The main recipe for the salad “Grenadier”
Given that every housewife has the components of this dish all the time, you can cook it daily if you wish. Such a multi-layered tasty and satisfying salad with meat can always complement your menu. At least for lunch or dinner or holiday. Prune lovers will especially like it. To make Grenadier salad, you will need: potatoes - three pieces, carrots - one, large, beets - one, pork - 150 grams, prunes - 100 grams, mayonnaise - 150 grams, walnuts and greens - for decoration. Boil all vegetables until cooked, peeled. Moreover, beets are separate from others, so as not to color them. Also cook a piece of meat, whole.
We will use pork in our recipe, but you can use chicken and beef. It does not make much difference, a matter of taste. Peel the cooled ingredients (vegetables) and cut into small cubes. Then lay out in layers, greasing each of them with mayonnaise. The sequence of layers is as follows: potatoes, carrots, then - boiled meat, beets and the final - prunes. We use greens and walnuts as a decoration. Before serving “Grenadier” salad, it is recommended to keep it a little in the cold, but not in the refrigerator. In it, the mayonnaise will turn red, and the dish will lose the beauty of its appearance.

In our version we will replace pork with beef and slightly change the amount of other ingredients. List of necessary products: 100 grams each - beef and prunes, two each - beets and carrots, three potatoes, 150 grams of homemade mayonnaise, walnuts and greens for decoration.

Steamed dried fruits with boiling water, not forgetting to extract the seeds from them before. Steamed prunes and beef cut into strips. We collect the layers in the same order as in the previous recipe. To improve the taste, we recommend using homemade mayonnaise. Leave for one and a half to two hours for impregnation, then you can serve on the table.
