Step 1:
How to make a Little Red Riding Hood salad with tomatoes? Prepare the ingredients. Wash the vegetables and egg well and dry them. Boil them until tender and cool. I advise you to take homemade mayonnaise. Instead of chicken, you can use other meat, sausage or mushrooms, fried, pickled, salted, to your taste. If you take a chicken, boil it in salted water in advance and cool it.
Step 2:
Cut the boiled chicken fillet into small cubes and transfer to a spacious bowl.
Step 3:
Peel boiled potatoes and carrots and cut into small cubes. Add them to the chicken in a bowl.
Step 4:
Peel the boiled egg and cut into small cubes. Transfer to a bowl.
Step 5:
Add mayonnaise to the salad. Instead of mayonnaise, you can use sour cream or natural unsweetened yogurt.
Step 6:
Gently mix all the ingredients with mayonnaise (or whatever you replaced it with).
Step 7:
Line a small semicircular container with cling film. Put the salad in it and tamp it well.
Step 8:
Turn the bowl over onto a larger serving dish and remove the cling film from the salad. You can arrange a salad with the help of a ring, but then it will not be rounded on top, it will not look like a "cap". If it's not critical for you, take the ring.
Step 9:
Get busy decorating for the salad. Here it matters, because thanks to it, the salad got its beautiful name - Little Red Riding Hood. Prepare the ingredients. Try to choose cherry of the same size so that the decoration looks more impressive.
Step 10:
Wash, dry and cut cherry tomatoes in half.
Step 11:
Grate the cheese on a medium or fine grater.
Step 12:
Brush the surface of the salad with a thin layer of mayonnaise. If you got it wet enough, like mine, you don't have to do it. Put the cherry halves on the entire surface of the salad. Sprinkle the base of the salad with grated cheese. Serve the salad to the table. Enjoy your meal!

To make the salad look as close to the cap as possible, you need to give the salad a semicircular shape and decorate it with something red on top. It can be pomegranate seeds or tomatoes. Tomatoes can be laid out in the same way as mine - in halves - or cut into small pieces. In order to keep the sliced tomatoes better on the surface of the salad, you can make the salad not semicircular, but put it in a round shape and tamp it so that the surface of the salad is straight.

This salad is very often prepared for New Year's holidays. Its beautiful and elegant appearance will give your table (and not only for the New Year) a festive look.

It is better to prepare mayonnaise yourself. It will be tastier and healthier. See here interesting recipes for homemade mayonnaise.
Also, as a dressing, you can use not only mayonnaise, but also sour cream or natural yogurt. They can be taken separately or mixed with mayonnaise in any proportion to your taste - this will reduce the calorie content of the dish.
