Turtle salad with chicken, walnuts and apples

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 30 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make Turtle salad? First, prepare everything you need for our salad. Boil the chicken fillet in lightly salted water (if you decide to use it). Boil the eggs hard and cool them. Choose apples to your taste, almost any will go here: sweet, sweet and sour.

2. STEP 2

   

   Cut the chicken fillet (boiled, fried or smoked) into small cubes.

3. STEP 3

   

   Peel three of the four eggs. Set one aside for now. Separate the whites and yolks. Grate them separately on a fine grater.

4. STEP 4

   

   Grate cheese and fresh peeled apples.

5. STEP 5

   

   Peel, chop and pour boiling water over the onions to remove unnecessary bitterness.

6. STEP 6

   

   Rinse the onion in cold water and drain all the liquid from it. Dry the onions.

7. STEP 7

   

   Place the walnuts in a plastic bag, place them on a board and crush them using a rolling pin.

8. STEP 8

   

   You can simply chop them with a knife until they become coarse crumbs.

9. STEP 9

   

   Start laying the salad on a wide flat dish. The first layer should be grated egg whites.

10. STEP 10

    

    Place chicken fillet on top of the whites.

11. STEP 11

    

    Brush the chicken layer with mayonnaise.

12. STEP 12

    

    Place onions on top.

13. STEP 13

    

    Sprinkle with grated apples.

14. STEP 14

    

    Lubricate the apple layer with mayonnaise.

15. STEP 15

    

    Sprinkle with grated cheese, covering the entire surface of the salad and giving it a “turtle” shape. I do it with my hands.

16. STEP 16

    

    Sprinkle the cheese with yolks and brush with mayonnaise.

17. STEP 17

    

    Sprinkle walnuts over the salad to imitate a turtle shell.

18. STEP 18

    

    Decorate the salad in your own way.

19. STEP 19

    

    Remember that we have one more whole egg left? I added a turtle head from an egg, peppercorns and a piece of red skinned apple.

20. STEP 20

    

    For the legs, take walnut halves. Using mayonnaise, draw a mesh on the “shell” of the turtle and decorate with onion rings on top.

21. STEP 21

    

    Our delicious salad is ready.

22. STEP 22

    

    Happy cooking! Bon appetit to you and your friends!

The salad is generally quite common - a variation on the theme of chicken, cheese and apples, but certainly delicious. And the design is original, I will definitely take it into service and add it to my personal cookbook. By the way, about the book: many thanks to the authors and creators of the site for this convenient service. I recently registered on the site, but have already managed to appreciate its advantages - a quick search for recipes both on the site and in my personal cookbook greatly simplifies life.

And here are the step-by-step photos. I made this salad for my birthday. I liked the unusual design, we usually just make salads and don’t really decorate them. I didn’t buy smoked chicken, I boiled a chicken leg, and I used onions and green ones for decoration. It tastes like chicken with apples and walnuts. Great for the holiday table. Although you can decorate any salad this way, laying it out in the shape of a turtle. Thanks for the idea to the author of the recipe!

I really liked this salad, or rather its description, the language in which the recipe for its preparation was written, and just look at the photo report and it immediately becomes clear how to prepare this miracle turtle. After reading this recipe, I really wanted to try this salad, so I’m taking notes and will try to make it a reality in the near future =)

I prepared a similar salad, only without apples. It turns out very tasty, light, tender. It seems to me that apples will add more freshness and maybe even a slight sourness. Since I don’t like onions, I don’t put them in the salad, I think it will turn out great anyway)) A very original recipe, and the decoration of the salad is beautiful, the nuts will then be mixed with the salad itself and it will turn out very tasty.
