How much Olivier can actually be stored
 

Christmas tree, champagne, tangerines, Olivier – not a single New Year can do without them. A popular salad is usually prepared in large quantities and, of course, all of it is not eaten on New Year’s Eve.

But the shelf life of Olivier is not great: 

  • Olivier dressed with mayonnaise can be stored for 9-12 hours at temperatures from -2 to + 2 ° C.
  • Olivier without mayonnaise can be stored for 12-18 hours at temperatures from +2 to + 6 ° C.
  • The salad, which is on the table at room temperature, should be eaten within 3-4 hours. Then it starts to deteriorate.

This is a meat salad, and even with mayonnaise. This dish is not worth a long time, as pathogenic bacteria develop rapidly in it, regardless of the storage location. ” 

The only way to extend the life of Olivier is to cut everything you need for it in advance and store it in different containers without mixing. If this is not possible, mix the meat, carrots and potatoes. But add canned salad parts at the last moment. And it is better to season the salad with mayonnaise just before serving.

 

It is better to choose enamel, glass or plastic dishes for storing Olivier. Mandatory – with a lid. Or cover tightly with cling film.
