Detailed description: Olivier salad in tartlets, recipes with photos from the chef for gourmets and housewives from various sources.
Well, what would New Year be without the beloved and traditional Olivier salad? That's right - not real! Everyone prepares Olivier salad, despite the traditional composition and recipe. The first recipe of 2016 at the Home Restaurant will be this legendary salad, but we will prepare Olivier in a new way, in very tasty shortbread tartlets.
My Olivier salad recipe was the result of a series of 20 years of experiments with ingredients, and this particular composition of the bearded salad is one of the most beloved in our family. Friends often ask to list the ingredients, eat it and praise: “What a delicious Olivier,” but my husband never eats this salad when visiting, he says that it tastes better at home.
To give the salad a festive look, I decided to make New Year's tartlets with Olivier salad. The result was interesting and cute baskets with Olivier salad, which the children especially liked. Of course, if you specially prepare Olivier in tartlets for children, then it is best to use homemade mayonnaise as a dressing, and the remaining ingredients according to the recipe below. Olivier salad for tartlets is not much different from a regular salad, but let's take everything in order. Ingredients:For the salad:
Additionally:
Preparation:
Boil potatoes, carrots, eggs and pork in advance. Cut these ingredients into cubes, as in the photo.
Now we will pickle the onions. Peel the onion and chop it as finely as possible. Next, add a pinch of salt, a pinch of sugar and the juice of half a lemon to the onion. Now crush the onion with your hands several times and leave it alone until the salt and sugar are completely dissolved. Squeeze the pickled onions from excess juice and transfer to a separate bowl. For the recipe for Olivier salad in tartlets, we will need about 1/3 of all the onions that we prepared, or about 1 tablespoon.Place all the chopped ingredients in a deep salad bowl, add pickled onions, finely chopped parsley, mayonnaise, ground pepper and salt.
Mix thoroughly with a spoon and add more mayonnaise if needed so that the salad is not dry. Now fill the tartlets with salad. We carefully place three or four pieces of lettuce leaves at the bottom of each basket, and then fill it with a teaspoon of Olivier salad. Place the finished tartlets on a plate and serve. I wish you bon appetit and happy holidays! Tips and tricks:Many housewives add a fresh apple to Olivier for juiciness, but pickled onions do the job perfectly. This pickled onion recipe is versatile and suitable for many salads and appetizers.
If you suddenly happen to have shallots or blue Yalta onions in your refrigerator, consider yourself lucky - these types of onions don’t need to be pickled and go straight into the salad. For my Olivier salad recipe, only cold pickled cucumbers are suitable, and in no case canned or pickled. You can buy such cucumbers at the market or in a supermarket, but you can also try them at the market.
You need to season the salad with mayonnaise before serving. Fill the tartlets with salad before serving as well. If you do this earlier, the snack will become weathered and will look unappetizing.
It’s rare that a holiday feast is complete without salads. As a rule, at least two types of these dishes are put on the table. They are made mixed and layered, decorated with herbs, olives, citrus fruits and figuratively chopped vegetables. You can also serve the salad in tartlets - such an appetizer will look beautiful, festive and will definitely please your guests. You can fill the “baskets” with any ingredients, it all depends on the available products and the imagination of the hostess.
You can quickly and easily prepare tartlets with crab salad.
Attention! The volume of ingredients is indicated for 10 - 12 “baskets”.
By-products go well with mushrooms, and therefore you can safely prepare liver salad in tartlets, adding fresh champignons or oyster mushrooms to it.
Advice. To prevent the tartlets from getting soggy, fill them with salad immediately before serving.
This snack will be very high in calories and filling.
Since this salad contains a small amount of mayonnaise, you can fill the tartlets in advance, about 30 - 40 minutes before serving.
Seafood contains a large amount of useful substances and has a pronounced taste.
There is no need to add salt to this salad, since mayonnaise and canned shrimp contain sufficient salt.
To prepare such a salad, you can take boiled or smoked chicken, it all depends on the preferences of the hostess and her guests.
Important! You need to add very little sour cream and mustard sauce. Otherwise, it will mix with the juice released from the pineapples, and the salad will quickly “leak.”
Using lightly salted red fish, you can make an original and beautiful appetizer.
Advice. If the housewife is not sure that she can form “flowers” from fish, you can simply chop all the ingredients, mix and put in tartlets, decorating each portion with an olive.
The traditional and rather boring Olivier salad can be turned into an original appetizer by serving it in tartlets and slightly changing the composition.

Just a note. If desired, you can add chopped green onions or chopped dill to the list of ingredients. And for those who cannot imagine Olivier salad without peas, it is better to put them instead of grated apple.
Cod liver is often added to salads and without any problems you can make a filling for tartlets based on it.
To make the snack more satisfying, it is permissible to add boiled potatoes to its composition.
Another hearty appetizer is tartlets filled with smoked chicken and mushrooms.
Just a note. Fans of spicy dishes can use mustard mixed with sour cream or mayonnaise as a salad sauce.
This is the easiest tartlet salad recipe for a birthday or other holiday. At the same time, the snack turns out to be very satisfying and tasty.
Before serving, the salad, piled in tartlets, should be garnished with finely chopped fresh herbs.
To prepare such a festive dish, you will need canned squid. You can decorate the tartlets with pomegranate seeds.
If you don’t want to bother with pomegranates, you can decorate the appetizer with finely chopped pitted olives.
Korean carrots are delicious on their own, but you can use them to make a variety of tartlet salads. Let's consider one of the options.
Since Korean carrots will still release juice, you only need to add the filling to the tartlets before serving.
The number of servings should be such that they are eaten immediately. There is no need to prepare such a snack in reserve.
We looked at the most common tartlet salad recipes. Each of them will bring a delicious and elegant note to your holiday, which simply cannot be found in a large and prim salad bowl.

Of course, if you have time, you can bake tartlet baskets yourself, but most often we buy them in the store, it’s easier and faster. Even in size and appearance they are different: salad or small for caviar, they can be sweet or salty. You can even put and serve julienne and other portioned hot dishes in them, which will only benefit from such a design. In general, for every taste and table. Here I will present some tartlet filling recipes.
Such elegant baskets for the New Year will greatly enliven your table setting. Bright, colorful, with a variety of fillings, they simply attract attention and all guests want to try them as soon as possible. Of course the question arises, what to fill the tartlets with?
For a table with a large number of dishes, it is best to choose two or three fillings, this will be quite enough.
For example, the filling with red caviar is simply ideal, both beautiful and, importantly, economical. Place a small piece of soft butter on one edge of the tartlet, and on the other side put red caviar and decorate everything with a small sprig of dill. Place the finished tartlets on a dish, having previously placed lettuce leaves on it. Isn't it beautiful?
Also, various savory snacks are very suitable for these purposes. Today we’ll take the one I made with cheese and garlic for tomatoes. Place a small pile of the appetizer in the baskets, and for decoration take a slice of boiled chicken egg and an olive. Just as in the previous version, we place the baskets on a dish with herbs.
And a wonderful addition to all this will be hot julienne baked directly into tartlets. You will surprise your guests with this serving of julienne, and if it cools down, it’s okay, it will be delicious even when cooled. This version of julienne will save you from the need to have a large amount of dishes for it at home.
Here you can show off a huge variety of different fillings, especially salad ones. This form of serving several types of salads will greatly facilitate your work, and your guests will be pleasantly surprised. Just choose small tartlets for such tables, which are called one bite. This way they will take up less space on the dish and table, and will also be more economical, which is important when there are a large number of guests.
Of the salad fillings, probably the simplest would be Olivier, as in the photo, just cut the ingredients for it a little smaller than usual. We put the finished salad in baskets, and then you can decorate it with a slice of cucumber and any greens, or you don’t have to decorate it. They are completely self-sufficient.
Of course, tartlets with various seafood and fish salads take their place of honor; there are simply many options. You can fill them with shrimp and red fish, adding fresh vegetables or soft cheese and even canned fish. The most important thing in such salads is simplicity.
You shouldn’t start super complex salads or appetizers; the presentation itself implies unusualness and variety.
And don’t forget about sweet dessert tartlets, they also have their place. Especially at children's parties. Fill them with pieces of fruit, any sweet soufflé, cottage cheese or sour cream dessert. Believe me, children eat these baskets instantly.
I wish you bon appetit and a beautifully set table!
Olivier is a salad that many of us love. Housewives often have a question: for guests, one of the options for conveniently serving salad in portions on the table is serving Olivier in tartlets.
The recipe for the salad itself is the same as regular Olivier recipes, only the serving is different - in tartlets, which you can buy ready-made in the store or prepare these baskets yourself.
Tartlet- baked goods in the form of a small edible basket, the diameter of which is usually up to 10 cm. Tartlets are prepared from shortcrust pastry and involve the subsequent addition of filling to them. They can be filled with both sweet fillings and meat, fish and vegetable snacks.
Consider making your own tartlets for later filling with Olivier salad.
Margarine or butter is softened at room temperature, flour is added and the mixture is mixed well with your fingers until it becomes a paste. Next, sour cream and baking powder are added, after which the dough is kneaded. After kneading, the tartlet dough is placed in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
The dough is laid out in metal molds and pressed down in the center with a weight. If there is no special weight for baking (ceramic balls), then you can put parchment paper on top of the dough and press the dough into the mold with peas, beans or salt.
Bake the tartlets in the oven at 180 for 15 minutes. Readiness can be determined visually - the tartlets will take on a golden color. The finished baskets need to be cooled and removed from the mold. Before filling Olivier tattoos, they must cool to room temperature.
A unique version of serving such a popular New Year's salad as Olivier will appeal to many, because now the dish will be portioned. To create it, you need to purchase a classic set of ingredients and boil some of them in advance, for example: potatoes, carrots - for 25-30 minutes, chicken eggs for 10-15 minutes. Then hot foods need to be cooled in cold water.
Tartlets can be either shortbread or waffle, but you need to fill them with salad only before serving, so that the dough base does not get soggy. By the way, today there are so many options for preparing Olivier that you can create several of these salads, following your culinary imagination and your taste.
1. Peel the pre-boiled vegetables, rinse and cut the potatoes into medium cubes, pouring the slices into a deep salad bowl.
2. Cut the carrots in the same way, adding them to the container.
3. Carefully uncork the jar of canned green peas and add the marinade from it. Add peas to the salad bowl.
4. Next, slice the pickled cucumber, but be sure to let the slice “rest” for 5 minutes so that the brine is released from it, then squeeze it out and add it to the container.
5. Pour in the milk sausage, chopped in the same way. If desired, it can be replaced with boiled chicken fillet, beef, ham or smoked sausage. By the way, the salad with red fish is very tasty!
6. Peel the shells from the boiled eggs, cut them into cubes and add them to the container along with mayonnaise. Add salt and pepper to the dish.
Probably the most popular salad in Russia is Olivier. Each housewife has her own secrets for preparing it.
For example, I prepare Olivier salad with fresh cucumbers. I also really like serving it in tartlets.
Thanks to this method of serving, the dish not only looks original on the table, but also acquires a more interesting and vibrant taste, because tartlets are an excellent alternative to bread.
To prepare the salad, it is best to use large or medium-sized molds, since small ones clog the taste of the salad.
Ingredients:
Large tartlets – 25 pieces
Fresh cucumbers – 2 pieces
Boiled eggs – 4 pieces
Boiled sausage – 200 grams
Boiled potatoes – 2 pieces
Onions – 1 piece
Canned peas – 2/3 cans
Mayonnaise – for dressing
Salt - to taste
Cooking method:
Let's start preparing the classic Olivier in tartlets.
To begin with, you should choose fresh cucumbers, which should be young and not bitter in taste. Then they should be thoroughly washed and cut into small cubes.
Cut the boiled sausage into the same cubes. To give the dish a brighter and piquant taste, you can add a little smoked sausage; the salad will only benefit from this.
Then you should chop the onion, the finer the better.
Now it’s the turn of boiled eggs and potatoes, which need to be peeled and cut into cubes, as well as cucumbers and sausage.
Place all ingredients in a deep bowl, mix and add canned peas.
Now all that remains is to season the dish with mayonnaise or sour cream, to taste.
We have completed the main part of preparing the salad, now all that remains is to fill the Olivier tartlets with fresh cucumbers.
Do not rush to fill all the molds, as they may become wet if left on the table for a long time.
So we prepared Olivier in tartlets. In my opinion, this turned out to be not just a delicious salad, but also a wonderful appetizer for the holiday table!
Believe me, guests will be delighted with such an unusual presentation of a traditional New Year's dish.
