Frequently Asked Questions About Olivieh Salad
What is Olivieh Salad?
Olivieh Salad is a chilled potato salad commonly made with chicken, peas, eggs, pickles, and mayonnaise. It is associated with Russian and Persian cooking, and recipes vary from one country and household to another.
How do you make Olivieh Salad?
To make Olivieh Salad, cook the potatoes and chicken, then cool them completely. Dice them with the eggs and pickles, fold in peas and mayonnaise, and chill the salad before serving so the flavors combine.
What ingredients are in Olivieh Salad?
Olivieh Salad typically contains potatoes, cooked chicken, peas, hard-boiled eggs, pickles, and mayonnaise. Some versions add carrots or use different pickles, but small, evenly cut pieces help give the salad its characteristic texture.
Is Olivieh Salad the same as Russian salad?
Olivieh Salad is closely related to Russian salad, and the names are sometimes used for similar dishes. Recipes differ by region: Olivieh commonly includes chicken, while some Russian salad versions focus on vegetables and omit it.
Where did Olivieh Salad originate?
Olivieh Salad takes its name from chef Lucien Olivier, who became known for a salad served in Moscow in the 19th century. The recipe changed as it spread, including into Persian cooking, so today’s versions are not all identical.
Can you make Olivieh Salad without chicken?
Yes, you can make Olivieh Salad without chicken. Leave it out for a vegetable-forward version, or add extra peas and potatoes for more substance; the eggs, pickles, and mayonnaise still give it the familiar Olivieh-style flavor.
What kind of pickles go in Olivieh Salad?
Dill or sour cucumber pickles are common in Olivieh Salad. Chop them finely and drain off excess brine before mixing; too much pickle liquid can make the mayonnaise dressing watery.
Why is Olivieh Salad popular at New Year?
Olivieh Salad is a traditional New Year’s dish in Russia and several neighboring food cultures. It can be prepared ahead and served cold to a group, which makes it a practical centerpiece for holiday gatherings.
How long does Olivieh Salad last in the refrigerator?
Keep Olivieh Salad covered in the refrigerator and eat it within a few days. Because it contains cooked chicken, eggs, and mayonnaise, do not leave it sitting out for an extended time, and return leftovers to the refrigerator promptly.
Can you freeze Olivieh Salad?
Freezing Olivieh Salad is not recommended. Potatoes can turn grainy after thawing, while mayonnaise may separate and make the mixture watery; prepare it fresh or refrigerate leftovers instead.

What is Olivieh Salad?
Olivieh Salad is a chilled potato salad with roots in Russian cooking and popular variations in Iran. It usually combines diced boiled potatoes, chicken, peas, eggs and pickles, bound with mayonnaise; family recipes vary in their proportions and sometimes their ingredients.
In Russia and Iran it is often served cold as a side dish or as part of a celebratory spread, and it also works well at picnics and potlucks. The potatoes make it soft and filling, while pickles bring a sharp, tangy contrast to the creamy dressing. It offers some protein from the chicken and eggs, but mayonnaise contributes much of its richness. For a lighter version, replace some of the mayonnaise with plain yogurt.
