Step 1:
How to make a Cone salad with almonds? Prepare the specified products. The chicken should be smoked, in its absence it can be replaced with boiled. Pre-boil the potatoes in a uniform, boil the eggs until fully cooked and cool. You can take any cheese with a slightly pronounced taste. Mayonnaise for salad dressing, you can take a mixture of mayonnaise and sour cream. Almonds should be fried. Prepare a festive dish for serving salad on the table.
Step 2:
My potatoes are boiled in the peel, you can take boiled without the peel. Peel the boiled potatoes and grate them on a coarse grater. Add about 1-2 tablespoons of mayonnaise, mix. If the potatoes have not previously been salted, then at this step it should be salted. I will put the salad in the form of two cones, but you can put it in the form of one or three at once. Place the potatoes on a platter in the form of two ovals imitating the shape of a cone.
Step 3:
I take a ham for the salad. It needs to be milled. Cut the finished pulp into small cubes, add a spoonful of mayonnaise, mix. Lay out the smoked ham in the second layer, adhering to the specified shape.
Step 4:
Cut the salted or pickled cucumbers into small cubes, add a spoonful of mayonnaise and put the third layer in the salad.
Step 5:
Peel the boiled eggs from the shell and grate on a coarse grater. Mix the eggs with mayonnaise and put the next layer on the salad.
Step 6:
Grate the selected cheese. I grated it on a coarse grater and because of this it was hard to spread the almonds, so it's better to grate the cheese on a medium or fine grater. Mix the grated cheese with mayonnaise (more of it should be added here) and put the next layer in the salad. Smear the salad with mayonnaise so that the layers are not visible.
Step 7:
Almonds for salad should be fried. If it is raw, then it should be fried in a dry frying pan. Put the nuts on the salad, slightly melting into the top layer so that they hold. You can spread it by immersing the nut completely, or you can spread it so that they stick out like scales on an open cone.
Step 8:
The finished salad should be cooled before serving. When serving on the table, you need to wipe the dish with napkins so that there are no traces of the products. Decorate the cones, imitating needles, with sprigs of rosemary or dill, or all together.

It is better to prepare mayonnaise yourself. It will be tastier and healthier. See here interesting recipes for homemade mayonnaise.
Also, as a dressing, you can use not only mayonnaise, but also sour cream or natural yogurt. They can be taken separately or mixed with mayonnaise in any proportion to your taste - this will reduce the calorie content of the dish.

How to cook hard-boiled eggs? So that the eggs do not crack when cooking, put them in cold water and put them to cook on a small fire. Boil the eggs for 9 minutes after boiling, then pour cold water and cool. From a sharp temperature drop, the shell will be better cleaned.
