Salad Olivieh (Persian Chicken Salad) - Cooking with Yousef

Hi Friends, I have gotten a handful of requests for this dish, so today, we make an Iranian appetizer and sandwich favorite, "Salad Olivieh (سالاد الویه) which is "Persian Chicken Salad" that also includes potatoes and eggs.

This is originally a Russian dish, but has been adapted to Persian tastes, and is served mostly as an hors d'oeuvre, or in a sandwich.

Take care, please share, and I'll see you soon!

Ingredients:
- 750 grams Chicken Breast
- 5 Eggs
- 6 or 7 Potatoes
- 1 Small Onion
- 1 or 2 Small Carrots
- 2 Tablespoon Lime Juice
- 3 Tablespoon Olive Oil
- 200 Grams Persian Pickled Cucumber (Khiar Soor)
- 5 to 7 Full Tablespoon Mayonnaise
- 3 Teaspoon Salt (too taste, can use less)
- 1 Teaspoon White Pepper Powder
- 1/4 Teaspoon Red Pepper
- 1/4 Teaspoon Black Pepper

I love Salad Olivieh I havnt had it for years and used to eat it till I felt sick 😀
Its a very rich dish

Great one Yousef! In Serbia(and I think in rest of Balkan too) we call it Russian salad and it is always served during any festivity. We use same ingredients with small difference in preparation. We cut potato and chicken into cubes and sometimes add some ham but everything else is basically the same. I recommend it to anyone who didn't try! Its great!

Greetings to you Mr. Yousef from Los Angeles, first of all I want to thank you for sharing all these delicious Persian foods that you make, I am of Armenian descent I was born in Tehran, and I love food, I make many dishes like you do both in Persian and Armenian, I can't wait for the next video, again thank you for sharing with the rest of the world.

I've seen many recipes, but again... my persian husband only likes the food when I follow your recipes Yousef kheily mamnoon, Doset daram azizam! Muchas gracias! 😊

I ate this at my work colleagues house (he and his wife are persian) and I was really suprised at how well it tasted, I have never eaten anything like that in my country before(Austria). My suggestion for everyone is cook this for your parties and serve it before main course, people will ask you for the recipe!
