Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make Lenten Olivier salad? Prepare your food. Boil the vegetables first. Wash the potatoes and carrots, cover with cold water and cook for half an hour from the time the water begins to boil. Boil them directly with the skin on, without cutting off the ends. Cooked vegetables will easily slide off the knife if you pierce them in the middle. Drain the water and cool the vegetables. Drain the liquid from the peas. Do not pour out this brine; it will be needed to prepare mayonnaise.

Step 2

Step 2
Using a small sharp knife, peel the vegetables. Cut potatoes, carrots, cucumbers and apples into small cubes. The salad will look beautiful and neat if you cut all the ingredients into pieces of the same size and shape.

Step 3

Step 3
Add peas. The salad is ready, all that remains is to mix it and season with mayonnaise, which we will make ourselves.

Step 4
Prepare mayonnaise. Prepare food for him. Take odorless vegetable oil, it can be either olive or sunflower.

Step 5

Step 5
Pour the pea brine, lemon juice, salt and sugar into a tall glass and start blending with an immersion blender. The liquid should turn white and slightly increase in size.

Step 6

Step 6
Continuing to work with the blender, begin to pour in vegetable oil in a thin stream in portions. Do not hurry! The slower you pour, the better the mayonnaise will thicken. Whisk until it becomes a thick sauce.

Step 7

Step 7
I got the mayonnaise right on the second try. The first time I poured out all the oil at once, and it did not thicken. The second time I poured the oil quietly, and everything worked out. Taste the mayonnaise for salt and add if necessary.

Season the salad with the resulting sauce and serve immediately. Bon appetit!
