I’ve been eating Olivier Salad or “Ruska Salata” for as long as I can remember and it’s one of my favorite 🎄 holiday traditions. This potato salad also known as Салат Оливье is a staple in many households around the world. You can find this potato salad on the table in every 🇧🇬 Bulgarian home and other neighboring countries around Christmas and New Year. Based on my research, the original version of the salad was invented in the 1860s by a cook of Belgian origin by the name of Lucien Olivier.
