Snowflake Salad with Chicken
A delicious layered salad with a wintry theme. The name alone brings winter to mind, which makes it especially fitting for the December holidays and other winter celebrations. But it's a treat you can make any day of the year for family or friends.
Cooking method
-
Step 1:
Gather the ingredients for the Snowflake salad with chicken.
-
Step 2:
You can use any mushrooms. I used fresh button mushrooms. Wash them first, pat them dry, and chop them finely. If your mushrooms are frozen, thaw them at room temperature or in the fridge.
-
Step 3:
Peel, wash, and finely chop the onion.
-
Step 4:
Pour vegetable oil into a skillet and add the mushrooms and onion. Fry over medium heat until done, stirring now and then, salting the mushrooms partway through. Let them cool.
-
Step 5:
Boil the chicken breast in salted water until cooked through. Lift it out of the broth, let it cool, and cut it into small cubes.
-
Step 6:
Hard-boil the eggs and cover them with cold water to cool. Peel them and separate the whites from the yolks.
-
Step 7:
Boil the carrot, peel it, and grate it on the coarse side of a grater.
-
Step 8:
Chop the walnuts, not too finely, however you like — a blender, a knife, or just crushed.
-
Step 9:
Grate the yolks on the fine side of a grater.
-
Step 10:
The whites are the very top layer. I tinted half of them with tea so the white snowflake of mayonnaise would stand out clearly. To do this, steep 1.5 teaspoons of loose tea in 1 cup of water, then soak the whites in it for 15 minutes; remove and pat them dry. This is optional, of course — you don't have to tint the whites.
-
Step 11:
Build the salad on a flat plate. First layer: chicken. Spread with mayonnaise.
-
Step 12:
Then the grated carrot, lightly salted if you like.
-
Step 13:
Spread with mayonnaise.
-
Step 14:
A layer of fried mushrooms. No mayonnaise needed here.
-
Step 15:
Then add the grated yolks.
-
Step 16:
Mayonnaise.
-
Step 17:
The next layer is the chopped walnuts.
-
Step 18:
Grate the cheese on the fine side of a grater and spread it on top. Spread with mayonnaise.
-
Step 19:
The top is the tinted whites, grated finely. Spread the sides of the salad with mayonnaise and coat them with the remaining grated whites.
-
Step 20:
Pipe a snowflake of mayonnaise on top. Refrigerate the salad for 2 hours so it soaks together. Enjoy!
- Other parts of the chicken (thigh, drumstick) work in place of breast. You can also fry the chicken in pieces or roast it. Use any cheese you like: processed, brined, or semi-hard. If you use wild mushrooms, boil them first, then fry until done. Everyone loved this salad right away — partly because they love mushrooms in any form.
