Chicken salad
Description
The recipe won't take much time. In Soviet times, "Olivier" salad with chicken was often called "Stolichny" (Capital salad), although this name usually appeared on restaurant and café menus, while at home it remained the same beloved "olivier." This familiar salad has now become a legend. People talk and write a lot about it, recall its history, discuss its ingredients and dressing, but let's focus on the familiar, classic version made with chicken. Serve it at the table.
