Salad Olivier

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Round out your Norooz/Nowruz season by taking the popular Salad Olivier to Sizdeh Bedar! Sizdeh Bedar is the 13th day of the Persian New Year where it is tradition to get out of the house and have a picnic or spend time outdoors.</span> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Salad Olivier (pronounced ooloovieh or olivieh) is a potato, chicken, and egg salad with a tangy twist – pickles add crunch and a punchy tartness.  We serve Salad Olivier as an appetizer or side dish at gatherings.  It is a wonderful compliment to kabab at barbecues, potlucks, and picnics - always a crowd pleaser!</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Similar to Russian version - both have potatoes, carrots, peas, pickles, and mayo</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Persian potato salad has boiled eggs and chicken. However Russian potato salad has diced ham, onion and dill, the Persian version does not.</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">What we like about it:</span></p> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Easy to make ahead, batch cook, meal prep</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Travels well to parties and picnics</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Unique, fun twist to potato salad - a popular crowd pleaser</span></li> </ul> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Basics of recipe:</span></p> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Cooked chicken breasts</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Cooked potatoes</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Peas & carrots (sometimes available frozen)</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Dill pickles (the crunchier the better!)</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 40
