"Russian Beauty" Salad with Chicken

A tasty, juicy, beautiful salad — surprise the people you love! The "Beauty" salad, also called "Russian Beauty," makes a gorgeous centerpiece for a holiday table and won't disappoint on flavor. It has everything to please everyone — a meaty component and juicy vegetables! It's often built in layers, but that didn't seem worth the time to me, so I mixed the ingredients together right away. Better to save your energy for decorating the salad in the shape of a kokoshnik (a traditional Russian headdress) — it's not hard. Let's get cooking!

Cooking method

Step 1:

Gather your ingredients. Boil the chicken breast and eggs in advance — I salt them while they cook.
Step 2:

Finely chop the chicken breast and cut the ham into cubes.
Step 3:

Halve one cucumber lengthwise and cut half of it into slices for garnish. Dice the rest.
Step 4:

Dice the tomatoes and drain off the juice. Grate the hard cheese and eggs on the large holes of a grater.
Step 5:

Finely chop the parsley, green onion, and red bell pepper. Set aside five sprigs of parsley for garnish.
Step 6:

In a bowl, mix all the ingredients with the mayonnaise, except those set aside for the garnish — keep back the cheese, red pepper, cucumber, sliced olives, and some of the tomatoes. Taste the salad and add salt if needed (I didn't).
Step 7:

Now shape the salad into a kokoshnik. Set a small bowl or saucer at the edge of a flat platter, outline the shape of the salad, and spread the salad out.
Step 8:

Spread the grated cheese on top.
Step 9:

Then add the red pepper mixed with tomatoes, leaving some aside as shown in the photo.
Step 10:

Pipe waves of mayonnaise along the edges of the salad, dividing it into sections. Run waves along the sides too.
Step 11:

Arrange the cucumber and olives.
Step 12:

Tuck sprigs of parsley between the olive pattern. Spoon off any released juice and serve. The salad is ready! Enjoy!
