Cooking Instructions:
Step 1: Start by preparing all the ingredients for the salad. Peel and dice the boiled potatoes and carrots into small cubes. Chop the pickles into small pieces. Set aside.
Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced potatoes, carrots, pickles, boiled peas, and chopped hard-boiled eggs. Mix well to evenly distribute the ingredients.
Step 3: Add mayonnaise to the bowl and gently toss the salad until all the ingredients are coated with the creamy dressing. Season with salt and black pepper according to your taste.
Step 4: Once the salad is well-mixed and seasoned, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together and the salad to chill.
Step 5: Serve the Olivier Salad chilled as a side dish or as a main course. It pairs well with grilled meats, sandwiches, or can be enjoyed on its own as a light and refreshing meal.
