Cooking method

Step 1:

How do you make a beef and pomegranate salad? Cook the beef until tender (about 1-1.5 hours), boil the carrots, and hard-boil the eggs. Cool everything, then peel the eggs and carrots. Wash the pomegranate and remove the seeds. Shell the walnuts.
Step 2:

Lightly toast the walnuts in a dry hot skillet.
Step 3:

Finely chop the walnuts and grate the carrots.
Step 4:

Dice the beef and eggs, finely if you can.
Step 5:

Layer the prepared ingredients in a salad bowl or on a platter. First layer: half the beef, then half the carrots. You can lightly salt and pepper these layers.
Step 6:

The next layer is mayonnaise.
Step 7:

Then all of the eggs, with a little salt.
Step 8:

Then the second half of the beef, lightly salted and peppered, and mayonnaise.
Step 9:

The next layer is the second half of the carrots and all of the walnuts.
Step 10:

Shape the salad as you like and gently coat the top with a layer of mayonnaise. Scatter pomegranate seeds over it and decorate to taste. That's it — the salad is ready! Chill it before serving for the best flavor.

Mayonnaise is better homemade — tastier and better for you. There are some good homemade mayo recipes worth trying. You can also dress this with sour cream or plain yogurt instead of mayonnaise, on their own or mixed with mayo in whatever ratio you like, which cuts the calories.
Since everyone's threshold for salty, sweet, bitter, sharp, sour, and spicy is different, always add spices and seasonings to your own taste. If you're using a seasoning for the first time, remember that some are especially easy to overdo (chili pepper, for example).
