Step by step preparation of Christmas salad with seaweed
1. Before proceeding directly to the preparation of the salad, it is necessary to prepare all the ingredients.
All root vegetables need to be boiled. Each of them will require a different cooking time: potatoes are cooked on average in 20-25 minutes, carrots will take about the same amount of time or even a little less. The beets need to be boiled the longest. However, so that the pan does not puff on the stove for a good 1.5 hours, you can resort to this trick: boil the beets for 40 minutes after boiling, and then place them in very cold water. This shock effect will help the root vegetable to cook in 30 minutes. It is better to boil potatoes for salad in advance. Chilled boiled potatoes will not be starchy or stick to the knife.
Let's start collecting the salad. To do this, we need a culinary ring, but we will begin to shape the appetizer not inside it, but outside in such a way that the salad looks like a Christmas wreath. Put grated beets in the first layer.
2. Lubricate it with mayonnaise.
3. Put the grated boiled carrots in the next layer. We leave a few rings of carrots for decoration.
4. And again the mayonnaise grid.
5. Put the potatoes on top. Don't forget the mayonnaise mesh.
6. Finish off with a generous layer of seaweed. Between potatoes and cabbage, a thin layer of finely chopped onions. If you wish, you can pickle it and mix it with kelp. Lubricate with mayonnaise.
7. Decorate the salad with dill sprigs. Let's not cut the greens: so dill will be reminiscent of spruce branches. Cut out the stars from the carrots and lay them on top of the "needles". You can add a few pomegranate or cranberries for flavor.
8. Christmas salad with seaweed is ready to delight and amaze you and your loved ones with its tastes. Help yourself!
