Family-Style Olivier Salad Recipe for Celebrations

Start by *peeling and dicing the raw potatoes and carrot* into small cubes. This will ensure they cook evenly and blend well with the other ingredients.

Next, place the *diced vegetables into a baking dish lined with parchment paper*. This makes for easy cleanup later.

Preheat your oven to *180°C (350°F)*. Once the oven is ready, *bake the vegetables* for about *50 to 60 minutes* or until they are tender. Make sure to check occasionally to avoid overcooking.

After baking, allow the vegetables to *cool down completely* while you prepare the other ingredients.

While the vegetables are cooling, take the remaining ingredients and *cut them into small cubes*. This includes the turkey ham, cornichons, boiled eggs, and the sour green apple.

Having all ingredients chopped and ready will make the mixing process smoother.

In a large bowl, *combine all the chopped ingredients* along with the cooled vegetables. Gently mix them together to ensure even distribution without mashing the vegetables.

Next, prepare your *homemade mayonnaise* to dress the salad.

In a bowl, *combine the egg yolks, mustard, and salt*. Use a blender to mix until *thickened* and you have a *smooth, consistent texture*.

Gradually add in the olive oil while blending continuously. Finally, add the lemon juice and black pepper for flavor. Your mayonnaise is now ready!

Pour the prepared mayonnaise over the salad mixture and *mix gently until everything is well coated*. Taste the salad to adjust seasonings if necessary.

Chill the salad in the refrigerator for a while before serving; this allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.

Your *delicious Olivier salad* is now ready to be served! Enjoy it with family and friends during festive occasions.
