This isn’t just a salad — it’s a historical plot twist.
The famous Olivier salad started as a luxury dish in a high-end 19th-century Moscow restaurant, created by French chef Lucien Olivier. The original recipe included game birds, crayfish, caviar, and a secret sauce no one ever managed to recreate.
After his death, the recipe was lost… and chefs improvised. The result? The potato-and-sausage version that became a New Year’s classic.
History is weird. And delicious.
