Ingredients preparation

• Cook the following ingredients: carrots, eggs and potatoes. To save time and place, put the potatoes and carrots in one pan. Boil until cooked, about 25 minutes. Cook hard-boiled eggs in another saucepan.
• While the ingredients are boiling, peel the onions and finely chop them. Transfer the onions to a deep plate, add salt and scald with boiling water. Leave on for 15 minutes, then rinse under cold water. This will discourage the bitterness of onions, which are not needed in the salad.
• Cut ham into cubes or thin straws.
• Rinse the tomatoes and dry them. Cut the tomatoes into cubes and set aside. Tomatoes will be needed later. Separate tomatoes for salad and garnish in advance.
• Grate grated cheese, rinse the herbs and shake it.
• Peel the cooked eggs, separate the white from the yolk, and grate everything. Chilled vegetables (potatoes and carrots), grate.

The layout of the salad Bullfinch

• Take a beautiful salad bowl and lay out the first layer - from grated boiled potatoes. Salat must be shaped like a bullfinch.
• Second layerlaid out onions the third - ham, fourth - tomatoes, the fifth - shredded yolk, sixth - carrot as well seventh - grated cheese. The salad turns seven layers. Do not forget to lubricate the last layer of lettuce Bullfinch mayonnaise.

Salad decoration Bullfinch

The salad itself is incredibly tasty and satisfying, but without proper clearance it will be difficult to determine whether it is a bullfinch or another bird. A characteristic feature of the bullfinch is its red breast, which is laid out with the help of a tomato.

First make a layer of grated egg whites - these will be the feathers of our bullfinch. Decorate the bird's breast with the help of tomatoes. Olives are ideal for plumage. Make a beak from a tomato, and you can draw an eye with mayonnaise or build with an olive. A sprig of dill will be needed to simulate a branch of a tree on which a bullfinch sits.

The salad is ready to eat, but it is better to let it soak and put it in the fridge for 2 hours, after covering it with food film.

Tips for cooking Bullfinch salad

• At your discretion, you can change the composition of the salad Bullfinch or add some more layers to it. In the salad, the main thing is the design, not its content.
• To make it more convenient, apply mayonnaise with a “mesh”, without smearing it, so as not to confuse or mix the ingredients. Therefore, it is better to buy mayonnaise in a package that has a dispenser.
• Tomatoes can be replaced with red bell pepper. If you decide to replace the ham with chicken (which is quite possible), olives can be replaced with prunes to make it tastier.
• The less tomatoes and raspberries are sliced, the salad will look neater and more beautiful.

Salad Bullfinch decorate your table and surprise guests with their appearance. Salad is served chilled.
