Festive meat salad
Description
Perfect for everyday meals. Looking at the ingredient list for this salad, you won't see anything unusual, but it's the preparation method that makes this salad completely different from others. The onion, carrots, and chicken breast are sautéed in vegetable oil before being added to the salad. This gives it a special touch, making the salad very filling and delicious. After I tried this salad for the first time, I never wanted to prepare it any other way. I suggest you try this version too. Garnish as desired and serve.

Line a deep salad bowl with plastic wrap and place it in the freezer for 10-15 minutes to chill thoroughly. Then, take 2/3 of the mayonnaise jelly and spread it thinly over the bottom and sides of the bowl. Since the bowl is cold, the jelly will begin to set quickly. Immediately return it to the refrigerator and let it set completely.
