Easter Salad 'Pysanka'
Instructions
For the festive salad "Pysanka" you will need quite accessible products, which must be prepared according to the recipe. You should also prepare mayonnaise, preferably homemade, or from a brand you trust.
Separate the meat of the smoked chicken from the bone and cut it into small cubes.
For the salad, you will need boiled potatoes, cut into cubes as well.
Cut the medium-sized bell pepper into cubes. You can take red and yellow peppers for brightness, half of each will be enough.
Chop the green onions, only the feathers. Cut them finely.
Korean-style carrots slightly chop using a knife.
You will also need sweet canned corn. Be sure to drain the kernels in a colander so that the liquid drains and the corn is as dry as possible.
Boil the eggs hard, separate them into yolks and whites. Grate the whites on a fine grater.
Do the same with the yolks.
Start assembling the salad. For this salad, you need to choose a flat, oval platter, as its shape resembles that of an egg. The first layer is the chicken. You can also use ham, balyk, salami, or something to your taste. Cover the layer with a net of mayonnaise.
Place the potatoes as the second layer. You can lightly salt and pepper it, but don't forget that there will be Korean carrots in the salad, which are quite spicy. A net of mayonnaise on top.
Next is a layer of bell pepper, on top of which we place the green onions.
We put a good amount of Korean-style carrots tightly, forming a hemisphere of the egg. Using a silicone spatula, compact the carrots, generously cover them with mayonnaise, and smooth it out over the entire surface.
The last layer will be corn. We let it drain so that the salad doesn't become mushy from excess moisture. The corn kernels need to be slightly pressed into the carrots and covered with mayonnaise.
There should be enough dressing, as the next ingredients, which will serve as decoration, will hold onto this mayonnaise.
With the chopped whites, we place the "nostrils of the egg". The next step is to lay a wide strip of green onions, which will define the middle of the "egg". Finally, we lay out the chopped yolk. We try to place all the ingredients evenly and symmetrically. The background for the "Pysanka" is ready.
For the "ornament", you need to prepare various ingredients and cut them as you desire. If you have any stencil-cutters, be sure to use them. Also, take a close look at the cross-section of the bell pepper; you might see ready-made shapes there, like an arc. You can cut rings from pitted black olives.
Decorate the salad to your taste, trying to place everything symmetrically. Press the decorations in using a knife or spoon to make sure they stay firmly.
The Easter salad "Pysanka" is ready.Your family and loved ones will surely appreciate such a new dish on the Easter table, and for many, this appetizer will be a novelty. After all, it is perfectly suited for the Easter celebration.At your own desire and taste, you can change the meat products, as well as some vegetables, and you will always have a new salad. And of course, you should not stick to this decoration, perhaps your variant will be even more interesting.The main thing is an oval dish and bright products in the form of an ornament.
