Violet Salad

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 40 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   Preparing the ingredients. You can take smoked chicken or boil it in salted water, but with smoked chicken the taste of the salad is more original, more aromatic and richer. It is better to take round and large radishes, but if you only have an elongated one, this one will do; the flowers will turn out small, basically like a real violet flower.

2. STEP 2

   

   Separate the smoked chicken meat from the bones and cut into small pieces.

3. STEP 3

   

   We also cut the cheese into small cubes. Finely chop the onion.

4. STEP 4

   

   Boil the eggs hard and cool. Separate the white of one egg from the yolk. We will need part of the yolk to decorate the salad; we chop it finely. Finely chop the eggs or crush them using an egg slicer.

5. STEP 5

   

   Finely chop a couple of radishes. We leave the rest for decorating the salad. We need to cut them into thin circles.

6. STEP 6

   

   As a dressing, you can simply use mayonnaise or mix mayonnaise and sour cream in equal parts, this sauce will be more delicate for this salad. In a bowl, mix chopped chicken meat, eggs, radishes, cheese, onions, add salt to taste, season with sauce, mix. It is better to give the salad a little time to soak in the refrigerator. And put the salad in a salad bowl. We wash the spinach leaves well and dry them with napkins.

7. STEP 7

   

   As a salad bowl, we take a small bowl, similar to a flower pot, or glass salad bowls. Place spinach leaves on top (in a circle). Place flowers from radish circles in the middle, and place a little egg yolk in the center of each. Serve the salad to the table. It turns out quite quickly, simply, beautifully and tasty. You can put the salad in small personal cups so that each guest has their own “pot of violet.” Bon appetit!

Very beautiful salad! I also wanted to create this miracle called “violet salad”. I was attracted by the simplicity and beauty of this unusual dish. I prepared the salad itself according to the recipe, replacing only the smoked chicken with boiled sausage. I slightly changed the components of the decoration. In the absence of spinach, I decorated the “pot” with fresh lettuce leaves. I think it turned out beautifully too. Simple ingredients made a very tasty salad. I cut all the ingredients into small cubes and seasoned with sauce, as the author advises. After the salad was soaked, I started decorating. It took just a few minutes, and the salad looks very impressive. I placed the salad in cocotte bowls with a diameter of 10 cm. I placed lettuce leaves and made “violets” from radish circles with a yolk center. Well, there are simply no words! Gorgeous design and so simple! We each received portioned “pots of violets.” Cool! Everyone really liked the original salad. Thank you!
