Ingredients
- 2 potatoes washed and cleaned
- 2 carrots washed and cleaned
- 3 eggs
- 2 large dill pickles chopped finely
- 1 onion chopped finely
- 1 cup frozen peas defrosted
- 2 tablespoon mayonnaise or half mayo and half sour cream
- 1 tablespoon grainy mustard
- 2 teaspoons French white wine vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic
Instructions
- In a large pot, place carrots and potatoes with plenty of water. Bring to a boil, and cook potatoes and carrots until easily pierced with a fork, about 30 minutes. Cook three hard boiled eggs.
- Peel potatoes, carrots and eggs (I use the back of a sharp paring knife to peel the potatoes and carrots). Chop finely. Combine in a large bowl with onions, pickles, peas and dressing ingredients. Mix until well combined – eggs will break a little, and that's OK – they will help flavour the sauce. Taste and correct seasonings. Let sit In the fridge for at least a couple of hours, preferably overnight. Serve with a little bit of fresh dill on the side.

Notes
- Lighten it up! - mix half the mayo with half sour cream for a lighter, healthier Olivier salad.
- Latin American style - add a pinch of cumin or even chilli powder to the salad dressing for a Latin American take on this delicious salad.
- Vegan Olivier Salad - when I have vegan friends joining us for dinner, I make Olivier salad with vegan mayo and omit the eggs.
