This is what culinary luxury looks like! A salad adorned with green grapes is a true gastronomic gem—just as beautiful as it is delicious.
Ingredients: 500 g chicken fillet; 100 g seedless grapes; 4 eggs; 100 g hard cheese; 100 g walnuts; 1 onion; 1 tablespoon vinegar; a pinch of sugar; mayonnaise, salt, and chicken seasoning to taste.
Cut the chicken fillet into cubes, season with curry, fry until golden brown, and let it cool.
Lightly toast the peeled walnuts in a dry skillet and chop them up.
Boil, cool, peel, and grate the eggs on a coarse grater. Grate the hard cheese separately on a medium grater.
Chop the peeled onion, pour hot water over it with sugar and vinegar, let it cool, and then squeeze out some of the liquid.
Layer the salad on a flat plate in the following order: half of the chicken fillet, half of the pickled onions, half of the walnuts, half of the cheese, and half of the eggs. Then repeat the layers in the same order. Spread mayonnaise on each layer (salting is optional). Apply a particularly thick layer of mayonnaise on top, as this will hold the decoration in place.
On the top layer of the salad, arrange the halved grapes cut side down. Place them in circles, as if weaving a “cap” of grapes.
Put the salad in the refrigerator to let it soak, and after two to three hours, it will be ready to serve as a festive dish.
Life Hack
This recipe allows for the addition of ground nutmeg, and you can substitute some of the walnuts with almonds. However, it’s essential not to skip the basic seasoning for fried chicken: without curry, we won’t achieve the classic flavor that this complex salad is meant to have.
