Salad "Black Pearl"
Prunes stuffed with nuts are the black pearls in this salad variation. This is a very bright and easy to prepare dish. For it you need to take: eggs - 2 pieces, crab sticks - 200 g, 200 g cheese, prunes - about half a glass, chilled butter - 50 g, about 50 g walnuts, mayonnaise - 6-7 tablespoons and greens for decorations.
To prepare this salad, you must first of all pour boiled prunes over boiled water so that it is steamed. After the prune softens and swells, cut it a little on the side and put the walnuts inside. Cool hard-boiled eggs, cool, peel and grate on a coarse grater. Grate hard cheese on a coarse grater, like eggs, with crab sticks, do the same procedure. Butter also needs to be grated, only on medium.
Now form all the components of the salad, laying them out in layers. You can use a special culinary ring. First, lay out half the grated eggs, then about one fourth of the crab sticks, now a little mayonnaise. Then the fourth layer - exactly half of the grated cheese, the fifth - half of the mass of grated butter, the sixth - all the prunes stuffed with nuts, the seventh - what is left of the crab sticks, the eighth - a little mayonnaise, the ninth - the remains of cheese, the tenth - the remains of grated cream oils. Finally, the last layer is the second egg. You can decorate the constructed tower with greens or remaining nuts.
Salad "Orchid"
Potato chips act as orchid petals in this salad. For this salad, you need 200 g of ham, 2 eggs, 2-3 pickled cucumbers, 1 carrot, 50 g of chips, 150 g of hard cheese and 100 g of mayonnaise.
Cool hard-boiled eggs, cool and clean. Carrots need to be washed, peeled and grated, then you can begin to form a salad. At the bottom - grated carrots, then a layer of mayonnaise, then grated pickles, and again a layer of mayonnaise. At this stage, you need to set aside some chips for decoration in the form of orchid petals, and crush the rest: this will be the next layer of salad. Then grease with mayonnaise again.
Ham must be cut into small cubes and put as the next layer, then mayonnaise again. The next layer is hard cheese grated on a coarse grater, and again a layer of mayonnaise. Now rub separately the yolks and egg whites as a last coat. Lubricate everything again with mayonnaise. Garnish the salad with chips - petals, in the center of which rub the yolk: you should get a beautiful flower.
