This chicken liver salad combines tender pan-seared liver with sweet caramelized onions and golden sautéed carrots, dressed simply in mayo or sour cream with a touch of garlic and mustard. The key is cooking the liver just until pink in the center — about 5-6 minutes total — so it stays soft and creamy instead of turning rubbery. The whole dish comes together in 20-25 minutes, making it perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or an easy holiday appetizer. I'll walk you through prepping the liver, the right ratio of onion to carrot, and how to layer the flavors so each bite is balanced, rich and satisfying.

Proportions for 6-8 servings inside.
