The Pomegranate Bracelet salad is perhaps one of the most controversial dishes in modern Russian home cooking. The debate is not only about his classic recipe, but also about how to eat pomegranate seeds correctly - with or without seeds. The dish itself looks amazing and turns out to be very tasty. The bright puff "Bracelet" ring will undoubtedly decorate any festive table.

Like any "winter" salad, "Pomegranate bracelet" requires preliminary preparation of the main components. Consider this when planning your cooking time. All vegetables and meat must be boiled or fried, and then completely cooled. Another important point: it is not necessary to generously coat each layer with mayonnaise. Only the driest foods can be seasoned. You can also replace the high-calorie sauce with sour cream, Greek yogurt.

Classic recipe for salad "Pomegranate bracelet" with chicken and walnuts (with photo)

What you need for cooking:

• chicken (breast or leg fillet) - 350 g;
• potatoes - 3-4 medium-sized tubers;
• beets - 2-3 pcs. (small);
• onions - 1 large or 2 medium onions;
• ripe pomegranate - 1 large or 2 medium-sized;
• walnuts (kernels) - 150 g;
• mayonnaise - 4-5 tbsp. l .;
• freshly ground pepper - a pinch;
• odorless sunflower oil - 30 ml (for frying).

How to make a salad:

1. It is logical to start cooking with ingredients that require heat treatment so that they have time to cool down by the time the salad is assembled.

   Wash beets and potatoes well to remove soil residues. Without removing the "uniform", put in separate pans, fill with water. Boil until soft. Depending on the variety and size of tubers, the potatoes are boiled for 30-50 minutes. It will take about 1.5-2 hours to bring the beets to readiness.

   Boil the chicken by placing it in boiling water for 25-35 minutes (after boiling again). To make the chicken meat more juicy and flavorful, you can add a couple of allspice peas, half a teaspoon of mustard seeds, bay leaf, a slice of celery root (parsley, parsnip) to the pan. It is better to salt the fillets at the very end of cooking, so the fibers will remain as soft as possible. The classic composition of the "Pomegranate Bracelet" includes the breast, but it is permissible to replace it with other parts of the carcass, for example, legs. Remove the finished chicken from the broth, transfer to a plate to cool. Cut the cooled meat into small cubes.

   In the meantime, the fillet is being cooked, peel, cut the onion into small cubes.



2. Put it in well-heated oil in a frying pan. Stir and fry until transparent. And then add the boiled chicken. Mix everything, add a little salt, pepper, fry until crispy. Then remove from heat and cool to room temperature.



3. On the pomegranate peel, make several neat cuts with a knife, remove the grains.



4. Peel the boiled vegetables, let them cool, grate on a medium grater, mix with a little salt (spices - optional). Dry the kernels a little in the oven or in a frying pan without oil, chop not too coarsely. When all the components are prepared, start assembling the salad. To lay it out in the form of a bracelet, you need a flat dish and a glass (preferably with flat sides). Place the glass in the center of the plate and lay out layers of the Pomegranate Bracelet around it. The first layer is grated potatoes.



5. It should be covered with a thin layer of mayonnaise.



By the way, to make the salad more piquant and aromatic, you can add a clove of garlic to the mayonnaise.

6. Pour the chicken fried with onions on top, trim. Coat with mayonnaise.



7. Put grated beets on the chicken, spread a small amount of mayonnaise over its entire surface.



8. Sprinkle generously with nuts, brush with mayonnaise.

9. The last layer is pomegranate seeds. For the pomegranate top of the "Bracelet" to be beautiful and bright, the pomegranate must be ripe. It is advisable to choose a variety with small bones to make the dish more pleasant to eat. Carefully cover the finished salad with cling film, refrigerate for soaking for at least 1 hour, but it is better to keep it in the cold longer.

A step-by-step recipe with chicken fillet and mushrooms (champignons) - well, very tasty!

List of required ingredients:

• large, ripe pomegranate - 1 pc .;
• potatoes (medium-sized) - 3-4 pcs.;
• carrots (medium) - 2 pcs.;
• beets (moderately large) - 1 pc .;
• chicken breast fillet - 1 pc .;
• fresh champignons - 300 g;
• mayonnaise - 150-200 g (how much it will take);
• table salt (fine) - 0.75 tsp (taste);
• garlic - 1 clove;
• vegetable oil, deodorized - for frying;
• parsley greens - a few twigs - for decoration.

Step-by-step cooking recipe:

1. Vegetables must be boiled, cooled. It is very convenient to put them to cook in the evening. Beets, potatoes, and carrots will cool down overnight, so you don't have to pause while cooking. For the "Pomegranate Bracelet", as for most classic winter salads with mayonnaise, vegetables must be boiled in the peel. Rinse thoroughly before cooking. Potatoes and carrots can be put in the same pot. Beets quickly turn water into a "dirty color", so it is best to cook them separately. Carrots, depending on the size of the root vegetable, will cook for 30-40 minutes. It will take about the same amount of time to cook potatoes. Beets take longer to cook - at least 1.5 hours, or even all 2.5. Boil vegetables with a low but constant boil. Check for readiness by piercing with a fork.
2. Chicken should also be boiled. To preserve juiciness, it is placed in a saucepan with already boiling water, and salted shortly before cooking. To prevent chicken meat from turning out too bland, you can use spices during cooking.
3. Wash the mushrooms. If the skin is too dirty, it is better to remove it. Cut the mushrooms into small cubes. Fry in hot oil until golden brown, add salt, pepper, garlic passed through a crusher. Cool the ready mushrooms.

By the way, in this recipe you can also use pickled mushrooms - honey mushrooms, champignons, etc. The taste of the salad will turn out to be somewhat different, but also very interesting.

4. Peel the boiled vegetables that have cooled down, grate on a coarse grater, and arrange in separate bowls. Add a spoonful of mayonnaise, a small pinch of salt to each bowl, mix.
5. Collect the salad in the form of a bracelet. To make a neat hole in the middle, you can use a glass or mug without a handle, cylindrical in shape. Put potatoes on the bottom of a round plate. It is not necessary to tamp the layers too much, but it is also not necessary to stack products carelessly.
6. Next is the carrot-mayonnaise layer.
7. Next - boiled chicken + some mayonnaise. Just enough sauce will be needed so that the layer does not disintegrate and not drip.
8. After chicken breast - mushrooms. They are quite greasy, so you don't need to lubricate them.
9. The next one is beets, pre-mixed with salt and mayonnaise.
10. Peel the pomegranate, carefully decorate the salad with its seeds. The pomegranate layer of the "Bracelet" should be as dense, uniform and beautiful as possible.

If desired, it can be replaced with a mixture of sour cream (thick, unsweetened yogurt) and a little mustard.

4. Beets in our recipe are already boiled, so we just remove the skin from it and rub it too.

5. Boil a piece of pork until soft, let it cool and cut into oblong pieces.

6. Dry the nuts and press with a rolling pin. It is necessary to obtain medium sized nut crumbs.

7. On a flat round dish, put a glass upside down, around which we form the first layer - potato. Slightly compact, especially on the border with the glass, and grease with mayonnaise.

8. Then put the pork cubes. Cover with mayonnaise.

Good day to all!
Today I will tell you my version of the "Pomegranate Bracelet" salad. Each housewife cooks differently, with boiled chicken, with smoked chicken, with tongue, with mushrooms. But here I like pork more, it turns out to be very satisfying and tasty.
Boil vegetables beforehand, peel. Boil the pork pulp in salted water.
First, let's prepare a plate on which we will lay out our salad. To do this, in the center of the plate we will put an upside down glass upside down, and in fact, we will lay out our bracelet around it.

I put potatoes in the first layer. I rub the vegetables on a grater (I tried to cut them into cubes and slices, but I like the grated version better).

Grate potatoes on a coarse grater

Top the potatoes with a layer of mayonnaise

The next layer is carrots. I rub it on a fine grater

We also coat with a layer of mayonnaise.
I put meat on top of the carrots. I just cut the pork into small pieces

I also grease the meat with a layer of mayonnaise on top.
Next, three beets on a coarse grater and spread on top of the pork.
I grease a layer of beets with mayonnaise and sprinkle with pomegranate seeds on top. The number of pomegranate seeds is optional.
And then we carefully take out the glass. We've got a real garnet bracelet.
We give the salad time to soak (I usually do it in the evening, the night is soaked in the refrigerator and you can eat the next day).
Very tender, melting in the mouth and very satisfying salad.
