Step 1:
How to make a beautiful and delicious Tiger Cub salad for the New Year's table? First, prepare the necessary ingredients according to the list. The amount of ingredients does not have to be taken strictly according to the recipe, you can select the proportions by eye from personal preferences. The most important thing is that there are enough potatoes for a strong salad base.
Step 2:
Boil the potatoes in the peel until tender. Cool, peel and grate on a coarse grater.
Step 3:
Peel the boiled sausage from the factory film and cut into small cubes. Instead of boiled sausage, you can use any other boiled and smoked meat: carbonade, neck, ham, balyk sausage, etc. I have ham.
Step 4:
Peel the cucumber and cut into small cubes. It is better to peel the cucumber for this salad, then the salad will turn out softer and more delicate in structure. If the cucumber is watery and releases a lot of juice, you can put it on a napkin so that the excess juice is absorbed and the salad does not "float".
Step 5:
Cut the prunes into small pieces. If the prunes are too hard and over-dried, you can pour boiling water over them and leave for 10 minutes.
Step 6:
Boil the carrots in the peel until tender, cool, peel and grate on a coarse or medium grater.
Step 7:
Boil hard-boiled eggs, cool and peel. Separate the whites from the yolks. Grate the proteins on a medium or coarse grater. Yolks in a separate bowl on a shallow.
Step 8:
Dry the olives from the brine and cut into small pieces. Cut a few olives lengthwise into thin strips.
Step 9:
Put a layer of potatoes on a dish with a diameter of 24-28 cm and give it the shape of a tiger's head. Apply a mesh of mayonnaise on top. I previously put the mayonnaise in a cooking bag so that it would be more convenient to apply it to the ingredients.
Step 10:
Next, spread a layer of boiled sausage and also pour mayonnaise on top.
Step 11:
Put the cucumbers in the next layer and also apply mayonnaise on them.
Step 12:
Then distribute the prunes and mayonnaise in the same way. Next, sprinkle most of the grated yolks on top. Pour mayonnaise on top as well. a little yolk should be left for decoration..
Step 13:
With the help of grated carrots, protein, yolk and olives, make a tiger's muzzle. Decorate the lower part of the muzzle with protein, and the upper part with boiled carrots. Apply the contours of the tiger's eyes with grated protein, and the ears with yolk. Using finely chopped olives, mark the stripes and the nose of the tiger.
Step 14:
Apply the mustache and mouth with olives, cut lengthwise into strips. To prevent the white part of the muzzle from merging with the white plate, you can outline it with the help of sliced strips of olives. Use a couple of olives for the eyes. Put the salad in the refrigerator for 1 hour for impregnation. Enjoy your meal!
It is better to prepare mayonnaise yourself. It will be tastier and healthier. See here interesting
recipes for homemade mayonnaise.
Also, as a dressing, you can use not only mayonnaise, but also sour cream or natural yogurt. They can be taken separately or mixed with mayonnaise in any proportion to your taste - this will reduce the calorie content of the dish.
How to choose the right olives? It is better to buy the product in a transparent package. So you can see their appearance and color. If the olives are too black, then food dyes have been added. The fruits should be elastic, whole, with a smooth, shiny skin. Too soft, overripe olives will not be stored for a long time.
