Tiger salad with chicken

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to prepare New Year's Tiger Salad with chicken for the New Year 2022? Prepare all the products indicated in the recipe. Champignons can be taken either fresh or canned.

2. STEP 2

   

   Prepare chicken fillet in the same way. This time I used turkey fillet, it is also great for salad.

3. STEP 3

   

   Peel the onion and chop finely. Rinse the champignons and dry with napkins. Slice the mushrooms into thin slices.

4. STEP 4

   

   Heat 1 tbsp in a frying pan. vegetable oil. Fry the mushrooms and onions over high heat, stirring constantly, until all the liquid from the mushrooms has evaporated and an appetizing golden color appears.

5. STEP 5

   

   In a separate pan, boil unpeeled carrots and potatoes, as well as eggs. Cool the vegetables and peel them together with the eggs.

6. STEP 6

   

   In a frying pan in vegetable oil, fry the chicken fillet, cut into small cubes, until cooked. Don't forget to lightly salt and add your favorite spices.

7. STEP 7

   

   Transfer the mushrooms and onions into a deep container. Try to leave the oil that remains after frying in the pan. Add fried meat and mayonnaise. How much mayonnaise should I take? The quantity depends entirely on your taste preferences. I don’t like it when salads “swim” in mayonnaise, so I always use it to a minimum. Mix everything until smooth.

8. STEP 8

   

   Place the mushrooms and chicken on the bottom of the serving ring. The recipe used a ring with a diameter of 16 cm.

9. STEP 9

   

   Next, make a layer of pickled cucumbers, chopped finely.

10. STEP 10

    

    The next layer will be made from potatoes, grated on a coarse grater. Lubricate with a small amount of mayonnaise.

11. STEP 11

    

    Sprinkle evenly with grated cheese and again make a thin layer of mayonnaise.

12. STEP 12

    

    To shape the ears, cheeks and chin, grate one or two potatoes on a coarse grater, add cheese and mayonnaise and mix.

13. STEP 13

    

    From the resulting mass, mold the ears and lower part of the tiger’s muzzle, as in the photo.

14. STEP 14

    

    Grate the carrots on a fine grater.

15. STEP 15

    

    Cover the entire salad with carrots.

16. STEP 16

    

    Cut the eggs in half. Separate the yolks from the whites. Grate the yolks, whites and black olives separately on a fine grater.

17. STEP 17

    

    Using a toothpick, draw the outlines of the tiger's eyes, nose, and muzzle line. This will make it easier to decorate the salad.

18. STEP 18

    

    Line the bottom of the muzzle with grated egg white.

19. STEP 19

    

    Also form the eyes.

20. STEP 20

    

    Use olives to shape the nose, pupils and upper eyelid. Here, for convenience, use a toothpick; it makes it easier to form thin lines from the olives.

21. STEP 21

    

    Make a mouth, stripes on the tiger's forehead and cheeks. Place the grated yolks in the ear area. Tiger is ready!

22. STEP 22

    

    Let the salad sit in the refrigerator for a while and serve.

23. STEP 23

    

    Mix all the layers in your plate and enjoy the amazing taste.

I rarely prepare salads in the form of the symbol of the year, but for this New Year our favorite website offered several interesting options. I decided to try to build such beauty. True, I’m far from an artist, don’t judge too harshly) I chose a salad with chicken and mushrooms, I like their combination. Truth be told, I’ve never added pickles before. It was impossible to get champignons in our city for the New Year) Therefore, I used my reserves of salted valui. My mushrooms were not too salty and in combination with fried onions it turned out just fine. I grated the pickles on a coarse grater and squeezed out the marinade. I added a layer of yolks to the salad; there were a lot of them left after decorating the ears. I took two very large carrots for the finishing layer, and I advise those who will make this salad or a similar one not to spare carrots) It took me a long time to form the face out of habit, but I’m happy with the result. And I really liked the taste of the salad. All products go well together. The salad is tender, juicy, filling and delicious! Thank you very much for the recipe!
