My general salad with chicken puff

The general among festive puff salads! The salad is widely known for good reason - it is very filling and tasty. I would classify this salad as a men's salad, because there is chicken, potatoes, onions, garlic... But women are not far behind men - everyone loves the General. When I prepare layered salads in salad bowls, I grate the ingredients on a fine grater, so the salad soaks in better and faster. When in forms - on a coarse grater, the salad looks more beautiful, but it takes more time to soak - such salads taste better after a day.

  1. STEP 1

  2. STEP 2

    STEP 2

    Grate the beets on a coarse grater. If it is too juicy, almost “floating”, it is better to squeeze the juice out of it by lightly squeezing it over a bowl. Before the procedure, I recommend wearing rubber gloves so as not to stain the skin of your hands. Squeeze the garlic into the beets through a garlic press. Salt the beet mass and stir.
