After making the salad, you need to give it time to soak - this will make it even tastier, softer and juicier. This recipe turned out to be quite successful, as I love the combination of chicken, cheese and eggs.

How to make Sugrob salad? Prepare the products. Boil vegetables and eggs beforehand. To do this, pour water into the pan, salt it lightly and let boil. Lower pre-washed vegetables into the water. And cook them until cooked for about 15-25 minutes. Remove the finished vegetables in stages from the pan and leave them to cool. Cook the eggs for 10 minutes after boiling and transfer them to cool in a bowl of cold water.

Boil the legs in salted water until tender - about 20-40 minutes. Remove the skin, if any, and separate the meat from the bones. Let it cool. Instead of a leg like mine, you can take any other meat part of the chicken.

Peel the potatoes and carrots and grate them over a coarse grater.

Chop the chicken meat with a knife, cutting it across the fibres.

Grate the cheese on a fine grater. For this recipe, it is better to use light cheese to make a more realistic imitation of snow. At first I did not take this into account and bought ordinary cheese, but next time I will take it brighter.

Peel the boiled eggs, cut lengthways into 2 parts, gently remove the yolks and transfer them to a small bowl.

Add the crushed garlic and mayonnaise (about 1 tablespoon) to the boiled yolks and mix everything thoroughly with a fork until ground.

Fill cooked egg whites with prepared mass.

Start assembling the salad. For this, a flat dish of medium diameter is suitable - too large a plate is not needed so that the salad does not turn out to be flat. Put the grated potatoes in the first layer. Compress a little with a fork and brush with a thin layer of mayonnaise.

Put the grated carrots in the second layer and compress them in the same way and brush with mayonnaise.

The third layer is chicken meat. It is better to mix it in advance with mayonnaise and put it out like this. Top lightly and evenly sprinkle salt and pepper over the chicken to taste. If you put dry meat and try to lubricate it, it will come out sloppy.

Put half the eggs on top of the meat - these are future snowdrifts. Spread 7 halves in a circle with a pointed side to the center, and place one in the very middle of the salad.

Brush the entire salad design with mayonnaise, including eggs on top.

And sprinkle the salad with generously grated cheese. When ready, Sugrob salad looks very spectacular and actually looks like snowdrifts.

How do I know if an egg is fresh? Break it into a separate container. First of all, there should be no unpleasant smell. The protein of fresh eggs will be clear and pure. The yolk should not spread and will be shiny, convex, uniform.

Mayonnaise is better to cook on its own. It will be tastier and healthier. See here interesting recipes for homemade mayonnaise. Also, not only mayonnaise, but also sour cream or natural yogurt can be used as a dressing. They can be taken separately or mixed with mayonnaise in any proportion to your taste - this will reduce the calorie content of the dish.
