Instructions

Peel and dice the potatoes into 1/2 inch cubes. Peel and dice the carrots into 1/4 inch cubes. Boil them together until cooked and tender but not mushy, 3-5 minutes. Drain and let cool.
Combine the dressing ingredients in a bowl and stir to combine. Add more salt, pepper and sugar to taste.
Place all of the salad ingredients in a large bowl, pour over the dressing, and stir to thoroughly combine. Cover and chill for at least an hour before serving.Olivier Salad will keep in the fridge for 3-4 days.

Notes

Make Ahead: The ingredients can all be prepped a day in advance but if you're making this ahead of time, ideally wait until a couple of hours or so before serving to add the dressing to the salad.
