Olivieh is a delicious salad of cooked vegetables and chicken breast, which is used as a main food and served with bread. It is mostly maid for casual parties and eaten as a sandwich or on it’s own. Sometimes I mix the mayonnaise or replace it with yougurt to make it healthier, but with mayonnaise only it tastes more delicious .
