Salad
Description
When I was a child, New Year's was my favorite holiday. And one of the main features of the festive table, as I clearly remember, was always the "New Year's Clock" salad (I know some call it differently—"New Year's Chimes"). It stood in the center of the table and, by tradition, was served onto plates only after midnight. Well, let's reminisce about childhood and make the "New Year's Clock" salad once again. In my opinion, it's a very original way to decorate the holiday table with a delicious and hearty salad. Read on for my recipe.

Again, lightly coat with a small amount of mayonnaise. Grate the hard cheese on a fine grater and spread it as the next layer.

Grate the egg whites on a fine grater and spread them as the final layer. Decorate the salad to resemble a clock. You can cut the hands and numbers out of carrots; it will look very beautiful. The "New Year Clocks" salad is ready! Happy New Year!
