The meat salad is very simple but tasty. It is piquant, at the same time light and satisfying, apples in it are not guessed at all. Another advantage of this salad is that it does not “flow”, therefore, the baskets will remain crumbly.

Instruction manual
1
Chop the chilled butter, cut into cubes, with flour, salt and grind into large crumbs. Pour in ice water, quickly knead the dough - this is convenient to do in a food processor, but you can knead the dough with your hands.
2
Wrap the finished dough in a film, put it in the refrigerator for half an hour, then thinly roll it into a layer of about 0.3 mm, put it in the tins, pressing the dough against the walls and cutting off the excess - you should get baskets from the dough. Fold the molds with the dough on top of each other in a stack of 3-5 pieces, put an empty mold on top and press this "design".
3
Bake baskets from shortcrust pastry for 15 minutes at a temperature of 180 degrees (the oven must be preheated in advance). Then disassemble the stacks of molds and bake until golden brown for 20 minutes, cool.
4
Finely chop fresh herbs and a piece of boiled meat. Rub the apple and carrot on a medium grater. Mix sour cream with mustard. Mix everything together - and that’s the meat salad.
5
Arrange the salad in baskets, decorate each basket with chopped nuts, sprigs of herbs or something to your liking. If you decide to serve meat salad simply in a salad bowl without cooking baskets, then you need to grate the vegetables on a coarse grater, and disassemble the meat into fibers.
