Classic version

The composition of the Olivier salad is very exotic for Russian cuisine. Therefore, it is very different from what we are used to seeing on the New Year's table. Grouse, lobster and capers are included in the French composition of Olivier. The classic version is not popular in Russia, which is not surprising at all. Not every day we eat the same hazel grouse.
