Over the years, it gained in popularity not only in Russia, but throughout the rest of the Soviet Union and Europe. It is one of the traditional dishes at the New Year’s Celebration. Oivier salad became a part of any holiday feast, especially New Year and Christmas celebration. I modified the recipe and made it plant-based, which is much healthier.
