Step 1:
How to make Turtle salad with apple and walnuts? Prepare the necessary products. You can take any part of the chicken (fillet, drumsticks). Choose a sweet and sour apple, for example, Simerenko or Granny Smith varieties.
Step 2:
Boil the chicken in salted water until tender. Lower the chicken into boiling water so that all the taste and juiciness remain in the meat, and do not pass into the broth. Cool the finished chicken, separate it from the bones. Cut the chicken into small pieces.
Step 3:
Chop the walnuts finely with a knife.
Step 4:
Grate the cheese on a fine grater. You can also use melted cheese.
Step 5:
Hard-boiled eggs, pour cold water until cool. Peel the eggs, separate the yolks from the whites. Leave one protein for salad dressing, chop the rest on a fine grater.
Step 6:
Form a salad. Place a layer of prepared chicken on a plate of suitable size, giving a slightly oval shape.
Step 7:
Apply mayonnaise on top.
Step 8:
Then evenly distribute the grated proteins and mayonnaise again.
Step 9:
Peel the apple from the skin and seeds. Chop the apple on a coarse grater.
Step 10:
Lay out the apple in the next layer, distributing it evenly throughout the salad.
Step 11:
The next layer is grated cheese and mayonnaise.
Step 12:
Grind the yolks on a fine grater, put the yolks on the cheese layer. If necessary, carefully adjust the shape of the salad. Brush the top of the salad with a thin layer of mayonnaise.
Step 13:
Sprinkle the salad on all sides with chopped walnuts.
Step 14:
Cut the remaining egg white into pieces for the turtle's head and paws. The eyes can be made from peas of pepper. Put the salad in the refrigerator for 1 hour to soak it.
Step 15:
Garnish the salad with parsley leaves before serving. On the "shell" of a turtle, you can apply a mayonnaise pattern. Bon appetit!

Chicken can be replaced with turkey or any other type of meat at your request. But keep in mind that in this case, the cooking time and calorie content of the dish will change.

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.
