Tank salad for February 23 with mushrooms

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   For this salad you will need two shapes: one rectangular for the base of the tank, and the second small bowl for the top of the tank. Both forms need to be covered with cling film. The products for the layers should be divided as follows: 3/4 of the products for the base of the tank and 1/4 of the products for the top of the tank. The salad will be in layers, each layer is smeared with a mesh of mayonnaise.

2. STEP 2

   

   BASIS OF THE TANK: Grate the pickled cucumbers on a fine grater, squeeze them out and place them in a thin layer on the bottom of the pan. Make a mesh out of mayonnaise.

3. STEP 3

   

   For the next layer, you need to cool and peel the boiled potatoes in their jackets, then grate them on a coarse grater and place them on top of the cucumbers. Make a mesh out of mayonnaise.

4. STEP 4

   

   For the next layer, you need to cool and peel the hard-boiled eggs, then grate them on a fine grater and place them on top of the potatoes. Make a mesh out of mayonnaise.

5. STEP 5

   

   The penultimate layer will be pickled mushrooms, but you can also take pickled champignons, for example, or fry fresh champignons. If the mushrooms are large, then they need to be cut, but not very finely. Make a mesh out of mayonnaise.

6. STEP 6

   

   The last layer will be boiled chilled chicken breast, cut it and place it in a mold on top of the mushrooms. Make a mesh out of mayonnaise.

7. STEP 7

   

   TOP OF THE TANK: For the top of the tank you need a small bowl, but since it’s not very convenient to put layers in it, you need to lay out a layer of cucumbers, grated on a coarse grater, and the rest of the products need to be mixed together with mayonnaise, and just put in the bowl on top of the cucumbers. TANK: Next, you need to carefully invert the tank base onto a large plate or tray. Cover the mold with a tray on top, turn it over and carefully remove the mold.

8. STEP 8

   

   Place the top of the tank on top of the bowl, you need to hold it with your hands while turning it over, the process is a little more complicated here.

9. STEP 9

   

   DECORATION: Cut fresh cucumber into thin slices and place on the sides of the tank.

10. STEP 10

    

    Make stars from carrots and decorate the tank with them. Use mayonnaise to write the inscription “February 23!” Make the barrel out of two sticks of straw. Bon appetit! Happy Defender of the Fatherland!
