There are beautiful salads, there are festive ones, and there are simply amazing ones. The "New Year's Masquerade Mask" salad is a work of culinary art that every culinary specialist can create. This is the perfect dish for New Year's Eve. It will undoubtedly become the highlight of the festive menu. And cooking it is not at all difficult. The main thing here is good mood and lack of haste. Create such a culinary masterpiece with pleasure, and then you will succeed.
As with many other unusual themed salads, this dish also lacks an exact recipe. Products can be combined at your discretion, and they are laid out in layers. The most important thing here is to decorate the salad as a carnival mask at the end. In this recipe, I used chicken breast, so the salad turned out to be very satisfying, while at the same time light. Boiled vegetables add juiciness and freshness to the salad. Eggs make it more tender, and mayonnaise more piquant. Such a dish, both in terms of the composition of ingredients and in appearance, will ideally fit into the celebration of the New Year.
