- large beet - 1 pc;
- carrot - 1 pc;
- prunes - 50 g;
- walnuts (peeled) - a handful;
- garlic - 1 clove;
- mayonnaise.
Preparation
- Lay out the products on the table that we will use to prepare the salad with prunes and walnuts. You will need one large beet, a large carrot, soft pitted prunes, a handful of previously peeled walnuts, 1 clove of garlic, and thick mayonnaise. The salad is quick and easy to prepare. The only thing you need to spend time on is preparing the vegetables, especially the beets. To reduce cooking time for the beets, you can take smaller vegetables that will boil faster. You will need 3 small root vegetables of beets.
- Boil the beets until done. We check the doneness of the vegetable with a knife. If the knife goes freely into the root vegetable, it is ready. When the beet is completely cool, we grate it on a grater with fairly large cells. After washing the prunes, we cut it into thin strips.
- Combine the grated beet with prunes and add mayonnaise. Mix well.
- After washing and peeling the carrot, cut a small piece from the pointed end for decorating the salad. Grate the remaining part of the carrot on a grater with fairly fine cells.
- Then chop the walnut kernels into fine crumbs in a blender or with a knife. Add the chopped nuts to the grated carrot.
- Adding mayonnaise to the carrot and nuts, mix together. Spread the carrot mixture as the first layer on the plate where we will form the layered salad.
- Now let's prepare the cheese layer for our salad. Take a thick quality processed cheese. It is better to grate it on a fine grater. To make grating the cheese easier, we chill it thoroughly in the fridge. You can even place the cheese in the freezer for a few minutes (watching so that it doesn't freeze). After peeling a clove of garlic, grate it along with the cheese on a grater with fine cells.
- Adding mayonnaise, mix the grated cheese and garlic together with mayonnaise.
- The resulting cheese salad is placed on top of the carrot layer.
- The top layer of our salad will be the beet layer. The beet mixed with mayonnaise and prunes is placed on top of the salad.
- Cutting thin circles from a piece of carrot, we arrange flowers from them on top of the salad. Next to the flowers, we lay out parsley leaves.
- The sides of the layered beet salad with prunes and walnuts are beautifully decorated with mayonnaise.
- The Beet Salad with Prunes and Walnuts is ready. Carefully covering the salad with cling film, place it in the cold for 30 minutes, then serve it to the table.
