Chicken salad with walnuts
Description
Minimum effort — excellent result. The Turtle salad, or chicken salad with walnuts, is quite simple and quick to prepare. We only need the most common ingredients: chicken fillet, eggs, cheese, apples, onion, walnuts, and mayonnaise. I highly recommend choosing mayonnaise in a soft package when shopping, as it's more convenient for creating a drizzled pattern. Overall, it takes me about 40 minutes to prepare this salad. Good luck, and you can serve it right away.

Prepare all the necessary ingredients for the salad. Boil the chicken (it's best to use chicken breast) until fully cooked. Hard-boil the eggs.

Step 2
Cut the chicken and onion into small cubes. Grate the eggs (separating yolks and whites) on a medium grater. Reserve one egg white for salad decoration. Peel the apple and grate it on a coarse grater, then do the same with the cheese.

Take a flat dish. Place the first layer - egg whites, then the chicken layer, followed by the onion layer, apple layer, and then the cheese layer. Lightly coat each layer with mayonnaise (as shown in the photo).

Step 4
Sprinkle the top of the salad with egg yolks. Then carefully create a grid pattern with mayonnaise. Place one walnut kernel into each square. Use the egg whites to decorate the salad—make a head and paws. Shape eyes from peppercorns and a mouth from a small piece of carrot. Our salad is ready!
