To give the salad as close to the cap as possible, you need to give the salad a semicircular shape to decorate with something red on top. It can be pomegranate grains or tomatoes. At the same time, tomatoes can be laid out as I have - halves - or cut into small pieces. To keep the chopped tomatoes better on the surface of the salad, you can make the salad not semicircular, but put in a round shape and compact so that the surface of the salad is straight. This salad is very often prepared for the New Year holidays. Its beautiful and elegant look will give your table (and not just for the New Year) a festive look.

How to make Red Riding Hood salad with tomatoes? Prepare the ingredients. Wash the vegetables and egg well and dry. Boil them until tender and cool. I advise you to take mayonnaise at home. Instead of chicken, you can use other meat, sausage or mushrooms, fried, pickled, salty, for your taste. If you take the chicken, boil it in salted water in advance and cool.

Cut the boiled chicken fillet into small cubes and transfer to a spacious bowl.

Peel the boiled potatoes and carrots and cut into small cubes. Add them to the chicken in a bowl.

Peel the boiled egg and cut into small cubes. Transfer to a bowl.

Add mayonnaise to the salad. Instead of mayonnaise, you can use sour cream or natural unsweetened yogurt.

Gently mix all the ingredients with the mayonnaise (or what you replaced it with).

Line a small semicircular container with clingfilm. Put the salad in it and compress well.

Turn the bowl over to a larger diameter serving dish and remove the cling film from the salad. You can design the salad with a ring, but then it will not be rounded on top, it will not look like a & quot; cap & quot;. If this is not critical for you, take the ring.

Do some salad decorating. Here it matters, because thanks to it, the salad got its beautiful name - Red Cap. Prepare the ingredients. Try to choose cherries of the same size to make the decoration look more spectacular.

Wash the cherry tomatoes, dry and cut in half.

Grate the cheese on a medium or fine grater.

Brush the surface of the salad with a brush with a thin layer of mayonnaise. If it turned out to be wet enough like mine, you may not do it. Spread the cherry halves over the entire surface of the salad. Sprinkle the base of the salad with grated cheese. Serve the salad to the table. Enjoy your meal!
