It is difficult to imagine a holiday without a table. The most popular holiday appetizers are various salads. It is rather difficult to count all the options for their preparation. But almost all of them consist of monotonous products and are already tired of the order. So I want to try something new! For such cases, I would like to offer one unusual, very satisfying and original Salad Sail. It looks beautiful on any holiday table, and will also be a great option for treating unexpectedly arrived guests.
Ingredients for Sail Salad
This appetizer is prepared very quickly. It is enough to spend only fifteen minutes of your free time. The only disadvantage of this snack is its high calorie content.
So, in order to prepare this dish, we will need to prepare such products:

Recipe
Boil chicken eggs for seven minutes. After cooling them, clean and rub on a coarse grater. Smoked chicken meat is cut into small cubes. Potato chips, they can be taken with any taste, should be finely smashed, leaving a few pieces intact for decorating snacks. With Korean carrots, drain all excess liquid and squeeze it a little. This must be done so that the layers do not spread. You can proceed to the design of the salad. It is stacked in layers.
The first layer is chopped chicken breast. We cover it with a thin layer of mayonnaise. Then put a layer of Korean carrots and chopped chicken eggs. Layer of mayonnaise. Next, chopped potato chips. We remove the salad in a cold place for about half an hour.
After that, we randomly stick whole chips in the salad. Because of their curved shape, they resemble a sail. Along the edges we decorate the salad with sprigs of greenery.
