Cooking tips
Use only natural yogurt without additives or sweeteners—it holds its shape better and has a richer flavor.
Don't overdo it with yogurt—it should just bind the ingredients together, not make the salad watery.
For a more piquant flavor, add a pinch of black pepper or dried garlic.
If you want a fresher taste, add a drop of lemon juice.
To make the dressing even more flavorful, add a pinch of mustard or herbs.
Serve Olivier with chicken and yogurt immediately after assembly to ensure the ingredients retain their flavor and texture.
This recipe can be adapted to any vegetables—try adding carrots or potatoes.
