Step-by-step preparation of salad for the New Year 2018 with tuna and apples in the form of a dog
1. The first step is to boil the eggs and clean them. Cut off the edges on one or two eggs, which will then be ears. We put them aside. Divide one egg into white and yolk, set the white aside. Cut the rest of the eggs into small cubes or three on a grater.
2. Cut the onion into small cubes. If you do not like the taste of onions or you have come across a particularly bitter variety, then pour boiling water over it for 10 minutes. Then drain and rinse. Thanks to such actions, all the bitterness will go away, but the crunch and juiciness will remain.
3. Peel the apples and three on the track to the seed pods. This way your fingers and nails will not be damaged. Three cheese on a fine or coarse grater. 1/3 of the cheese will go to the salad, the rest is needed for decoration.
4. Open the tuna and drain the liquid. We crumple the fish with a fork. Put all the ingredients in a bowl and season with mayonnaise. Mix well.
5. Choose a flat dish or salad plate and lay it out.
6. Now comes the fun part. Take the cheese you set aside and pave the entire salad. Place your ears on your head. A couple of drops of mayonnaise will help keep them where they need to be. Grate the remaining protein on a fine grater. Shape it into "cheeks" for the dog. There is a trifle left - the olive (sausage) will replace the eyes and nose. Black pepper or cloves are antennae. But a sausage or a piece of sausage will become a tongue.
7. Ready salad with tuna and apples under cheese in the form of a dog is best not to store for a long time - an hour or two, so that it does not weather. Therefore, decorate the dish just before serving to celebrate New Year 2018.
