Олів'є is a popular salad in Russian and Ukrainian cuisine, traditionally made with diced vegetables, meats, and a creamy dressing. The main ingredients typically include potatoes, carrots, peas, pickles, and boiled eggs, often combined with chicken or bologna. This dish is commonly served during festive occasions, especially during the New Year celebrations. Its origins date back to the 1860s, attributed to the French chef Lucien Olivier, who created a version in his restaurant in Moscow. Over time, the recipe has evolved, with many families adding their own unique twists.
