I know it’s weird to be learning how to cook Persian food from a Vietnamese woman. But, I’ve seen the Persian recipes out there, and there are NO PICTURES! So, for those young Persians who don’t know how to cook or for those who just want to try some Persian yumminess, here is a picture-filled recipe for you!!
This super-yummy Persian chicken/egg/potato salad will make you the star of your family. It can be eaten as an appetizer on bread or crackers, as a side dish, or as a sandwich. Because this recipe makes a large portion and because of the work involved, you won’t want to make this often but you won’t have to. Salade Olivier is great for leftovers and can last you a while. This is also a great dish to have the kids be involve and help. The best thing about this great chicken/egg/potato salad? When the kids want something to eat, they can prepare this THEMSELVES without having to bother you for lunch!!
I’m not sure why they’re singing but I’d like think they’re singing because they are so happy to be eating this dish. It’s one of their favorites! See how they had to take out the large Tupperware so that they can have seconds?!?!

Looks good but I would have to leave out the eggs.

If you do fish, I’ve made it with Tuna before. Pretty good.

Hi,
I am a young Persian girl, I was looking for the recipe of Salad Olivieh. Thanks for sharing! But I know that instead of cucumber we use salty cucumber which can be found from international foods. The brand “one & one” is one of the best for salty cucumber!!

Somaye, thanks for your comment. I’m thinking what you mean by cucumbers is pickles…I used pickles, which are salty. I like “Claussen” because their pickles are super yummy and crunchy (and one of the only kinds of pickles that I see refrigerated) But, I know what you’re talking about…the small pickles. Those are great!
