Instructions
Step 1
Let the dahlia bloom on the table. Prepare the ingredients for this salad. Grind the cheese on a fine grater, set it aside for now, cut the mushrooms into plates. Chop the ham and boiled chicken eggs into strips, and chop the olives into slices.
Step 2
Put all ingredients except cheese, peppers and olives in a bowl or saucepan, add mayonnaise, stir. Then transfer these foods to a salad bowl. Mixing the ingredients with mayonnaise right away in a serving bowl will make the edges look messy, so do it in a different container first. Spoon the corn salad into a rounded hill.
Step 3
It's time to decorate the dish to make it look like a flower. To do this, dust the surface with cheese. Wash the peppers, remove the seed capsule along with the seeds. Cut the fruit in half. Lay one piece flat and use a knife to divide it into thin slices. On the one hand, they are folded, this will help the decoration. Grind the remaining halves in the same way.
Step 4
Stick the slices evenly into the salad with the part where the "tail" of the vegetable was. Let the piece that was recently part of the bottom bend up. First, spread the slices along the edge, at the same distance, then, in the same way, along the inner circle. Place the third tier of peppers closer to the center. Place chopped olives in the middle. A salad with corn and other ingredients in the shape of a flower is ready. After it has been in the refrigerator for 30 minutes, it’s time to take it out and put it in a place of honor on the table.
Step 5
It's nice to sit with your family members, tasting a salad made with corn and decorated in the form of a family nest. Start creating an edible homemade bliss by shredding cabbage into thin strips. Pour salt into it, remember with your hands, so that it becomes softer. Set aside a fifth of the cabbage for decoration, brush the rest with mayonnaise, stir, put in a salad bowl or on a dish.
Step 6
Cut the legs into strips, put on the cabbage. Sprinkle them with grated egg whites and sprinkle them with corn. Mash the yolks, mayonnaise, chopped garlic with a fork. Roll up balls from the mass and place them in the center of the salad. Sprinkle them with the rest of the cabbage.
Step 7
Peel potatoes, rinse, rub on a special grater for cooking Korean carrots. If not, cut the root vegetables into long thin strips. Spread them in portions in boiling oil, deep-fry until browning, then place on a napkin to absorb excess fat and cool the slices. Line the edges of the salad with them. The "family nest" is ready.
