General salad with beets and smoked chicken

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 40 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make General Salad with beets and smoked chicken? Prepare your ingredients. All vegetables are medium in size; pre-boil them until tender and cool. I took two small legs from smoked chicken; breast and drumsticks would also work. Take red onion, it looks more interesting and is not so spicy. I took “Russian” cheese. I still recommend not replacing mayonnaise in this salad, thanks to it the taste will be richer and the salad will better retain its shape and layers.

2. STEP 2

   

   The salad is arranged in layers. To prepare it, you can take a deep salad bowl or cook it on a beautiful platter using a serving ring. You can also prepare it in portions for each person. I will prepare the salad using a 16 cm diameter serving ring. For the first layer of salad, remove the smoked chicken from the bone, remove the skin and cut into a medium cube. Place the shredded chicken on the bottom of the plate. Make a mayonnaise grid.

3. STEP 3

   

   Peel the skins of the pre-boiled and cooled potatoes and grate them on a coarse grater. Place the grated potatoes in a second layer on the salad (add a little salt to taste) and lightly coat with mayonnaise or make a mayonnaise mesh.

4. STEP 4

   

   Peel the red onion and chop finely. Add the next layer to the salad.

5. STEP 5

   

   Peel the pre-boiled and cooled carrots and grate them on a coarse grater. Place the grated carrots in the next layer on the salad and coat with mayonnaise.

6. STEP 6

   

   Grate the selected cheese on a medium grater and place it in the next layer in the salad. Spread with mayonnaise. Do not use a lot of mayonnaise so as not to interrupt the taste of the ingredients in the salad.

7. STEP 7

   

   Peel the pre-boiled and cooled chicken eggs and grate them on a coarse grater. Mix grated eggs with a small amount of mayonnaise and place in the next layer in the salad.

8. STEP 8

   

   Peel the skins from the pre-boiled and cooled beets. Grate the beets on a coarse grater. Add peeled and pressed garlic, a little mayonnaise and mix. Spread this mixture as the final layer on the salad.

9. STEP 9

   

   Let the prepared salad stand in the refrigerator, so it will be tastier and juicier. Before serving, decorate the salad according to your taste and capabilities. I used fresh dill and basil leaves with thyme for decoration.

General salad with beets and smoked chicken can really be classified as masculine. It's filling, juicy, mouth-watering and delicious! My husband appreciated my efforts. Since I didn’t have smoked chicken, I replaced it with boiled pork. The rest of the ingredients were taken from the list in the recipe. I laid out the salad in layers, carefully placing each next layer and trimming the edges with the flat side of the knife. I prepared the mayonnaise myself by going to the Homemade Mayonnaise section on the website. I added a little salt to all layers according to the author’s advice. Garnished with grated egg white and yolk. I placed parsley leaves on top. After the salad was ready, I let it brew, placing it in the refrigerator. The salad turned out bright and festive! Potatoes gave the salad a richness, carrots and beets a delicate sweetness, onions and garlic a pleasant spice. Simply delicious! Thank you very much!
