The Mistress puff salad is made from raw and boiled vegetables and a spicy dressing based on mayonnaise.

Who will like the salad?

This recipe will be appreciated by lovers of savory dishes, primarily due to the spicy garlic sauce. Components of various tastes - sweet, salty and bitter - are combined in a harmonious unity.

The mayonnaise and garlic salad dressing is quite nutritious. But even those who follow their figure should not deny themselves the pleasure of eating a portion of a tender vegetable dish. You just need to use mayonnaise in a small amount or with less fat in its composition. Thus, you will only emphasize the taste of the main ingredients of the salad, and it will become very "light".

The recipe will also appeal to vegetarians if they allow the use of lean mayonnaise and boiled vegetables. Lack of meat, favorite vegetables in such a sophisticated combination - this is definitely suitable for adherents of a special lifestyle.

Children often show dislike for garlic dishes, therefore, if you want to please the children with something new, prepare homemade mayonnaise to lubricate the layers and season it with a little garlic for flavor.

This salad will be your favorite too, because it will take a minimum of time and money from you to prepare it.

Such a recipe is suitable for the Christmas and New Year's table, and also useful for any other occasion - be it a name day or an ordinary family dinner.

Typical Ingredients and Other Formulation Options

Each hostess can change the recipe of the famous salad at her discretion to please the taste preferences of loved ones or guests. Traditionally, this dish consists of the following components:

• Carrots - 1 or 2 pieces
• Beets - 1-2 pieces (taking into account the size of the fruit)
• Hard cheese - 100-150 grams
• Seedless Raisins - Handful
• Peeled walnuts - 2-3 tablespoons
• Garlic - 1-3 cloves (to taste)
• Mayonnaise - 3-4 tablespoons

Try using processed cheese instead of hard cheese in the appropriate layer. And you can sprinkle the top of the finished salad with chopped hard cheese.

You can also add some prunes and dried apricots to the recipe (by mixing them with beets). For lovers of sourness, you can include a sweet and sour apple, which is peeled, rubbed on a coarse grater and sprinkled with lemon juice a little. Cranberries or pomegranate seeds are often used to garnish dishes.

Preparation of components

1. The beets are boiled until tender, peeled and rubbed on a coarse grater, the excess juice is decanted.
2. Fresh peeled carrots are chopped in the same way (or on a fine grater) into a separate bowl, squeezed out if necessary. For those who do not like fresh carrots, you should try to fry the grated vegetable in vegetable oil.
3. Hard cheese or processed cheese is rubbed coarsely, without mixing with vegetables.
4. Raisins are steamed with hot water for a minute.
5. The walnut should be finely chopped. Several nucleoli can be left intact to garnish the salad.
6. Garlic is passed through a press or chopped finely, then mixed with mayonnaise. Layers of salad can be greased with mayonnaise alone, and chopped garlic can only be added on top of carrot or beetroot.

Preparation

The Mistress salad is laid out in a bowl or salad bowl in layers:

• 1 layer: half of beets (with prunes / dried apricots), smeared with mayonnaise; chopped nuts can be added to this layer
• 2nd layer: steamed chilled raisins
• 3rd layer: carrots with mayonnaise-garlic dressing
• 4th layer: grated hard / processed cheese and mayonnaise
• Layer 5: chopped apple (optional), greased with mayonnaise
• Layer 6: leftover beets, flavored with sauce (mayonnaise and garlic) and sprinkled with chopped walnuts, cranberries, pomegranate or hard cheese

The salad will look prettier if you make many thin layers, that is, divide the beets, carrots and cheese into at least 3 layers.

Some housewives will prefer to mix each vegetable with the dressing in a separate bowl and then put it in a salad bowl to keep everything well and evenly soaked. Others, however, can improve the recipe to their liking - instead of generously seasoning the layers with mayonnaise, you can draw a "mesh" over the vegetables. So the salad will turn out to be less greasy, which is important for everyone who is worried about their health, and more "light".

Original design of salad

For a romantic dinner, decorate the salad with hearts. Use a boiled beetroot cutter or knife to cut them out. Alternatively, make the desired pattern with pomegranate or cranberry seeds. It will be even more interesting to look at a salad not of a round shape, but in the form of a heart, laid out on a flat dish. Refined work and delicious salad will definitely fall in love with your loved one.

Roses are rightly considered a symbol of passion and love. Therefore, your ability to decorate dishes with flowers from vegetables will come in handy. For the "Mistress" salad, roses from boiled carrots or beets and parsley or green onion feathers imitating the leaves of a flower are suitable.

If you use a special round shape for puff salads, beautiful multi-colored layers will be visible from the side.

Place the prepared salad in the refrigerator to soak for at least an hour. Then treat your family and friends and yourself evaluate the recipe for an unusually tasty, simple and healthy dish.

I don’t know about you, but I love recipes with original or unusual names, because the routine of listing the main ingredients as the title of a culinary article always makes me bored. That is why, when visiting my mother-in-law, I heard that today we will eat a new mistress salad, I was immediately involuntarily pulled for a notebook. And she turned out to be right in the end - in my house this delicate and delicious salad melting in my mouth just disappeared from the table in just a few minutes. I drew conclusions and now I cook it on the largest dish.

Today I will present you a classic recipe for the "Mistress" salad with beets and carrots, flavored with dried apricots with raisins, prunes and garlic - only this dish intersects and feels great together, which is usually not combined.

Kitchen appliances: Select in advance all the necessary utensils, tools and devices for obtaining the perfect Mistress salad: a wide, beautiful and slightly flat dish (salad bowl is unlikely to fit) with a diagonal of 23 cm, several bowls (deep) with a volume of 450 to 850 ml, a pan with a non-stick coated with a volume of 700 ml or more, tablespoons, teaspoons, a measuring cup or kitchen scale, linen and cotton towels, a cutting board, a coarse and medium grater, a sharp knife and a wooden spatula. Among other things, I strongly advise you to equip yourself with a blender or mixer to make the perfect filling for your salad.

Did you know? Absolutely any salads with mayonnaise dressing simply hate plastic dishes and appliances that directly affect the quality of the product. It is also forbidden to store vegetable salads in plastic containers or bowls, so as not to give them the appropriate unpleasant aftertaste after a few hours in the refrigerator.

You need

Important! This list of ingredients can be changed if you decide to add something of your own to the classic recipe, for example, boiled meat, ham or even red fish. Also, try to choose high-quality, fresh and non-sluggish vegetables, since the crisp structure of the salad depends on this factor.

Cooking sequence

Training

Did you know? It will also be useful to add some additional ingredients to the filling that improve its taste and aroma: lemon juice or acid diluted in a tablespoon of water, basil, oregano or curry. You can also use liquid food coloring to give the fill an unusual and especially beautiful color.

Important! Try to use separate utensils for all three salad layers, and rinse the grater after each use so you don't mix colors, which will make your salad look smooth and less beautiful. In addition, make sure that each of the ingredients is, if possible, free from excess moisture and juice, since the finished dish will not hold its shape due to this.

Build lettuce

1. On a dish intended for serving salad, lay out carrot layer with dried fruits.
2. Spread it carefully by hand or with a wooden spatula.
3. After that, pour out grated cheese with garlic, carefully level its mass over the surface of the previous orange layer.
   
4. Only now are we starting to add the fill: carefully pour it over the cheese and level it by hand or with a spoon.
   
5. At the very end, we spread beets with chopped prunes, flatten, slightly press.
   
6. Sprinkle the prepared salad with ground or crushed on top walnuts.
   

Did you know? It is not at all necessary to make the salad in this order, because each of us has our own taste and opinion of what goes best with what, so in this area you have complete freedom of choice. Just do not forget that it is still better to add the mayonnaise filling only once, and not sandwich all layers with it, as this will make your salad fatter and hide all the charm and range of tastes over which we sweated so much.

That's all! The original, great looking and very delicate Mistress salad is completely ready! Now we just need to choose a design corresponding to the name - I personally choose green onions, feathers of dill, parsley and basil, and also sprinkle juicy and bright red viburnum berries or cherries next to it, so that the first person who sees the salad immediately reaches for a spoon ...

Of course, such a dish is certainly prepared as an independent one, but no one will forbid you to pick up a suitable piece of meat for it or fry some potatoes. Serve the salad immediately after picking and store it for no more than a week, as it quickly turns into obscure herb under the mayonnaise.

Hello! Today I am making a delicious Mistress salad! The salad is perfect for Valentine's Day on February 14. It can also be served on any festive table.

From the products I took:

• 300 grams of boiled beets;
• 300 grams of raw carrots;
• 200 gr of cheese;
• 50 grams of walnuts;
• 30 grams of prunes;
• 50 grams of raisins;
• 3 cloves of medium-sized garlic;
• mayonnaise.

Cooking process:

I rub the beets, carrots and cheese on a medium grater.

She chopped walnuts with a knife. I add them to the beets in a deep bowl.

You can also add a small amount of prunes to beets.

And I add chopped garlic to the plate with grated cheese (I have marble cheese, you can take any, for example, creamy or Russian with a mild taste). You can chop it with a knife, squeeze it out with a garlic press, or rub it on a grater.

Then I salt each layer in a separate bowl. You don't need to salt the cheese.

I add mayonnaise to each bowl to taste.

And it turns out like three salads, which can be easily eaten separately. But I will make layers out of them. And I mix everything well. Each layer takes 1.5-2 tbsp. mayonnaise.

I still add finely chopped prunes to the beets. Before adding it, I rinsed it, dried it and cut it. Be sure to try each layer with salt after mixing.

Now I start serving the salad. I have a heart-shaped plastic bread bin as a shape. In order not to get it dirty, I tightened the bottom and side inner sides of the bowl with cling film. You can use special split forms. If these are not at hand, you can immediately spread the layers on a flat dish as follows: first carrots, then cheese and beets.

And I arrange the layers differently, the first will be the beets, since I have a form with a closed bottom and I will turn it over onto the dish.

So, I spread the first layer and level it.

I leave a spoonful of salad for serving in a small bowl. I crush the salad and create a heart shape, while the edges should be even so that the layers look good. Then I spread the cheese and spread it over the entire surface.

I also leave one tablespoon for the bowl. I put the last layer of carrots in a cup and level them.

I put one spoon in a bowl and made a depression in the middle, since its shape is a cone.

When all the layers are laid, you can tighten the mold with plastic and put it in the refrigerator if you will be serving the salad the next day. The salad must be infused for 4 hours before serving. But today I will not wait, but I will immediately start decorating it.

I leave the salad form and move on to serving the bowl. The first layer is the carrot, then I spread the cheese and smooth it with a thin layer over the entire surface of the carrot.

The last layer is beets.

The finished salad can be decorated with either a beetroot rose, or nuts with cheese. In general, decorate as it is more convenient for you.

The bowl with salad is ready, now I return to the main form. I cover it with a large flat platter and turn it over quickly. Thus, after I removed the form and film, I got a salad heart. I grease it on top with mayonnaise using a silicone spatula. The finished salad can be decorated with a net of mayonnaise, or you can cut roses from a tomato and put on the top layer. The decoration method depends on your preference.

I will decorate salads with mayonnaise. Having put it in a pastry bag, I start decorating with a bowl. I make imitation of snow on top of the salad.

You can put nuts on top of the mayonnaise. I took a daikon as a decoration and cut thin strips with a vegetable peeler. From these strips I make roses and decorate the salad. I use parsley for the green leaves. Since the daikon is white, it can be painted with beets and it will be pink.

It turns out very nicely. In the same way, I decorate the main course heart. Pour the top layer of the salad with mayonnaise. But not in a continuous stream, but in thin curls. I twist 12 roses from daikon and place them around the edges of the heart. Next, I paint the white roses with food red dye. I add a couple of parsley leaves for color saturation and the salad is ready!

Thus, I decorated the salad, it turned out to be very beautiful to look at! Try to cook it and also decorate it, and you will surprise your loved ones!
