Salad New Year's balls

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 40 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make a New Year's ball salad? Prepare the products according to the list. You can replace crab sticks with crab meat if you wish. You can use any cheese for the salad (processed cheese, mozzarella, etc.) I took suluguni.

2. STEP 2

   

   Pre-boil and peel the eggs, carrots and beets.

3. STEP 3

   

   Cool the eggs and grate them on a fine grater.

4. STEP 4

   

   If you take hard cheese, grate it on a grater with small holes. If you choose processed, just stir it into the salad with the rest of the ingredients.

5. STEP 5

   

   Peel the crab sticks from the film and grate them on a fine grater; it will be easier to chop them if they are slightly frozen.

6. STEP 6

   

   Place chopped eggs, cheese and crab sticks in one bowl, add mayonnaise.

7. STEP 7

   

   Mix all ingredients in a bowl until smooth; add a little salt if desired. The resulting mass will be the basis of our salad.

8. STEP 8

   

   Now prepare the top layers for the Christmas balls. Grate the carrots.

9. STEP 9

   

   Grate the beets too, preferably on a coarse grater, so that they do not release excess juice.

10. STEP 10

    

    Wash the dill and parsley well and dry. Finely chop the dill - you will need it for rolling the salad balls in it. From parsley you will only need sprigs - “loops” to decorate the balls.

11. STEP 11

    

    Now form balls from the prepared salad mass, slightly larger than a walnut, do this while wearing thin gloves. From this amount of products I got exactly 10 balls.

12. STEP 12

    

    Roll the resulting balls in carrots, beets and dill, together or separately, as you like. Finally, decorate the balls with a cut half of an olive and a sprig of parsley; it should turn out beautiful and tasty. Bon appetit!
