For the holiday, the housewives always try to cook something unusual and amazing. Salad "Rose" is just the option that can please both guests and home. There are many cooking options available, but the design remains the most important, not the ingredients.
A la "under a fur coat"
This recipe is slightly different from the one used to cook in every second Russian cuisine. Salad "Rose" in this case will be decorated differently, but the ingredients can be left the same. It will be required:
- fatty salted herring without pits and offal;
- a pair of boiled potatoes;
- onion;
- mayonnaise;
- boiled carrots;
- a pair of medium boiled beets.
Salt must be added exclusively to taste. Cooking a salad will not take long if all the ingredients are prepared in advance. Onions are cut into small cubes, then abundantly watered with mayonnaise, left to marinate for a while. At this point, you can do the cooking of the remaining ingredients. Potatoes and carrots are cut as small and symmetrical as possible, one beetroot too. The second is needed for decoration. Since the salad "Rose", the recipe of which is described, is similar to a "fur coat", decoration will be the main feature of the dish. The herring is also cut into as small cubes as possible. All ingredients are mixed, including onions marinated in mayonnaise. The remaining beets are cut into thin slices. If the root crop is large, then it is possible in half rings. They are laid out in a salad, collecting a rose: from the core to the edge. The larger the petals, the more open the flower is. By the way, it is this option that is also called the Black Rose salad. Beets are very brown, almost black in color.
For seafood lovers
This option is suitable for those who prefer fish and seafood to meat. Rosa salad, the recipe of which will be described below, is collected similarly to the previous one, but the ingredients are somewhat different. So, the components:
- preserves or salted spicy herring;
- marinated squid rings ;
- mussels;
- shrimp
- boiled beets (2-3 pieces, depending on size);
- salt to taste;
- mayonnaise;
- onion;
- greens;
- boiled potatoes (a pair of medium tubers).
The peculiarity of this salad is that it is very satisfying, which does not require serving to any side dish or hot. It may well act as an independent dish. Everything is prepared very simply: shrimps are boiled and cut in half, squid, potatoes, mussels, herring and one beetroot are finely chopped. Onion, so as not to be bitter, can be scalded with boiling water, then added to the prepared ingredients. Everything mixes, greens are chopped, dressed with mayonnaise. The remaining beets are cut in the same way as in the previous recipe, then the rosette is collected. To make it more convenient to do this, you can lay out the salad slide. Serve recommended in portions.
Pancake abundance
Such a salad "Rose" will appeal to guests not only in appearance, but also surprise with taste and originality. Enjoy even the most demanding. It is noteworthy that he is a kind of salad with pancakes, since they are part of it. Will be required for cooking:
- boiled chicken fillet (breast, for example);
- canned chopped champignons;
- hard cheese;
- the pancakes are thin but not sweet;
- boiled beets;
- boiled eggs (3-4 pieces);
- garlic (a pair of cloves to taste);
- crushed walnuts (handful);
- greens (dill, parsley, basil);
- onions (small size);
- mayonnaise;
- salt to taste;
- spicy carrots in Korean.
First of all, you need to fry the mushrooms with onions and a small amount of vegetable oil. So they turn out tastier and piquant. Chicken fillet, garlic, boiled eggs, walnuts, greens are chopped finely, mixed in one bowl. Cheese and beets are grated, garlic is squeezed out so that gruel is formed. Add a little mayonnaise to this mass and let it brew. Korean carrots are cut in half so that it is not too long. After this, it is worthwhile to cook pancakes if they are not at hand ready-made.
How to make pancakes for salad
The process does not take much time, as it may seem. Salad "Rose", the recipe (with photo) of which we offer, does not have to be with home-made pancakes. Ready-made, purchased semi-finished products are also quite suitable, but not sweet, thin, easily defrosting. You can make them yourself if you have a simple set of products at hand:
- a glass of warm milk without foam;
- a glass of warm boiled water;
- a little more than a glass of flour (sifted);
- salt and a pinch of sugar;
- vegetable oil (2-3 small spoons);
- 2 chicken eggs.
The dough is kneaded in the usual way. It is undesirable to have lumps in it, so you need to mix thoroughly, and introduce the flour in small portions. Pancakes are baked in a hot frying pan or pancake until cooked. They should be thin, but not torn.
Salad stuffing
Cooking does not take much time, but during this period the pancakes have time to cool down a bit. All pre-prepared ingredients will be laid out in layers. Mixed in one mass chicken, eggs, herbs, garlic, nuts are placed on the bottom of the plate. Abundantly smeared with mayonnaise. Top with cheese and beets, but not all, but only a certain amount. Lubricating with mayonnaise is no longer necessary. But on top of the chopped carrot is placed in Korean. So that the Rosa salad, a photo of which is here, is well saturated, it must be left in the refrigerator for several minutes (20-30). At this time, you can prepare and decoration. The rest of the beetroot mass is spread over pancakes into a thin layer. The thinner it is, the more pleasant the taste will be. Pancakes are twisted and then cut into small pieces. They are laid out on the rose salad in the form of decorations. Right before serving.
Vegetable abundance
Often, women think about preparing light salads. And the vegetable will come in handy in this case. Decorating it in the form of a rose will not be so difficult if you master the technique of carving (skillful cutting by products). For example, a tomato can be stuffed with garlic, mayonnaise and pepper, cutting the fruit with a knife so that a neat flower is obtained.
