop the boiled and peeled eggs.
  6. Cube the cucumbers, optionally peeling them if the skin is too tough. Ensure your cucumbers aren’t overly salty.
  7. Combine all the diced ingredients and peas in a suitable salad bowl.
  8. Drizzle the olivier salad with mayonnaise, preferably homemade for a more authentic touch.
  9. Thoroughly mix the salad, tasting and adjusting salt as needed. Allow the olivier to chill in the refrigerator for an hour; it’s best served cold. Bring it to the table and enjoy your meal!
Recipe Notes

Opting to make your own mayonnaise is a superior choice, promising a more flavorful and healthier outcome. Additionally, for dressing, consider not only mayonnaise but also alternatives such as sour cream or natural yogurt. These can be used independently or blended with mayonnaise in any proportion according to your taste, offering a reduction in the overall calorie content of the dish.
