Salad
Description
The salad is quick and easy to prepare. Garnish it with finely chopped fresh herbs and serve to your delighted guests. I'm sure this salad will become the highlight of any festive table! The classic and essential ingredients of "Chafan" salad are meat fried with onions, carrots, beets, and potatoes. With just these ingredients, you'll already have a complete and delicious salad, but you can also add canned corn or peas, pickled onions, bell peppers, or even mushrooms. The special feature of this salad is that the ingredients are not mixed together, allowing each guest to choose and serve themselves whatever they prefer. A separate dipping sauce—mayonnaise or sour cream sauce with garlic and herbs—is served in a small bowl. Today I'm sharing my recipe with you. The salad is ready to be served.

Start assembling the salad. Place the fried meat in the center of a flat plate, then arrange the Korean carrot, peas, beet, and potato around it in a circle. You can spread mayonnaise on top, but I prefer serving mayonnaise separately.
