Cooking
After all the products have been purchased, you can begin the cooking process. First, the bow goes into battle. It is stripped, washed and finely chopped. Of course, this vegetable will not give up without a fight. He will defend himself as best he can. In this case, tear gas is stored in the onion , therefore, in the process of cutting it, periodically rinse the knife and hands with running water, without touching the eyes. After all, if you touch them with your dirty hands, then tears will pour into three streams. You can wash them only with clean hands.
The onion surrendered, now it lies in a saucepan, finely chopped. But this is not the whole execution of a spicy vegetable. Pour boiling water over it three times, pouring water all the time. Everything, finally deprived of onion bitterness, you can move on to nuts.
Continue cooking
Now, in the White Piano salad, you need to put the nuts, the fate of the onion awaits them, but we will only trust the chopping technique - the blender. Let him chop nuts into pieces the size of 0.5 cm. Care must be taken so that he does not overdo it and grind them into flour.
We clean the boiled eggs and carefully separate the proteins from the yolks. First, three on a medium grater of squirrel, then we wash the instrument and rub the yolks on a fine lattice into a separate bowl.
Cheese must be rubbed on a coarse grater. But do not rush, as he has a double role in salad - taste and aesthetics. To decorate, cut 7-9 smooth rectangular pieces that will represent the notes. Everything else can be chopped with a grater.
Under the action of a knife, chicken breast should turn into straws, pineapples into cubes.
The most interesting thing is the design of the culinary masterpiece
What the White Piano salad should look like in the end, the photo clearly shows. But first you need to take a rectangular salad bowl, put the ingredients in it one by one, spreading each layer with a small amount of mayonnaise and sprinkling a little salt.
We start with the chicken: we put onions on it, then pineapples. Sprinkle a layer of nuts. Shredded yolks will well lie on them, on which we put grated cheese on top. This multicolor magnificence is completed by a layer of crushed proteins that do not need to be salted and lubricated with mayonnaise.
Finishing touches
Now you should give the rectangle the appearance of a piano. Divide it visually into 2 parts. On one, lay out 7-9 cheese leaves, in the form of white keys. Stripes of prunes or olives will play the role of black.
It remains to add an edible picture of rich colors. Let it be 3 roses modestly lying in its corner. They are cut from tomatoes. To do this, a long strip of peel of a vegetable 1 cm wide is cut off from the top along the edge of the tomato, and then it is folded in the form of a flower. You can do it easier by threading the tip of the knife into the middle of the tomato, and making zigzag movements in a circle, divide it into 2 halves. This is the recipe for the White Piano salad.
Let the dish soak for 2-3 hours in the refrigerator, and then go to the table to pleasantly amaze the guests.
