Puff salads are very popular; they are prepared both on weekdays and for a festive table. A variety of products are used for their preparation; meat and fish are very successfully combined in such salads with vegetables, mushrooms, etc., and the more imagination the hostess shows, the more original and refined dishes she gets.

The disadvantage of puff salads is that they are very heavy food, because each of the layers is coated with mayonnaise, sour cream or other sauce. But such a salad can be considered a full-fledged dinner or lunch: ate a portion - and was full for several hours. And then, you can always season the salad with low-calorie mayonnaise or choose another dressing for it.
The main principles for making a good flaky salad are combining products and using the optimal amount of mayonnaise or other dressing to coat the layers.
Boil meat and fish, intended for the preparation of puff salad, in salted water until cooked. We also boil vegetables in salted water (if after cooking they are immediately immersed in cold water and held in it for about 10 minutes, then it will be much easier to remove the peel from them).
In general, boiled vegetables must be cooled before using them in a puff salad, otherwise it will lose its taste and quickly deteriorate.
It is customary to cut the components for puff salads as finely as possible, or grate them.
If, according to the recipe, onion is present in a puff salad, then it is better to marinate it, ideally in lemon juice, then it will be more delicate in taste and aromatic.

Puff salads are a complete work of art. Most often they are prepared on holidays. Each layer must be prepared separately, each coat must be coated with mayonnaise. Yes, it takes more time, but it's worth it, and for several reasons at once.

Firstly, it is, of course, the appearance of the salad. Each puff salad is literally a culinary masterpiece. After all, all its ingredients are selected, not only based on taste preferences, but also in color. The more contrasting the layers are, the tastier the salad will be. Secondly, puff salads are much more satisfying than ordinary salads, because in them, almost every layer is soaked in sauce.

And finally, flaky salads are always tastier than ordinary salads, especially because they are very juicy. However, not all housewives manage to make puff salad juicy in moderation. Some, remembering the past sad experience, coat the layers with a greasy layer of mayonnaise, which of course spoils the dish. And in order for the salad to be moderately saturated, you just need to leave it in the refrigerator for a couple of hours.
