Classic Olivier Salad (Healthier Version) | Step-by-Step Holiday Recipe

In this video, I’m making a classic Olivier salad - a traditional holiday dish loved across many post-Soviet and Slavic countries. Olivier salad has long been a New Year’s and Christmas tradition, and today I’m showing how to make it step by step, with a lighter, more balanced approach that still tastes rich and comforting. This version uses simple ingredients and gentle swaps, so you can enjoy a familiar favorite while keeping things a bit healthier. I also share easy tips for replacing mayonnaise with olive oil or using a half-and-half option. You’ll see how I grate and layer all the ingredients, assemble the salad in a cake collar, let it rest in the fridge, and then decorate it so it looks beautiful on the table - almost like a savory cake. 🥗 Ingredients used in this recipe: Boiled potatoes - 2 lb Boiled carrots - 2 lb Boiled eggs - 12 Boiled turkey breast - 1 and 1/2 lb Green peas - 1 can Pickles - 1/2 jar Mayonnaise (with lighter alternatives discussed) - 20 oz This is a calm, unhurried cooking video, perfect for watching while you cook, relax, or plan meals. -- -- -- 🔪 Kitchen tool I use and love: The Geedel Grader I use in this video is linked below https://amzn.to/4pbRJHT (#CommissionsEarned) -- -- -- Balanced & Tasty is a space for simple food, gentle wellness, and realistic habits — no pressure, no extremes.
