Yin and yang is a concept that came from Eastern philosophy, and it means feminine and masculine. It is for this reason that the Yin-Yang salad is suitable not only for an everyday table, but also for a romantic dinner on Valentine's Day.
List of products for the Yin-Yang salad
In order to prepare the Yin-Yang salad, you need the following ingredients:
- 200 grams of pork;
- 1 fresh tomato;
- 2 boiled chicken eggs;
- 100 grams of any hard cheese;
- 100 grams of prunes;
- mayonnaise;
- 1 medium onion.
Yin-yang salad preparation method
Pour the water into a not too deep saucepan, wait for the water to boil, and add a little salt to it. After boiling, place the pork in a saucepan and cook for two hours. The duration of the cooking depends on which meat you choose: steamed or thawed, old or young. Readiness can be checked with a knife. Remove the pork from the pan and set to cool.
Take a prune, put it in any container and pour boiling water over it so that it becomes a little softer. While the prunes are soaking, cut the boiled pork into small pieces.
It is best to cut the pork into small cubes, the size of which will not be more than two centimeters, or into thin strips.
Peel the onion, wash it, chop it gently. It is the onion that will be the basis of the salad, so take a salad bowl and lay it out in the first layer. Finely chopped pork is laid out on a layer of onions. Grease the pork liberally with mayonnaise.
Wash the tomato and cut it into small cubes. Put the tomato on top of the meat layer.
Take a hard cheese and grate it on a medium grater. Sprinkle with grated cheese on a layer of tomatoes and brush it with mayonnaise. Now you just have to decorate the salad. Take a toothpick and use it to wave in the middle of the Yin-Yang salad. Gently make circles on both sides.
To make circles, you can use a regular glass.
Take a dish with soaked prunes, drain the water from it. The prunes must be very finely chopped and placed on one half of the salad, as well as on the circle on the opposite side.
Remove the shell from the boiled eggs, take the white and crush it. It is sprinkled with the second side of your salad and the opposite circle. To soak the Yin-Yang salad, put it in the refrigerator for a few hours.
There are several ways to prepare this salad. Someone replaces the tomato layer with a layer of cucumber, and pork with chicken fillet. Some people add boiled beets and carrots to this salad. In any case, the most important thing is the decoration of this salad, which requires creativity.
