Salad with Korean-style carrots
Description
Perfect for everyday meals. The "Hedgehog" salad is very appealing in appearance. You can vary the filling ingredients, the main thing is to combine them harmoniously. In this recipe, I suggest a version with chicken breast, mushrooms, cheese, and eggs. The Korean-style carrots will add a piquant flavor and an original, appetizing look. We'll pan-fry the chicken fillet, but if desired, you can bake it in the oven or simply boil it in salted water. Despite the number of ingredients, the salad is very easy and simple to prepare. Decorate as desired and serve.

Make a mayonnaise lattice on top, carefully spreading it to give the salad its final shape. If the carrot is long, slice it and place it on top, leaving part of the salad uncovered – this will be the hedgehog's face.
