First, marinate the onion. To do this, chop it into small cubes, pour over a mixture of water and vinegar, add salt and sugar. Mix well and let it sit for 15 minutes.

Step 3
To shape the salad, we'll need a template with a picture of a doggy face. I printed it on a printer and cut it out. Place the template on a plate and outline it with mayonnaise. Then remove the template.

It only remains to decorate the salad. Make the eyes, nose, and mouth from olives. For the ear and spots, I used a mixture of finely chopped prunes and olives. You can chop them finely or process in a blender (which is what I did).
