Puff salad Inspiration
An unusually tasty salad is not for lazy housewives, as you will have to tinker a little with its preparation.
Required Ingredients:
- fresh champignons - 400 grams;
- chicken fillet - 300 - 400 grams;
- Korean carrots - 200 grams;
- eggs - 3 pieces;
- hard cheese (optional ingredient) - 200 grams;

Step-by-step cooking:
- Peel the onion, chop finely.
- Rinse the mushrooms well under running water, dry, cut into small pieces and fry in a non-stick pan with chopped onions, leave to cool.
- It is better to take more juicy parts from chicken, for example, chicken legs, the breast will be slightly dry. But this is not a fundamental point - mayonnaise, in any case, will make all layers more saturated. Boil the selected chicken portion in salted water for half an hour. Remove from water and cool. Separate the meat from the bones and disassemble into small pieces.
- Korean carrots will need to be cut into short straws, no more than 2 cm long, since the salad is flaky and the layer with carrots, which will be placed in the middle of the dish, if not cut, will pull out adjacent layers and destroy the rest of the salad.
- Boil the eggs hard-boiled, cool in cold water, release from the shell and cut lengthwise into 2 halves. Separate the whites from the yolks. Grate the whites into one bowl and the yolks into another.
- If it is decided to use hard cheese in a salad (this ingredient is not necessary to suck in this dish), then it must also be grated on a fine grater.
- Now you can lay out the cold appetizer in layers.
- First, lay out a layer of fried mushrooms with onions, then a net of mayonnaise. The next layer is chicken and mayonnaise again. Next, a thick layer of Korean carrots and mayonnaise. Then the egg whites, a layer of salt, grated cheese (if used) and a layer of mayonnaise. And the last layer is grated yolks.
- Cover the salad with cling film and refrigerate for an hour. During this time, all layers will be well saturated.
- After an hour, you can take out a snack and decorate. There is no limit to imagination. You can decorate the salad with half a boiled egg, cut in the shape of a flower, and spread Korean carrots or dill sprigs around.
You can depict a cobweb made of Korean carrots on the surface, and put spiders made from black olives on the cobweb. For this purpose, it is better to purchase canned food with olives already separated from the seeds. Well, cutting out the body of spiders and legs will not be difficult and skillful. It should look something like the photo below. The salad is ready - you can surprise gourmets!
Korean carrots with mushrooms
