salade olivier The proper name in English would be "salade olivier". For the history of this salad, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salad_Olivier ....you will find in fascinating.

Some clarifications Dear Simon,

We usually read it without a kasre. It is treated as a main course in Iranian dishes, and is not a side meal as it would be assumed because of the word سالاد in it.

It has no Arabic background at all. It looks to me that the meal should have its origin in the West, but I couldn't find an exact presentation of it at least in the UK.

Regards,

you read it as; oli-veyeh or Ole-viyeh

to pronounce it, depends on what part of the country you are, if you are a Persian Speaking it is pronounced, as Olviyeh, of you are from Azerbaijan ( Oliviyeh ) ....depends

kasre? etymology? many thanks – is there a kasre between the two words سالاد الـویه?

Any ideas on etymology at all, by any chance? The word looks Arabic to me.
