How to prepare a “Sunflower” salad
To prepare this salad, we need to cut 300 g of chicken fillet into small pieces. Pour a small amount of oil into the pan, lay out the fillet, fry it for literally a minute, and as soon as it starts to turn white, add spices.
I put seasoning for grilling and barbecue – ½ tsp. will be enough. Mix the meat and fry until done. In terms of time, it takes no more than 10 minutes.
You also need one large boiled carrot. For ease of rubbing, I break it into 2 parts. Grate the carrots on a fine grater. And grind 3 boiled eggs on a fine grater.
The “raisin” of this salad is marinated mushrooms. Cut 200 g of mushrooms into small pieces.
Cut the medium onion in half, then each half into 2 more parts and thinly slice. We transfer it to a small plate and, so that it does not clog the taste of other ingredients, but only complements the taste notes of the salad, pour boiling water over it for 7-10 minutes.
We will have a salad with mayonnaise. We cut off a corner of the bundle and now it will be convenient and easy for us to use it when making a salad.
So, our first layer is fried chicken meat. We lay it out in the form of a large circle. Spread with mayonnaise.
Next, we put boiled carrots on the fillet. We distribute it in an even layer over the entire meat. And smear it again with mayonnaise. Marinated mushrooms follow.
Put onions on mushrooms. Be sure to drain the water from it in advance. We make a mayonnaise net again and lay out the grated boiled eggs. Press them down with a spoon so that they stick to the mayonnaise. Apply mayonnaise again and spread the last layer evenly with a spoon.
The last layer in the salad is canned corn. Sprinkle it on the salad from all sides. It turns out a large center of the future flower.
Chips are needed to decorate the salad. Chips should be oval and curved. I use Pringles, but if you know chips of this shape from another manufacturer, you can take them and absolutely any flavor. He sticks the chips into the salad in a circle.
We cover the place where we stuck the chips with chopped fresh dill. And I also decided to decorate the salad with a “Ladybug”, which I made from half a cherry tomato. And the head and points on the back are made of olive.
In this way, you can decorate any leafy salad. The unusual design in the form of a large flower will make it a beautiful decoration of any table. As another option, the salad can be decorated with halves of olives, sprinkled with poppy seeds, or put black caviar on top.
Try to cook yourself, do not be afraid of experiments, and I wish you success in the kitchen.
