Remember how we used to do without pizza and sushi at the holidays? After all lived the same?! And the simple salad was missing. That recall the well-forgotten past: mimosa, olives, salad, herring under a fur coat, cheese and garlic.
Yes, fat and in calories, and it was sometimes difficult to get the ingredients for the "Basin" salad "Olivier".
However, almost every family on birthdays and Christmas tables preparing one or more classic Soviet salads.
And in our family until now, whenever going for generations, be sure to prepare the salads. And that such Soviet recipe I want to share with you.
Who remembers himself - once again refresh your memory, and will be useful to learn something new for the younger generation.
Salad "Herring under a fur coat"
Favorite salad most men. Herring in Soviet times it was possible to get almost always. And the quality of it again, it was on the level. But one does not naeshsya salted fish, so it began to add boiled beets, pickled onions, mayonnaise and other ingredients. History has not preserved the name of the author of the Soviet salad, but it is firmly established in the arsenal of many Soviet housewives.
Incidentally, onions marinated better really use - its sharpness is combined with the sweetness of beets and salt herring. Preparing for this miracle as follows:
- herring fillets - 350 grams
- Boiled carrots - 3 pieces
- boiled beets - 3 pieces (preferably more)
- boiled potatoes - 4 pieces (500 grams)
- onions - one piece
- Boiled Eggs - 3 pieces
- salt, pepper, mayonnaise
Herring cut into small cubes, remove the bones and spread a layer on the bottom of a large plate. Finely chop the onions and spread on top. Lubricates mayonnaise. Three on a coarse grater potatoes, spread layer lubricates mayonnaise. Next layer carrots and mayonnaise. Then the eggs and mayonnaise, and from the top - grated beets. In the process of eating and layers can be mixed, but it's as you like. Very satisfying out, especially when you consider that the Soviet mayonnaise was much thicker and fatter modern. Yes, and some housewives know how to cook it yourself. And on top of boiled yolk crumble or make fine mesh of mayonnaise. Mmmm... already I want!
Mimosa salad"
Good, this salad! And yes, the Soviet salad has undergone major changes, with respect to the original recipe. Initially, there was a boiled fish, and even it was not about the potatoes. But the calorie amount and had to somehow improve, so the hostess began to add to a salad grated boiled potatoes. This flattens the taste, but increases the nutritional value. And then all the fish canned replaced. Saury, mackerel, sardine - who you like and what is available.
Preparing this dish is as follows:
- Canned saury - 1 can (better to take it saury, but go and sardines)
- boiled potatoes - 400 grams
- Boiled carrots - 300 grams
- boiled eggs - 4 pieces
- onion
- grated cheese - 150 grams
- mayonnaise, salt, pepper
So. We reveal the jar, poured the excess fluid (not all, because the need for juiciness) and spread on a wide plate layer. Mash with a fork.
Lubricates mayonnaise. Separate the whites from the yolks, rub them on a grater, spread over the fish and oil the mayonnaise.
Then a layer of grated carrots and mayonnaise. Then a layer of onions and potatoes, again rubbed. And with mayonnaise.
Then cheese and again, mayonnaise and sprinkle with grated on top of all the yolks. Mayonnaise is not necessary to pour a lot, otherwise it will be too bold. The order of the layers may vary. But always from the bottom fish, and on top - cheese and egg yolks. By the way, most of the salad prepared without cheese. Well, for an amateur in general.
Salad "Vinaigrette"
The original recipe salad can be detected even in cookbooks of the nineteenth century. Only there was beef, pickled apples, plums, olives and mushrooms. In short, products that Soviet man to get it would be difficult to say the least. Become simplified, with the result that there was one of the most popular classic Soviet salads.
Preparing it this way:
- boiled potatoes - 600 grams
- boiled beet - 400 grams
- Boiled carrots - 400 grams
- sauerkraut - 400g
- pickles - 200 grams
- sunflower oil, salt, pepper
All this is cut into large (a must!) Into cubes, mix in a large pan, seasoned with oil, salt and pepper. Sour cabbage with cucumbers are perfectly combined with sweet beets. Well, it turns out nutritionally, of course.
The salad can be added: onions or green onions, parsley, peas or beans.

Salad "Olivier"
This salad is far from the classic creations of the restaurant chef Lucien Olivier. And no wonder, because originally a part of the recipe were hazel, cucumber, olives, truffles, crayfish and all there gherkins. And where is all this get? That had to be replaced by cheaper counterparts.
Instead, grouse and crayfish - boiled sausage, instead of fresh cucumbers - salty, and so on. Even potatoes were added for greater satiety. And, you know, pretty well the same happened.
The combination of taste and nutritional value make a salad "Olivier" the most important representative Soviet salads and a desirable attribute of each holiday.
Preparing, if suddenly someone does not remember it like this:
- boiled potatoes - 4 pieces (500-600 grams)
- boiled eggs - 4 pieces
- Boiled carrots - one piece (average)

- boiled sausage - 250-300 grams
- pickles - 4 pieces (small)
- Bank of canned green peas
- salt, pepper, mayonnaise
All the ingredients are cut into cubes and mix. Fill salt, pepper and mayonnaise. By the way, is another departure from the classical recipe: original salad was a puff. But in the process of simplification and it changed.
Salad with melted cheese and garlic
It is probably the most simple, but highly nutritious classic Soviet salad. Even his own name was not there. And the popularity he gained not at once, but only with the spread of the legendary cheeses "Druzhba". However, the salad turned out to be extremely well-known and how poslenovogodny breakfast and as a snack.
Especially I love the brutal man of my childhood, with vodka. :)
Preparing it this way:
- processed cheese - 300 grams (3 classic cheeses)
- Boiled Eggs - 3 pieces
- garlic cloves - 3 pieces
- salt, pepper, mayonnaise
Curd while kept in a freezer, and then rubbed on a coarse grater and mixed with eggs and melkonarublennymi crushed garlic. Refill it all with mayonnaise, add salt and pepper. The resulting mixture can even be spread on bread as an appetizer.
By the way, we have prepared this salad without eggs. Only cheese, garlic and mayonnaise. Now I also prepare this salad toppings for rolls of salmon, tartlets or pita. Or you may simply cut the smoked fish in it. Yummy!
These recipes are still not lost their relevance.
Let is now the fashion for festive snacks changed greatly, but classic Soviet salads until now constant attribute of many feasts and banquets. And they are delicious!
