Salad
Description
Minimum effort — excellent result. The base of this New Year's salad consists of pork hearts, boiled eggs, and pickled onions; these ingredients will make the "Christmas tree" truly hearty. I really love the combination of meat and fruits (kiwi pairs perfectly with pork hearts and mayonnaise)—this is exactly what a festive menu needs! We'll use dill for decoration (to resemble pine branches). As for other decorative details of the New Year's salad, they will include kiwi slices, mayonnaise (for the garland), rowan berries (as ornaments), and you can also use diced red pepper or pomegranate seeds. Try my New Year's salad. It can be served right away.

Peel the onion, slice it thinly into half-rings, and place in a deep plate or bowl. Pour vinegar over it and let marinate for 10–15 minutes. I prefer my onion slightly sweet, so I also add a pinch of sugar to it, but this is optional.
