Description

A simple dish to prepare. This colorful tiger-shaped salad will definitely attract everyone's attention. You can make the salad with boiled sausage instead of beef or with smoked sausage—choose according to your taste. The main thing is to boil plenty of carrots to cover the entire salad. Serve chilled.

    Cut the pickled cucumbers into cubes and leave the chopped pieces on the board for 5 minutes to let the brine drain out. Then squeeze out the cucumbers and discard the brine. Add the chopped cucumbers to the other ingredients.

    Dice the boiled or baked beef and add it to a bowl along with 2-3 tbsp of mayonnaise of any fat content, salt, and ground black pepper. Gently mix the salad. Mix the remaining mayonnaise with black food coloring; you'll need it to decorate the tiger's face.

    Then grate the remaining boiled carrots on a fine grater, season with salt, and spread the grated mass over the entire face. On the same grater, grate the remaining egg white. Place the egg white below the face, a little above the eyebrows and on the ears. Draw eyes with black mayonnaise, using a piping bag. Make black stripes and outline the nose, mouth, and ears. Place olives on the nose and eyes. The eyes can be made from olives. Put the salad in the refrigerator to chill and marinate.
