Monomakh hat classic salad with pomegranate and chicken

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   The products we need to prepare the Monomakh Hat salad.

2. Step 2:

   

   We will have a layered salad. Therefore, vegetables and other products are rubbed or cut into separate containers. The peeled apple is rubbed on a coarse grater, and so that it does not darken, be sure to pour lemon juice. Before forming the salad, drain the juice. In a separate container, grate the egg white on a coarse grater, pre-boiled hard-boiled and peeled from the shell.

3. Step 3:

   

   Boiled "in uniform" and peeled potatoes are grated on a coarse grater. Three egg yolks on a fine grater, we do the same with cheese.

4. Step 4:

   

   Prepare the sauce, for which we mix mayonnaise with garlic passed through a press, salt and spices (I took ground black pepper).

5. Step 5:

   

   Prunes cut into strips.

6. Step 6:

   

   Boiled or baked in the oven, then peeled beets grate on a coarse grater.

7. Step 7:

   

   Chop the greens (I have parsley). You can take dill or other greens, focusing on your taste.

8. Step 8:

   

   We take a large dish and lay out all the products prepared by us in layers, smearing them with a little mayonnaise. It is advisable to divide all the products into two parts and lay out several layers, but remember that each subsequent one should be slightly smaller than the previous one. To make the salad less greasy and take less mayonnaise, you can mix some drier foods with mayonnaise in advance, for example, potatoes. The first layer will be potatoes.

9. Step 9:

   

   Then spread the beets on top, sprinkle with salt, pepper, chopped nuts (for a brighter taste, you can fry them lightly in a frying pan in advance).

10. Step 10:

    

    Then put a layer of chicken fillet cut into small cubes, boiled or fried in a frying pan in oil (I have it boiled). Sprinkle with salt and pepper.

12. Step 11:

    

    The next layer is greenery.

13. Step 12:

    

    Then spread the prunes, not forgetting the mayonnaise.

14. Step 13:

    

    Prunes "friends" with nuts, so we sprinkle this layer with them a little.

15. Step 14:

    

    The next layer is spread with grated cheese, leaving most of it to decorate the salad.

16. Step 15:

    

    Next - a layer of apples.

17. Step 16:

    

    Then - a layer of yolks. And now we repeat all the layers: potatoes, beets, some nuts, chicken, greens, prunes, some more nuts, cheese, apples, yolks. We smear the layers with mayonnaise, not forgetting about salt and pepper, trying not to overdo it with spices.

18. Step 17:

    

    The edge of the cap is made from the remaining grated cheese, smeared with mayonnaise, on which we pour grated protein on top.

19. Step 18:

    

    Sprinkle walnuts on top of the edge, imitating fur. We decorate the hat with pomegranate seeds (I divided the dome of the hat into eight sections to maintain the symmetry of the pattern), green peas (I needed 4 peas), imitating precious stones.

20. Step 19:

    

    The crown of the hat is made from red onions decorated with pomegranate seeds. So our wonderful Monomakh Hat salad is ready. We invite guests and try. Bon appetit to everyone!
