Olivier Salad with Kohlrabi
Salads • French
Description
It is important to note that for the tastiest Olivier salad, the best, top-quality ingredients should be selected. I do not recommend using store-bought mayonnaise and sausage instead of meat, and it is essential to use the best peas, cooked at home, rather than canned. You can boil lean beef or veal instead of chicken. Since this salad does not contain potatoes, it is light and very tasty. There is no cabbage taste or aftertaste detected. People consume it without even noticing that there are no potatoes.

Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1
Take 5–6 young kohlrabi (diameter up to 5 cm, green, firm) and the same amount of large carrots. Boil them. Their cooking time is approximately the same — about half an hour, so they don't turn to mush. Cool down.
Step 2
Boil the eggs hard (no more than 5 minutes). Peel them under cold water.
Step 3
Boil excellent small frozen green peas for 3 minutes in water with sugar and salt. Drain, saving the liquid.
Step 4
In advance, preferably overnight, make a quick broth from the chicken breasts (recipe below).
Step 5
Also boil the chicken thighs in advance.
Step 6
Make our own eggless mayonnaise (see recipe below).
Step 7
Now chop into very small cubes: kohlrabi, carrots (peel them beforehand, of course), onion, pickles (I buy the best, small, crunchy ones), breast, thighs, ham (lean, smoked turkey).
Step 8
Chop the eggs finely in a food processor.
Step 9
Crush the garlic with a knife and chop finely. Mix all the ingredients.
Step 10
Season: salt, sugar (definitely to taste), you can add a couple of teaspoons of mustard, preferably homemade, freshly ground black pepper from your favorite grinder, mayonnaise. If it turns out too dry, add a little liquid from the peas. Taste again and enjoy!
