"Gift" salad - recipe
Ingredients:
- chicken legs (smoked) - 500 g;
- champignons fresh - 400 g;
- eggs - 3 pieces;
- onion - 1 piece;
- cucumbers long salad - 3 pieces;
- carrots - 1 piece;
- pepper Bulgarian red - 1 pc .;
- mayonnaise - 1 packing.
Preparation
Separate the meat of the legs from the bones and cut into pieces. Mushroomed chopped mushrooms with finely chopped onions. Separately fry grated carrot on a large grater. Bulgarian pepper, 2 cucumbers and boiled eggs cut into cubes into separate plates.
Spread square layers of lettuce, promazyvaya everyone with mayonnaise. To be more accurate, it is better to use a special form, for example, a cardboard box of suitable size, which cut off the bottom. Layers go in the following sequence: chicken, cucumbers, carrots, eggs, mushrooms with onion, Bulgarian pepper. We do not smear mayonnaise with lettuce. Remove the form, get a red box with a gift. And for greater similarity, decorate it with thin strips of cucumber, imitating ribbons. You can build a cucumber bow.
Advice: it is easier to cut a cucumber finely and evenly with an ordinary potato peeler.
We let the salad stand for several hours in the refrigerator, and we give a "gift" to the originator of the celebration.
