How to make Snake salad? For salad, you can take any chicken meat, both smoked and boiled. Boil the eggs hard-boiled. Salt may not be needed, it is optional. I had Russian cheese, another with a neutral cream taste or your favorite is suitable.

Prepare the REFILL. In mayonnaise, squeeze the garlic through the press and stir well, cover and let it infuse until the right moment in the refrigerator. Those who do not like garlic can not be added. It is advisable to cook mayonnaise at home, if you are shopping, take it not very thick.

Cut the meat, eggs and pineapple into about the same small cube. Grate the cheese finely. Chop the prepared nuts with a knife so that the fragments are smaller than the rest of the products, but not into small crumbs. Combine everything in a deep bowl and season with garlic mayonnaise. Garlic will only give a little piquancy, it is not particularly felt. This salad can be prepared both in layers and by mixing (faster version), we will choose it.

Since the decoration will take a considerable time from cooking, cover the salad and put it in the refrigerator. To decorate quail eggs, boil 3 - 4 minutes, quickly cool with water. Cut the olives into circles and then in half. Cut the cucumbers into almost transparent mugs, it will be more beautiful if you cut the halves too. Take a very thin cornichon for your head. For the crown, you need a piece of raw carrots 1. 5 cm high, cut out the core with a sharp knife, then denticles.

To serve, take a flat dish, diameter about 30 cm. Mayonnaise apply a point contour of the snake body.

Lay out the salad along the contour, forming a snake. Make the tail thinner, gradually add volume to the body, the latter form the head.

Thinly cover the whole snake with mayonnaise, conveniently with a brush. Start decorating with olives from the tail with a thinner strip, then switch to a double, looming a winding & quot; ridge & quot;.

Apply a cucumber pattern to the body. We fix our eyes on the head from olives, a spout, and complete the cucumber pattern from cornichon. Place quail eggs in the center, cover the gaps of the plate with lettuce leaves or other herbs. Place a crown on your head and attach a tongue made of a thin carrot petal. Place the greens near your head, too. That's it, the salad is ready for the New Year! Serve immediately or cover and place in the fridge before serving.
