Royal Rooster Salad

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 2 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   It is better to prepare the ingredients for the salad in advance. Boil the tongue with spices and salt until tender, immediately plunge it into cold water (you can use ice), then it will be easily cleaned. Boil and peel the potatoes and carrots. Boil the eggs hard, cool and remove the shell. Drain the brine from the olives. Boil the shrimp in salted water (it’s good to add dill and lemon) and cool. Peel the onion. Boil fresh green peas by placing in boiling water for 1-2 minutes.

2. STEP 2

   

   Cut the onion into small cubes and place in a small bowl.

   Add salt, sugar, vinegar and pour boiling water so that the water covers the onion. Leave the onions to marinate while you prepare the salad.
