Meat salads - simple recipes

I advise you to cook the "Turtle" salad according to home recipe, with photo and video descriptions. It will be appropriate for a banquet, a children's party, and a party.

Today I want to introduce you to the classic recipe for the Turtle salad. This is an original salad that will decorate any meal.

Due to the unusual appearance this salad is often prepared for children's holidays, there it is often called the Ninja Turtle. If you also want to make a salad for children, add sour cream instead of mayonnaise. And for adult guests, I advise you to make a salad with homemade mayonnaise.

You will need: grater, knife, cutting board and oval plate.

Salad ingredients

Ingredients for decoration:

  • Cucumber (large) - 1 pc.
  • Black pepper (peas) - 2 pcs.

Choosing the ingredients

In the Turtle salad recipe, the main ingredient is chicken, but for adults, you can also cook it with beef. For our salad, you need to choose the most tender meat, that is, fillet. It should be firm, without bruising. If you buy fillets by weight, ask the seller to present the product documentation.

If you take meat in its original packaging, carefully read the information indicated on it. Choose apples with sourness. The varieties Antonovka, Semerenko and White filling are suitable for us. I gave an example of the most famous and widespread varieties in our country.

You can choose other apples according to your taste. Use juicy and sweet onions. Cheese only hard varieties... Walnuts should not taste bitter. They need to be examined carefully. The kernels should be brown or light brown in color with no black spots.

If you notice a light gray fuzz on a nut, do not eat it. This is the first sign of mold.

Step by step recipe

First stage

Second phase


Stage three

We form the salad. Lay out the ingredients in an oval shape, like a turtle shell.


Some housewives rub whites and yolks separately. Proteins are placed in the first layer, and the yolks in the penultimate layer, in front of the nuts. I rub the whole eggs and make the first layer of them. This is faster, moreover, fewer layers are obtained and less mayonnaise is used.

Fourth stage


Fifth stage


Sixth stage

The salad is ready, let's start decorating.


Also, the head can be made from a boiled egg or a piece of cheese. Kiwi is also suitable for this purpose.

Cooking options

I would like to introduce you to other recipes for this salad. I deliberately did not separate them separately, because in each recipe only one ingredient changes. The rest of the food and preparation are the same.
Turtle salad with prunes is prepared according to the classical principle. But instead of a layer of apples, a layer of prunes is made. It needs to be scalded with boiling water and cut into small pieces. It is also better to use green onions in this recipe, rather than onions.
In the Turtle salad with mushrooms and chicken, we replace apples with mushrooms. They can be boiled or fried as you wish.
As you may have guessed, the Pineapple Turtle salad is prepared without apples. The recipe uses canned pineapple... They are finely chopped and spread in a thin layer between onions and cheese. It is also better to use green onions in this salad.

We decorate the salad

In the recipe, I indicated how to make our turtle-shaped salad. We have done the main work. Now it's time to decorate this dish a little. On top of the chopped nut, you can apply flake-shaped cells of mayonnaise. Someone lays out the shell with kiwi slices. It looks very nice. You can stick sprigs of greens into the salad or make a bedding of lettuce leaves in advance. Sprinkle the edges of the plate with green onions or dill. You need to decorate the salad with details that can wither before serving.

Serving the dish

This salad like others puff salads served as independent dish... You can also serve other cold snacks with it. For example, vegetable salads, cold cuts, pate, etc. The Turtle salad is served in the dishes in which it was cooked. If it is shifted, the appearance of the dish is lost. For serving in portions, there are special portion molds. But then the salad must be cooked in them. I also recommend glass goblets for serving. It has become very fashionable now.

Good afternoon, dear friends, on the eve of the big holidays, we continue to acquaint you with all possible options for how to beautifully decorate a festive table. And today we are talking about such a salad as a turtle. There is a cake that is prepared on the basis of sour cream. But today is not about him, but about the salad.

Preparing and assembling the salad is not difficult, but its taste is simply amazing. The set of ingredients is not a large base of chicken meat, boiled or smoked. Turtle salad is so called because of the external similarity.

What I like about classic salad recipes is that you have nothing superfluous. All ingredients are selected very carefully as they have been tested by time. Only the most popular recipes can be considered classics.

Ingredients.

  • 3-4 red sweet apples.
  • 250 grams - cheese.
  • 7 eggs.
  • Mayonnaise.
  • Salt pepper to taste.
  • Walnut grains.

Cooking process.

Take apples for the salad only sweet and strong. Overripe fruits are loose and not so tasty. Before cooking apples, you need to remove the peel and get rid of the middle. In order to quickly pull out the middle there is a special round knife. It is so convenient that a whole kg of apples can be processed in 2-3 minutes. And I peel off the peel in the classics like from a potato. The apple wedges should be cut into chunks that resemble French fries. Next, I put the apple straws in a bowl, add a couple of tablespoons of mayonnaise to them, mix well and set aside for now.

I cut cheese in the same way as apples. I try to make the pieces look as similar as possible to apple pieces.

Eggs are peeled and divided into yolks and whites. I leave one egg intact, since I will need to use it for decoration, namely, to make the head of our turtle. I cut the rest of the proteins into strips, season with mayonnaise, and grate the yolks into a separate bowl.

The main ingredients are ready, you can start assembling the salad. The salad is stacked in layers.

1 layer. Apples. I spread the layer and make it a little slide and sprinkle with grated yolk. For the first layer, only half of all apples are needed.

2nd layer. Cheese. I also spread the apples on top and form a slide a little.

3rd layer. Leftover apples and yolk.

4th layer. Proteins. Above, yolks again. At the end, I decorate the slide sprinkled with yolks with walnuts.

From the remaining egg I make the head of a turtle. I cut a little to make a mouth, and from black peppercorns I make eyes.

Such a miracle should work out. Quite nothing so it turned out Bon appetit.

Turtle salad with chicken, walnuts and apples step by step recipe

This recipe, as you understand, will already be using meat. But it is not necessary to lay it out in the shape of a turtle. I will make it in a pastry ring. This will make it easier to divide the salad into portions. And in general it is beautiful.

Ingredients.

  • 2 boiled eggs.
  • 1 onion head.
  • 1 medium apple
  • 60-70 grams of cheese.

  • Salt and pepper to taste.
  • Confectionery ring.

Cooking process.

Chicken meat can be used not only boiled, you can take smoked. You can replace chicken with any other meat, pork or beef. But delicate salad will only be using chicken meat... So the choice is yours.

I cook from chicken, so the whole recipe will be with it.

And so I boil the breast in under salt water, cool it and cut it into small pieces.

Divide boiled eggs into yolk and white. Then grate in different bowls on a fine grater.

Peel the apples on a coarse grater. Pass the cheese through a grater. Walnuts can be chopped with a blender.

Cut the onion into small cubes, pour over warm water and hold for a few minutes. This technique will allow you to almost completely get rid of onion bitterness. Then we filter the onion through a sieve.

All ingredients are completely ready, you can collect the salad in a special form.

  • 1 layer of grated proteins.
  • 2 layer meat.
  • 3 layer onion.
  • 4 layer mayonnaise.
  • 5 layer apple.
  • 6 layer cheese.
  • 7 layer yolk.
  • 8 layer mayonnaise.
  • 9 layer walnuts.

Gently lay the layers by pressing down with a spatula. Before removing the mold, I hold the salad with a spatula.

It turns out that's such beauty. The salad really turns out to be tender and airy.

Turtle salad with prunes and mushrooms

In principle, kids will like any turtle salad. But this option is one of my favorites. Since it is delicious, beautiful, and very satisfying. And all thanks to mushrooms and meat.

Ingredients.

  • 1 chicken breast.
  • 3-4 eggs.
  • 400 grams of fresh mushrooms.
  • A glass of prunes.
  • Half a glass of walnuts.
  • 150 grams of cheese.
  • 1 onion head.
  • Mayonnaise.
  • Salt and pepper to taste.

Cooking process.

Boil the meat, chop, put on a dish and coat with mayonnaise.

Finely chop the onion and put on top of the mayonnaise.

Any mushrooms can be used. Better fresh, since they are pickled with a lot of vinegar and it completely kills the mushroom aroma. I take fresh mushrooms, cut into several pieces and then fry them with onions in a pan. And after it has cooled down I put it in the salad. And so the mushrooms go after the onion.

Eggs just finely chop and lay the next layer after the mushrooms.

Three cheese and spread also a layer on top of the eggs. Spreading well over the surface of the salad. Next, put the egg on one side and, like the rest of the salad, hide it under a layer of mayonnaise and cheese.

Sprinkle the salad with chopped walnuts. And we make the eyes of the turtle from the grains of black pepper.

Soak prunes in warm water and cut into strips. Next, lay out the prunes in the form of a shell as in the photo.

Set aside the salad for 40 minutes in the refrigerator to soak the layers. Bon Appetit.

  • 2 apples.

  • 1 bunch of white grapes.
  • Mayonnaise.

Cooking process.

Boil the meat, chop finely. Divide the eggs into whites and yolks. Then grate the following foods, whites and yolks, and all the different plates. Wash the grapes and divide the berries into two parts.

Lay out the salad in layers: meat-proteins-apples-cheese. Make a mayonnaise mesh after each layer.

Recipe for "Turtle" salad with chicken and walnuts

  1. Before you start preparing the Turtle salad, you must first boil the chicken fillet and eggs. Cook the breast until tender in slightly salted water - 20 minutes from the moment of boiling. Boil eggs hard-boiled, fill in cold water and peel it.

  2. Separately, you need to scald the onions with boiling water to remove the bitterness. To do this, cut the onion into small cubes and fill it with boiling water, leave it for 5 minutes, then drain the water. If the prunes are dry, soak them in water for 5-10 minutes. Well, do not forget to chop the nuts - carefully so that the kernels remain intact.

  3. Put lettuce leaves on a flat dish, which will imitate a green meadow. On the edge of the dish we place a whole egg - the turtle's head. In the center we spread half of the fillet, cut into large pieces. Lubricate the layer with mayonnaise mesh.

  4. Three egg whites on a coarse grater and put on top of the chicken. Lubricate with mayonnaise sauce, without pressing down on the layer so that it remains fluffy.

  5. Next we spread green apple, chopped on a coarse grater (the peel can not be peeled off), as well as onions pre-scalded with boiling water. We cover everything with a mayonnaise mesh.

  6. We spread the remaining chicken, not forgetting to coat the layer with sauce.

  7. Grind the egg yolks into crumbs with a fork and add to the salad along with the prunes, cut into small pieces. Lubricate with mayonnaise.

  8. Finish the layers with coarse grated hard cheese. Grease the cheese layer abundantly so that the nuts are well attached to it.

  9. We decorate the "Turtle" salad: we collect their shells of walnuts (lightly fried in a dry frying pan), shape the muzzle with olives, instead of eyes we use clove buds or black peppercorns. If you wish, you can cut flowers from vegetables and use them to decorate the "green meadow", beautifully spreading them on top of lettuce leaves.
  10. We send the dish to the refrigerator to soak the layers for 3-4 hours or overnight.

Serving the Turtle salad for the festive table.
