How to cook a strawberry salad step by step
To prepare an original and tasty snack you will need:
- Medium sized potatoes - 4 pieces.
- Salted herring, fillet - 2 pieces.
- Beets - ½ root.
- Green onion - 20 grams
- Corn oil - 30 milliliters.
- Sesame - 20 grams.
- Fresh parsley - 10 grams.
- Salt.
Step One: Product Preparation
Strawberry salad can be prepared as a large dish, or can be made as a portioned snack. The second option is ideal for a festive table, as the dish looks more original. First, prepare all the products. It is best to bake potatoes in their uniforms. Of course, if this is not possible, then you can boil. This is best done with a double boiler. This method allows you to save not only the beneficial properties of potatoes, but also its aroma and taste. The boiled vegetable should be peeled and then grated on a fine grater. You can also just mashed potatoes. The resulting mass should be necessarily salt.
Herring fillet must be cut into small pieces. You can also skip the fish through a meat grinder. Chives should be finely chopped and then combined with herring.
Beets must be carefully chopped. Vegetable must be raw. From beets, squeeze the juice and salt it.
Step two: form the berries
Strawberry salad can be a real table decoration. The main thing is to properly arrange it. First, from the potato mass, it is necessary to form cakes. Their diameter should be no more than five centimeters, and the thickness should be one.
In the center of each preparation, put one teaspoon of a mixture of fish fillet and green onions. After this, the cakes should be carefully wrapped so that the filling remains inside. From the obtained blanks, it is necessary to form balls. At the end of the snack is to sculpt the berries. Of course, Strawberry salad is not ready yet. It must be beautifully designed.
And finally: how to decorate
Each of the blanks must be carefully lowered into beetroot juice so that they are completely immersed in it. This will color the appetizer in the desired color. After this, the workpieces need to be removed from the juice and held a little on the weight to excess glass liquid. Ready “berries” should be laid out neatly on a plate.
To create stalks with petals, you can use twigs of fresh parsley. To do this, insert several leaves of greenery into the widest part of the workpiece. That's all, the Strawberry salad with herring is almost ready. It remains to sprinkle with sesame seeds. He will fulfill the role of seeds. Spread “berries” should be on a wide plate, previously covered with leaves of green salad. A beautifully decorated dish can be served on the table with sour cream or mayonnaise.
