New Year's Salad
Description
Perfect for everyday meals. Want to delight your guests with something original? Prepare the layered New Year's salad "Princess" with boiled beef, eggs, pickled cucumbers, and nuts—they'll be thrilled by the combination. If you like prunes or raisins, add a handful of these dried fruits to the second-to-last layer—they'll create a pleasant contrast. You can replace mayonnaise with sour cream, but the taste will be completely different—try it in advance. Don't forget to season the ingredients with salt and pepper to your taste. Decorate as desired and serve.
