  9. Step 9:

    Step 9

    Build the salad on a platter in a dome shape. First, spread the grated potato in an even layer. Drizzle mayonnaise on top — for convenience, put it in a bag and snip off the tip.

  10. Step 10:

    Pipe mayonnaise over the entire salad from a pastry bag.

  16. Step 16:

    Step 16

  17. Step 17:

    Step 17

    Scatter the pomegranate seeds and corn over the salad and garnish with parsley sprigs. Chill the finished salad in the fridge for 20–30 minutes and serve. Enjoy!

  • Since everyone's preferred level of salt, sweetness, bitterness, heat, acidity, and pungency is different, always add spices and seasonings to your own taste! If you're using a seasoning for the first time, keep in mind that some are especially easy to overdo (chili pepper, for instance).
  • It's better to make the mayonnaise yourself — it'll be tastier and healthier. See some interesting homemade mayonnaise recipes here. You can also dress the salad with sour cream or plain yogurt instead of mayonnaise. Use them on their own or mixed with mayonnaise in any ratio you like — that will cut down the calories.
