Brief history of Russian salad

Tradition suggests that this salad originates from Moscow (Russia). The original recipe was made in this place by a French chef around 1860. However, long before, there was already a “Russian” salad.

In fact, there are many references prior to 1860 that suggest the existence of a “Russian recipe. ” However, the one who made the Russian salad popular in other parts of the world was a Russian chef of Franco-Belgian origin, Lucien Olivier, hence the salad has acquired that name.
