The Soviet Union is long gone, but many housewives cherish its legacy as traditional salads. And the salad got its name for the shape in the form of a hat of the Grand Duke Vladimir Monomakh. Symbols of the Soviet deficit and Russian wealth have merged into one, presenting the world with a nourishing and beautiful salad "Monomakh's Hat". It is a multi-layered salad made from a wide variety of inexpensive and popular foods. It is not particularly complex, but very sophisticated. Traditionally, it is prepared from boiled vegetables, any kind of meat and is dressed with mayonnaise. Everyone can create it, while decorating ideas are not limited to anything, only the imagination of the culinary specialist.
Preparing a salad is very simple, and a large selection of products is used.

Step-by-step preparation of the "Monk's Hat" salad:
1. Dip the washed vegetables into a saucepan: beets, potatoes and carrots. Cover them with drinking water, add salt and simmer after simmering until soft. Potatoes and carrots will cook faster, so remove them early and continue cooking the beets until tender.
2. Wash the chicken fillet, put it in a saucepan and boil in the same way in slightly salted water. Simultaneously set the eggs to boil until they are steep. Chill all boiled foods well. Since the cooking and cooling process takes a long time, I advise you to prepare food in advance and prepare the salad in the morning.
3. When all the ingredients are prepared, start shaping the salad. Select a dish and place the grated potatoes in it.
4. Spread the potato layer with mayonnaise.
5. Grate the beets in the same way and lay out the next layer. Also coat it with mayonnaise.
6. Cut the chicken into slices or tear into fibers, which are placed on the beets and spread with mayonnaise.
7. Place the carrot layer on the meat and apply the sauce to it.
8. Pierce the walnuts in a clean, dry frying pan. Detail them in medium pieces and lay out with the next layer.
7. Grate the cheese on a medium grater and put on the nuts, lightly saturate it with the sauce.
8. Peel the eggs, grate on a medium grater and place on a salad. Make all layers in a semicircle in the form of a hat.
9. Peel the pomegranate and disassemble it into grains, which figuratively decorate the salad in the form of precious stones on the king's crown. Chill the salad in the refrigerator for about 2-3 hours. So that it is well saturated and serve it to the table.
