One of my favourite things about sharing stories from Iran is discovering how similar so many of our experiences are.
Every time I talk about a childhood memory, a family tradition, or a dish I grew up with, people from all over the world show up in the comments with their own version of the same story. And I love that.
Salad Olivieh is one of those dishes.
Originally inspired by Russian Olivier Salad, it became a staple in Iran and evolved into something uniquely its own. Like many foods around the world, it reflects centuries of cultural exchange, adaptation, and local tastes.
The classic Iranian version is usually made with chicken or cold cuts and often includes green peas. This is my vegetarian version. I swap in extra pickles and carrots for more colour and crunch, and lighten the dressing with yogurt instead of using only mayonnaise.
The result is creamy, tangy, nostalgic, and one of my favourite picnic and sandwich fillings.
Recipe is in the link in my bio.
