"Olivier" salad (Russian: салат Оливье) is a traditional salad dish in former USSR countries. It's also popular, under the different names, in many other European countries, Iran, Israel, Mongolia and also throughout Latin America. This sandwich is a homage to this popular dish.
The biggest challenge in creating this sandwich, was a problem what to do with the green peas, that are integral part of "Olivier". It's practically impossible to keep round little things inside the buns, so I've decided to mash them, with addition of some garlic mayo spread.
Here are the main ingredients of salad "Olivier' and my sandwich: mashed green peas, carrot, beef tongue, potato, eggs, sour pickles and salt.
I was using mashed green peas with garlic mayo, as a spread. Normally, in "Olivier" used bologna or some other meat, but my choice for today was a beef tongue.
The order of placing ingredients, does not really matter, but for me it was in this order: green pea spread, beef tongue, sliced potato,
sliced sour pickle, sliced egg,
carrot, garlic mayo and some dill.
For me it was a late breakfast, but it also can be a "take to work" lunch. Bon appétit and hope to see you again!
