How long does Olivier Salad Last?

This salad will last up to 4 days in a well-sealed container in the refrigerator. I noticed this salad tastes better the day after it's made because its flavors get all in there! If you keep your potatoes and veggies separate from the meat and salad dressing, this will also prolong your salad for up to a week.

Yes, you can make this salad without any type of meat or replace it with Chicken. Please see above for more meat options.

Instructions

Start by adding peeled potatoes, and carrots into one pot boiled in water on high heat for 20-30 minutes. Pierce potato and carrots with a fork and remove from boiling water. If the fork goes through smoothly it’s time to remove from pot. Boil eggs for 10-12 minutes. Remove eggs from boiling water, set under cold water, and allow them to rest to easily peel off.
Chop all your boiled vegetables, eggs, bologna and fresh dillweed into very small pieces as small as you can get them.
Add mayonnaise, sour cream, and salt to your chopped ingredients and combine. Mix ingredients by gently folding over and not musing down with your spoon.

Notes

DRAINING TIPS: Make sure to drain our pickles and peas before placing them into the salad. The excess liquid can ruin the texture and taste of the salad.
PEEL AND BOIL: potatoes, and carrots at the same time and allow them to cool off completely before chopping.
PREPPING TIME: Give yourself plenty of time to prepare salad, the chopping takes most of your time. So be prepared to chop for a while. I don’t prefer a vegetable chopper if you choose to use one because I noticed it will make your pieces into mush.😉
MIXING: Make sure when mixing ingredients together, don’t mix by mushing them. Mix ingredients by gently folding over and not musing down with your spoon.
