Cooking method

Cooking time: 45 min
  1. Step 1:

    Step 1

    The ingredients. Boil and cool the chicken breast, beets, carrots, and eggs ahead of time. I salt the cooking water, so I don't season the layers as I build them.

  2. Step 2:

    Step 2

    From one beet, thinly slice a few rounds for the rose. Grate the rest on the coarse side of a box grater.

  3. Step 3:

    Step 3

    Cut a few thin strips off the carrots for garnish, and grate the rest coarsely.

  4. Step 4:

    Step 4

    Layer 1 — grated beets and a lattice of mayonnaise.

  5. Step 5:

    Step 5

    Layer 2 — grated carrots and a lattice of mayonnaise.

  6. Step 6:

    Step 6

    Layer 3 — finely chopped onion and a lattice of mayonnaise.

  7. Step 7:

    Step 7

    Layer 4 — finely chopped chicken and a lattice of mayonnaise. To get neat edges, I set a board against the side and lay the chicken around the rim first, then fill in the middle.

  8. Step 8:

    Step 8

    Layer 5 — grated egg yolks and a lattice of mayonnaise.

  9. Step 9:

    Step 9

  11. Step 11:

    Step 11

    Layer 8 — grated egg whites.

  12. Step 12:

    Step 12

    Your choice — leave the sides showing their colorful layers, or cover them up. To coat the sides with a thin layer of mayonnaise, use a spatula or knife, then press the remaining egg white onto the edges.

  13. Step 13:

    Step 13

    Decorate the salad. Place a beet rose in the center: first shape a bud from the small beet scraps, then form the petals from the thin beet rounds.

  14. Step 14:

    Step 14

    Then arrange the carrot strips.

  15. Step 15:

    Step 15

    And add leaves around the rose with sprigs of parsley. Let the salad rest for 1 hour to set and soak up the flavors. Enjoy!
