Salad with crackers and canned fish

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 25 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make a salad with crackers and canned fish? First, prepare all the necessary ingredients. You can use any cracker, but preferably a salty one. I have cookies in the shape of fish. Take large, choice eggs. If the eggs are small, it is better to take 3 pieces. In addition to tuna, you can use any other canned fish to taste.

2. STEP 2

   

   Remove the canned tuna from the can and shake off excess moisture. Mash the fish with a fork. Canned tuna is usually sold in two forms - a piece that needs to be kneaded and for salad, that is, already finely chopped. Take any to your taste.

3. STEP 3

   

   Boil the eggs hard, cool and peel. Separate the whites from the yolks and grate on a fine grater separately into different dishes. Usually a coarse grater is used for whites and cheese, but it has been tested and proven more than once - the finer the ingredients are grated, the more tender and softer the salads, especially puff ones, turn out.

4. STEP 4

   

   Also grate the cheese on a fine grater.

5. STEP 5

   

   Pass the garlic through a press or grate it on a fine grater.

6. STEP 6

   

   Add 1 tsp to the cheese. mayonnaise and garlic.

7. STEP 7

   

   Mix everything well. You should get a homogeneous sticky mass.

8. STEP 8

   

   Place the rest of the mayonnaise in a pastry bag or an ordinary plastic bag and cut off the tip. This way, applying mayonnaise to layers is much more convenient and faster.

9. STEP 9

   

   Place a cooking ring with a diameter of 14-16 cm on a serving plate. Place half of the cracker as the first layer and pour mayonnaise on top.

10. STEP 10

    

    Next, distribute and compact the grated whites and also pour in mayonnaise.

11. STEP 11

    

    Place chopped canned tuna on the whites and fill the layer with mayonnaise.

12. STEP 12

    

    The next layer is the remaining cracker. You don’t have to fill it with mayonnaise, because the next cheese layer already contains mayonnaise.

13. STEP 13

    

    Spread the cheese-garlic layer onto the cracker and smooth it out. It is also not necessary to lubricate it with mayonnaise.

14. STEP 14

    

    Sprinkle grated yolks on top of the salad. You can serve the salad immediately while the cracker is crispy or put it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to soak. If you leave the salad in the refrigerator longer, cover it with cling film on top to prevent the yolks from scorching. At the same time, try not to let the film touch the yolks, otherwise the entire layer will remain on the film when you remove it.

15. STEP 15

    

    Before serving, remove the cooking ring and garnish the salad with crackers and herbs. Bon appetit!

This turned out to be a very unusual salad. I, however, prepared it in a slightly different interpretation. I had 3 layers of crackers and the number of ingredients was slightly different, but overall the composition of the salad was no different. A layer of cheese, garlic and mayonnaise gives it a very spicy note. In combination with tender tuna and protein, this layer goes great. The only disadvantage of this salad is that it is very difficult to achieve a neat cut. Due to the fact that the cracker is quite small, when you lift a portioned piece of salad, the layers fall apart. In my opinion, it is better to prepare this salad in a rectangular form and use a square or rectangular cracker. And when dividing into portions, divide the salad along the perimeter of the cracker. Then the shape of the salad will hold and the pieces of lettuce will be even.
