Salad E Oliveh Persian Potato Egg Chicken Salad Recipes

SALAD-E OLIVEH -PERSIAN POTATO, EGG, CHICKEN SALAD

Steps:

• 1. This recipe will serve up to 4 people. Most of the work is in the preparation of the ingredients. It's always best to prepare all your ingredients. There's a lot of vegetables to peel and chop, cook and mash.
• 2. If you have to cook the chicken specifically for this dish you can either fry it or poach it. I usually poach it in seasoned water with a teaspoon of lime juice.
• 3. Once you have finished all the preparation and the cooked ingredients have cooled down, add all of them together in a large mixing bowl. Pour on the mayonnaise, add the lime juice, salt and pepper and gently mix. The ingredients should adhere to each other with the mayo and now your Salad Olivieh is ready to serve.
• 4. It should be served cold. Present the Salad Olivieh in a dish of your choice and decorate with strips of carrot, or gherkins and olives. You can decorate it in which ever way you choose.
• 5. Traditionally, Salad Oliveh is mounded on a platter and covered with additional mayonnaise mixed with a little lime juice spread over like frosting then decorated as you like.
• 6. The key to this salad is having all vegetables finely diced except potatoes which are roughly mashed. Sliced green olives make a wonderful addition along with a drizzle of olive oil over top. A meal in itself.

SALAD-E SHIRAZI (PERSIAN CUCUMBER, TOMATO AND ONION SALAD)

Steps:

• Remove alternating stripes of peel on cucumbers and trim ends. Dice cucumbers into 1/4-inch pieces and place in a large bowl with onion and fresh herbs. Using your fingers to break up any large pieces, gently grind the dried mint into the bowl. Remove tomato cores, dice remaining tomatoes into 1/4-inch pieces and add to bowl.
• In a small bowl, make a vinaigrette by whisking together 1/4 cup lime juice, oil, 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Just before serving, dress vegetables with vinaigrette and stir to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and lime juice as needed. This salad should be bright, crunchy and tart, a nice counterpoint for rich, buttery rice and unctuous stews. Serve at room temperature or lightly chilled. Cover and refrigerate leftovers for up to 2 days.
