Video recipe: Salad "Cheerful monkey"
Step by step recipe with photos and videos
Every New Year, I and my kitchen assistants prepare bright, tasty and hearty dishes. The upcoming New Year is the year of the monkey. I propose to prepare an appetizing salad "Merry Monkey". I am sure that all the guests at the New Year's table will like this simple salad to prepare. A colorful monkey with a cute smile on his lips will decorate both New Year's and Christmas tables.
Take the following ingredients.
The first step is to take care of the meat. For salad, use the flesh best. Rinse. Boil until tender. Optionally, add a little salt and bay leaf to the broth. Cool the cooked meat. Cut into small cubes.
Boil chicken eggs. Cut into the same small pieces.
You can use pickled cucumbers or pickles. Blot with a tissue to remove excess moisture. Cut into small slices. Add to the rest of the ingredients.
Add canned peas, salt, ground black pepper, mayonnaise to a salad bowl. Stir.
Now you need to form a monkey's face from the salad mass. For this, I use round and oval forming rings.
Take a flat dish. Place the round forming ring closer to the top edge. Fill with salad mixture. Try to tamp gently. Make sure the height of the lettuce is the same. Focus on your rings.
Remove the circular ring carefully. Place an oval ring in the center of the circle. Fill with salad mixture. Also tamp and remove the ring.
At the top, on both sides, spoon the lettuce with a spoon and shape the ears. Now gently flatten on all sides with a spatula.
Now, using your home arsenal, cut an oval muzzle and eyes out of hard cheese. From boiled sausage - ears.
Sausage, smoked or semi-smoked, chop finely and cover all places free of cheese and sausage.
Cut the olive in half, place it over your eyes. Cut out a cheerful smile and nostrils from the pickled bell peppers. Garnish with a bow and boiled carrot snowflakes, if desired.
The "Funny Monkey" salad is ready.
