Christmas tree salad for the new year

6 servings
30 min

Rinse the mushrooms and cut into medium pieces. Peel the onions, cut into half rings.

We put the frying pan on the fire, pour vegetable oil and heat it a little. Pour out the mushrooms and onions, add a pinch of salt, stir and fry over a medium heat for 10 minutes, stirring constantly.

We rub smoked cheese on a coarse grater.

Boil the carrots until tender for about 30 minutes, cool, clean and grate one whole and half on a fine grater - half of the carrots will go to decorate.

Boil the eggs hard-boiled for 10 minutes, transfer to cold water until completely cooled. Clean and three on a coarse grater.

Dill with a knife, having previously cut off the stems.

For the first layer, mix the mushrooms with cheese and mayonnaise so that the mushrooms stick together well and the salad does not crumble. We lay out the first layer, forming a Christmas tree. We try to compress everything well and make a uniform surface, without bumps.

Mix the carrots with mayonnaise, mix and lay out the second layer, also compress well and level with a fork. If we mix carrots and mayonnaise at once, then it will be more convenient for us to apply a layer, and mayonnaise will take less, literally 1 tablespoon.

The third layer is eggs. We also pre-mix them with mayonnaise and apply them evenly according to our template.

The final layer is decorative. It's dill. Sprinkle them generously with salad so that it looks as good as a real Christmas tree.

As a decoration and used the remaining carrots and canned red pepper. I cut carrots into large circles and cut small ones out of them (you can squeeze them out straight from the middle of large ones), also cut circles and a star from pepper. I made garlands from mayonnaise, placing it in a bag and making a small hole there. Also, canned corn, peas, cherry tomatoes, etc. can be used as decor.
