Cooking method

Step 1:

How do you make a salad with pomegranate, walnuts, and chicken? Gather your ingredients. Scrub the potatoes clean and boil them in their skins in boiling water until soft, then drain and let them cool. Boil the eggs for 7–8 minutes, then cool them in cold water.
Step 2:

Boil the chicken breast until cooked through as well — drop it into boiling water and cook for about 20 minutes, with a little salt. Let the chicken cool. Peel the boiled potatoes and eggs, then peel the fresh onion and carrot.
Step 3:

Chop the walnuts with a knife and toast them in a dry skillet until fragrant. Tip them onto a plate and let them cool.
Step 4:

Finely chop the onion and sauté it in a little vegetable oil until soft and translucent — you can let it turn lightly golden. Let the onion cool too.
Step 5:

We'll build the salad in layers. Set a serving ring on a plate and start with a layer of grated potato. Press it down a little to firm it up. Spread this layer, and every one after it, with mayonnaise.
Step 6:

Grate the fresh carrot on a fine or medium grater and add it as the second layer.
Step 7:

Cut the chicken into small cubes. Add the chicken and the sautéed onion to the ring.
Step 8:

Grate the eggs. Add a layer of egg, then a layer of walnuts.
Step 9:

Peel the apple, grate it on the coarse side of a grater, and add it as the next layer. Top everything with pomegranate seeds as the final layer.
Step 10:

Lift the serving ring off the finished salad. Before serving, let it rest and chill in the refrigerator. Enjoy!

Make salads only from fully chilled ingredients. A salad made with warm ones can spoil quickly.
Homemade mayonnaise is the way to go — tastier and better for you. Check out the interesting homemade mayonnaise recipes here. You can also dress the salad with sour cream or plain yogurt instead of mayonnaise, or mix either one with mayo in any ratio you like to cut down on calories.
