Instructions
Step 1
Turtle salad Wash the chicken fillet in running water. Put the meat in a saucepan, cover with cold water, bring to a boil. Reduce heat and cook until tender, about 20 minutes. Cool the boiled chicken fillet and cut as small as possible. To add some flavor to your salad, try grilling, smoked, or baked chicken breast.
Step 2
Peel the onion and chop finely. Pour boiling water over and leave for 8-10 minutes to remove the bitterness from the onion. Then drain the water and rinse the onion in cold water.
Step 3
Boil the eggs. Separate the whites from the yolks. Grate the whites on a fine grater, crush the yolks with a fork into crumbs. Grate sweet and sour apple and cheese. Use hard cheese for this salad. Grind the walnuts in a blender. You can use cashews instead of walnuts.
Step 4
Lay out the Turtle salad in layers immediately on the plate on which you will serve it to the table. Smooth each layer and coat with mayonnaise. Put the whites on the bottom of the dish, add a little salt. Then spread out the chicken fillet. Place the onion and apple on the meat. The next layer is grated cheese and yolks. Lubricate the top with mayonnaise and sprinkle with ground nuts.
Step 5
Try to make your salad on the platter take the shape of a hemisphere. To make the salad look true to its name, cut the head of a "turtle" from a piece of cheese and attach it to the salad. From cloves or black peppercorns, make eyes, from a piece of red pepper or tomato - mouth, from halves of walnut kernels - legs. Decorate the top with a net of mayonnaise or lay out diamonds from corn kernels or peas. Spread fresh herbs around the "turtle".

Chop the onions and prunes. Grate the peeled apple and potatoes on a coarse grater. Place the butter in the freezer for 10 minutes and then grate on a fine grater. Chop the walnuts. Mash the canned tuna fillet with a fork.
Step 7
Spread the salad on a flat salad bowl in layers - tuna fillet, protein, butter. Spread a little with mayonnaise. Then add the rest of the ingredients - potatoes, egg yolk, apple and onion. Brush again with mayonnaise and sprinkle with prunes and nuts. Decorate the salad as in step 5.
