In a large bowl, mix all ingredients together until nicely mashed and blended.

Serve in a beautiful crystal container and smooth out the surface with the back of a spoon.

Serve over a large layer of lettuce leaves on chilled ice.

Next to the Salad Olivieh, arrange platters or baskets of bread slices for sandwiching; I suggest crusty French sour dough or large pita.
