vegan, gluten free
I haven’t seen him recently as he lives in Poland, but I have no doubts that he will be making his refreshing spring salad soon. After researching the best way to make his recipe Vegan I found some interesting information about the roots of his refreshing dish. He must enjoy the Olivier salad.
It is believed that this cooked vegetable salad has existed for since at least 1864. Russian chef Lucien Oliver prepared this salad especially for Tsar Nicholas II. Oliver never shared the recipe. After his death, people tried to reconstruct the recipe, naming it Oliver salad. This salad typical made from chopped vegetables and meat in a mayonnaise base.
