Notes
- The total time and the ingredient quantities are based on 4 servings of Olivier Salad.
- If you are a vegetarian, you can substitute the ham with smoked tofu, for example.
- The pickles are optional, although it gives that extra crunchiness to the dish. In order to keep the salad fresher for longer, keep the pickles on the side, and add them only before eating.
- Feel free to get creative and add some herbs, spices, and greens to the salad.
