In the days of the pre-New Year's bustle, the housewives have so many worries that there is no time left for the invention of a culinary masterpiece. Time-beaten "Olivier", "Crab sticks" and the invariable "Herring with beets" are served on the table.
Diversifying the New Year's menu is not difficult at all. To do this, it is enough to use the advice of culinary experts and prepare salads that will amaze both households and guests with an unusual taste.
In anticipation of the Year of the Fire Monkey, any housewife should remember that fresh vegetables and fruits cannot be done without, therefore, New Year's salads for the New Year 2016 should be with the addition of such products.
The recipe for one of these salads is quite simple, like its name:
"Five" salad
"Five" - because it only takes five ingredients to cook. And it always turns out to be "five", because absolutely nothing can spoil the unusual taste of this New Year's salad.
For cooking you will need:
- beef liver - 0.5 kg;
- Bulgarian pepper - 3 pcs.;
- hard cheese - 250 gr.;
- red onion - 2 pcs.;
- mayonnaise - 150 gr.
For the preparation of the New Year's "Five" salad, it is better to take red bell pepper, but this is important only for the color of the salad.
Cooking steps
Soak the liver in warm milk for about an hour and fry in a little oil until tender. Cool and cut into cubes. You can add a little salt and put in a deep container.
Peel the onion and cut into half rings. To bring down the bitterness, it is not necessary to fry it, you can simply place it in a colander and pour over boiling water. Salt a little and add to the liver.
Cut the bell pepper into four parts, rinse thoroughly, freeing the core from the grains. Cut into thin sticks and fold into a container.
If you rub hard cheese on a coarse grater, then it will be lost in the salad. Therefore, you need to cut it in the same way as pepper and liver - into cubes.
When mixing all the ingredients with mayonnaise, you should be careful - the cubes should remain intact, so it is better to use silicone spatulas or forks.
The "Five" New Year's salad will look best on green lettuce leaves.
