What recipes of cold appetizers will not come up with a culinary master! And the most interesting, perhaps, are salads in this regard. We will discuss one of them today.
Red Riding Hood Salad with Berries
It is prepared in different ways. Perhaps this can be called any dish consisting of several ingredients and decorated with something red - beets, tomatoes, pomegranate grains. Prepare, for example, such a salad: take boiled chicken meat (1-2 legs, without skin). If you prefer, you can boil it in salted water and cut into small pieces, and then lightly fry with spices and onions. And if you take meat only boiled, then be sure to add it, pepper, season with spices. Spread onion chopped in half rings (half onion) with a second layer, slightly sprinkling it with vinegar. Then apply a mesh of mayonnaise. Make the third layer in such an amazingly delicious dish as Little Red Riding Hood salad from pomegranate seeds. Put them thickly - the berries will give the meat a pleasant sweet and sour flavor. By the way, it is in it that the main highlight of the dish lies! The fourth layer is grated potatoes (2 pieces). Pepper it - and again mayonnaise. Then a layer of grated egg (3-4 is enough). Then add salt and again make a thick mayonnaise grid. Still in the salad "Little Red Riding Hood" put grated boiled carrots (2 is enough). You can do this as well: grate raw, add crushed garlic, season with mayonnaise, and then put this mixture on a salad in a thin layer. Such an ingredient will give the dish a special piquancy, an unexpected and very tasty touch. Then, if the meat is left, make another layer of it. Do not forget about mayonnaise. At the end - grated beets (grate it (boiled) separately in advance on a plate, let the juice drain a little): put it on a meat or carrot layer. But so that the Little Red Riding Hood salad does not drip, squeeze the beets slightly. Add mayonnaise again, evenly distributing it over the entire surface of the “cap”. And garnish it densely with pomegranate. Leave the dish to stand for an hour in the refrigerator, so that all layers are saturated and become juicy. Then you can serve.
Red Riding Hood Salad with Pomegranate and Cheese
The recipe described above is a multi-layer dish. But you can cook it easier, if you take onion as components - 1, potatoes - 3, smoked chicken meat (300-400 g), peeled walnuts (a little puffed), cheese - 200 g, carrots - 2 pieces, eggs - 3, pomegranate (grains). Vegetables and eggs are boiled and finely chopped. Do the same with nuts. Onions are cut in half rings, meat - in cubes. The cheese is rubbing. Then all the ingredients are laid out in layers on a plate or dish, salted, sprinkled with pepper for pungency. Dressed with mayonnaise. At the end of cooking, first put the cheese, and then necessarily pomegranate. And also let the dish infuse, soak in mayonnaise and juices.
Tomato salad
The Little Red Riding Hood salad is made with tomatoes, and not just with pomegranates. Tasty and original is, for example, such a recipe. Take 300 g of ham, cut into thin strips. 2-3 ripe solid large tomatoes cut into cubes or small slices. 1 finely chop the onion. Fry fresh mushrooms, cut into strips, with it until fully cooked. Put them on a sieve so that the glass has excess oil. Grate 2 steep eggs on a grater. Also, let 1 fresh cucumber and 200 g of hard cheese through a grater.
And now all the components are laid out in layers coated with mayonnaise, salted and seasoned with pepper: first ham, then mushrooms, cucumber, eggs, cheese. The last to be placed are the tomatoes.
These are different, but very colorful and tasty Red Riding Hood salads you will get if you wish. Enjoy your meal!
