Salad for the Year of the Black Water Rabbit with black caviar
Description
The recipe won't take much time. As we know, next year is the Year of the Black Water Rabbit according to the Eastern calendar. Therefore, I suggest a cool idea for decorating a fish salad by garnishing it with black caviar. Black bean caviar is affordable, has a beautiful glossy appearance and a pleasant taste, and besides, it can be easily found in any supermarket. Serve it at the table.

Step 1
Prepare all the necessary ingredients for the salad. Boil the potatoes, carrots, and eggs in advance and let them cool. Cook the potatoes and carrots for about 15–17 minutes, until a knife easily pierces them. Eggs require exactly 10 minutes to cook. Drain the juice from the tuna.

Place the grated boiled carrots only on the face area, and you can skip the ears. Lightly drizzle the carrot layer with mayonnaise as well.

Step 7
Cut off the rinds from the smoked processed cheese, grate it finely, and spread it as the next layer. Do not discard the rinds—they will be needed for decoration.

Cover all the ingredients with the remaining potatoes, gently press the salad with the back of a spoon, and attach the bent tab.

Step 9
Now let's move on to the decoration. I covered the sides of the salad with thin strips of nori seaweed so that the caviar would stick better, and used black fish roe for the face. I cut the eyes, nose, and cheeks from boiled egg, the pupils from an olive, and the whiskers from the rind of smoked processed cheese.
