General's salad with radish

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 40 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make General's salad with radish? Boil chicken fillet, potatoes, eggs, beets in advance. I add salt when cooking, so I don’t add salt to the salad ingredients. We lay out the salad in layers, so prepare a transparent salad bowl or a flat dish and a circle (I make it from paper).

2. STEP 2

   

   1st layer – grate the boiled potatoes on a coarse grater, brush with mayonnaise.

3. STEP 3

   

   2nd layer – grate the radish on a fine grater. Squeeze the juice out of it, lay out a layer of radish, add a little salt, and brush this layer with sour cream, it will soften the taste of the radish.

4. STEP 4

   

   3rd layer - grate raw carrots on a coarse grater, then mayonnaise; when greasing with mayonnaise, lightly press down all layers.

5. STEP 5

   

   4th layer – finely chop the chicken fillet, then mayonnaise.

6. STEP 6

   

   5th layer – finely chop the onion, then mayonnaise. If the onion is bitter, pour boiling water over it and rinse under cold water.

7. STEP 7

   

   6th layer – grate the apple and mayonnaise on a coarse grater.

8. STEP 8

   

   7th layer - divide the eggs into whites and yolks, grate them separately, leave some for decoration, put the rest in a layer, then mayonnaise.

9. STEP 9

   

   8th layer – grate the beets on a coarse grater, coat them with mayonnaise and mix slightly with the beets so that the mayonnaise is colored with beet juice. Then you will get a beautiful raspberry-pink shade of the layer, with burgundy veins of beets.

10. STEP 10

    

    You can decorate to your taste. I decorated the edges with grated egg yolk and the center with egg white. Then remove the circle from the paper, cut its edge and carefully remove it. You can stop here - the salad is ready!

11. STEP 11

    

    If you want to decorate with a carrot flower, then continue. Take the sharp part of the carrot.

12. STEP 12

    

    Using a sharp knife, cut out the petals, starting from the wide end of the carrot to the sharp end. Cut within 1 cm of the end of the carrot.

13. STEP 13

    

    Cut in a checkerboard pattern. That is, cut the next circle of petals where there was a gap in the previous circle.

14. STEP 14

    

    Then you need to sharpen the middle of the carrot, carefully cut off its corners. And cut the lowest wide petals in half to make the petals thicker.

15. STEP 15

    

    Place the carrot flower in the center of the salad, but do not press too hard, as the salad will spread (if it is on a flat dish). If you put it in a deep salad bowl, you can press the flower into the salad. Then make leaves from the feathers of green onions, you can use fresh parsley.

    General's salad is ready! Bon appetit everyone!
