Monomakh's Cap classic salad with pomegranate and chicken

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 2 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   Products we need to prepare Monomakh's Cap salad.

2. STEP 2

   

   Our salad will be layered. Therefore, we grate or cut vegetables and other products into separate containers. We grate the peeled apple on a coarse grater, and to prevent it from darkening, be sure to pour lemon juice on it. Before forming the salad, drain the juice. In a separate container, grate the white of an egg, previously hard-boiled and peeled, on a coarse grater.

3. STEP 3

   

   Grate boiled and peeled potatoes on a coarse grater. Three egg yolks on a fine grater, do the same with the cheese.

4. STEP 4

   

   Prepare the sauce by mixing mayonnaise with garlic, passed through a press, salt and spices (I took ground black pepper).

5. STEP 5

   

   Cut the prunes into strips.

6. STEP 6

   

   Boiled or baked in the oven, then grate the peeled beets on a coarse grater.

7. STEP 7

   

   Chop the greens (I used parsley). You can take dill or other herbs, depending on your taste.

8. STEP 8

   

   We take a large dish and lay out all the products we have prepared in layers, greasing them with a little mayonnaise. It is advisable to divide all the products into two parts and lay out several layers, but remember that each subsequent one should be slightly smaller than the previous one. To make the salad less fatty and use less mayonnaise, you can mix some drier foods, such as potatoes, with mayonnaise in advance. Our first layer will be potatoes.

9. STEP 9

   

   Then place the beets on top, sprinkle with salt, pepper, and chopped nuts (for a brighter taste, you can lightly fry them in a frying pan in advance).

10. STEP 10

    

    Then add a layer of chicken fillet cut into small cubes, boiled in advance or fried in a frying pan in oil (I used it boiled). Sprinkle with salt and pepper.

11. STEP 11

    

    The next layer is greenery.

12. STEP 12

    

    Then add the prunes, not forgetting the mayonnaise.

13. STEP 13

    

    Prunes are “friends” with nuts, so sprinkle this layer with them a little.

14. STEP 14

    

    Spread the next layer of grated cheese, leaving most of it for decorating the salad.

15. STEP 15

    

    Next is a layer of apples.

16. STEP 16

    

    Then - a layer of yolks. And now we repeat all the layers: potatoes, beets, some nuts, chicken, greens, prunes, some more nuts, cheese, apples, yolks. We coat the layers with mayonnaise, not forgetting about salt and pepper, trying not to overdo it with spices.

17. STEP 17

    

    We make the edge of the cap from the remaining grated cheese, coated with mayonnaise, on top of which we pour the grated protein.

18. STEP 18

    

    Sprinkle walnuts on top of the edge, imitating fur. We decorate the hat with pomegranate seeds (I divided the dome of the hat into eight sections to maintain the symmetry of the pattern), green peas (I needed 4 peas), imitating precious stones.

19. STEP 19

    

    The crown of the hat is made from red onions decorated with pomegranate seeds. Our wonderful Monomakh’s Hat salad is ready. We invite guests and try it. Bon Appetit everyone!
