Step 1:
How to make a classic General's salad with chicken? First, prepare all the necessary ingredients according to the list. Beets can be used not only boiled, but also baked in the oven. In stores, ready-made boiled beets are sold in vacuum packaging. Using store-bought beets will save you cooking time.
Step 2:
Wash the chicken fillet and boil in boiling salted water until tender for about 20 minutes. Then cool the chicken and cut into small cubes. Instead of boiled chicken, you can fry the fillet in a frying pan or bake it in the oven in foil. Instead of fresh chicken, you can use smoked.
Step 3:
Boil the beetroot in the peel until tender. Grate on a coarse or medium grater.
Step 4:
Boil the carrots in the peel until tender. Grate on a coarse or medium grater.
Step 5:
Hard-boil eggs, cool and peel. Also grate on a grater. If desired, you can separate the yolks and whites and rub them separately, forming two layers instead of one.
Step 6:
Also grate the cheese on a coarse or medium grater.
Step 7:
Wash and dry the walnuts in a dry frying pan. Then finely chop the nuts with a knife. You can also chop nuts in a blender.
Step 8:
Wash, dry and finely chop the dill. Dill can be replaced with parsley or other herbs to taste.
Step 9:
This salad looks very nice if you form it in layers. You can form it in one ring with a diameter of 16-18 cm or in small portion rings with a diameter of 7-8 cm. Place the cooking ring on the plate. Lay out the chicken and tamp it down. Pour mayonnaise on top. I put the mayonnaise in a pastry bag and cut off the tip. It's more convenient than using a spoon.
Step 10:
Put the grated cheese in the next layer and pour mayonnaise over it as well.
Step 11:
The next layer is grated eggs and mayonnaise.
Step 12:
Then carrots and mayonnaise.
Step 13:
Put the beets on the carrots and pour mayonnaise over them.
Step 14:
Sprinkle a layer of beetroot with chopped dill.
Step 15:
Put the walnuts in the center on the dill, a little short of the edges, so that the greens can be seen. Put the salad in the refrigerator for 1 hour for impregnation.
Step 16:
Remove the cooking ring before serving. Enjoy your meal!

How to cook vegetables? Cook beets and carrots with potatoes in different pots in boiling water until tender. It takes 15-20 minutes to cook potatoes and carrots. For beetroot cooking — 1-1.5 hours, depending on its size. Check readiness with a sharp knife — it should easily pierce the root crop.

Since the degree of salinity, sweetness, bitterness, sharpness, acid, burning is individual for everyone, always add spices, spices and seasonings, focusing on your taste! If you put some of the seasonings for the first time, then keep in mind that there are spices that it is especially important not to shift (for example, chili pepper).
