Christina This Vegan Olivier Salad aka Vegan Russian Salad is so fresh, creamy, delicious, and full of flavour. Perfect to enjoy for Easter, Midsummer, and during the warmer months, but honestly just as good all year round! It’s ready in half an hour and you only need 7 ingredients to make it. The perfect starter or side dish to enjoy along with your favourite mains. It’s also amazing to enjoy in a sandwich along with The Best Vegan Tuna (Gluten-Free & Healthy).
Although Olivier Salad is a traditional Russian dish, it is also very popular in Spain (where I’m originally from), being one of the most popular “tapas” served at bars along with Tortilla de Patatas (Spanish potato omelette).
This is our vegan version of the vegan Olivier salad that’s made in Spain. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
This was one of my favourite childhood dishes, so when I went vegan my mum worked hard to veganize it for me so I could enjoy it again. I honestly can barely tell the difference, and in both our opinions, this one is even better. It’s cholesterol-free and much healthier.
This dish is made using our Vegan Mayonnaise. We have a recipe for a Low-Calorie & Healthy Cashew Vegan Mayonnaise in case you’re interested in making this recipe very healthy. You can also use store-bought vegan mayonnaise. We have tried using the brand Hellmann’s and personally love the results!
