How to make Beads salad in the snow with chicken for the New Year's table? Very simple! First, prepare the necessary ingredients according to the list. Instead of boiled chicken, you can take smoked, fried or baked in the oven. Pickled cucumbers can be replaced with fresh or pickled cucumbers. Eggs need large selection. If the eggs are small, take 4 pieces so that the protein is enough for the top layer.

Pre-boil the chicken fillet until cooked in salted water for about 25 minutes. Then dry the chicken and cut into small pieces.

Boil the carrots in the skin until tender, cool and peel. Grate over a coarse grater. I have two small carrots instead of one large one.

Cut the cucumbers into small cubes.

Grate the cheese over a coarse grater. The cheese for this dish will be solid or semi-solid. The main thing is that it is tasty, high-quality, without milk fat substitutes. I have ordinary Russian cheese.

Boil the eggs hard-boiled, chill and peel. Separate the proteins from the yolks. Grate the proteins on a coarse grater.

Crush the yolks with your hands directly into the grated cheese and mix everything well.

Disassemble the pomegranate into grains. Pomegranate grains should be bright red, not pale pink.

Place the chicken fillet on the dish, forming an even circle. Top with mayonnaise. I pre-transferred the mayonnaise into a cooking bag to make it more convenient to apply it to the ingredients.

Next, lay out a layer of pickled cucumbers and also pour over the mayonnaise.

Spread the grated carrots in the next layer and pour over the mayonnaise.

Put grated cheese with yolks on carrots. Pour mayonnaise over the top for the last time.

Next, spread the grated proteins over the entire surface of the salad in an evenly continuous layer. The previous layer should not be visible from under them. You should have a flat white semicircle that resembles a snowdrift.

Garnish the salad with pomegranate grains, mimicking beads. If the salad was formed on a white plate, then so that it does not merge with the plate, put the salad in a circle with pomegranate grains. Before serving, refrigerate the salad for 1 hour. Enjoy your meal!
