Step 1:
How to make a salad Tenderness with cheese? Prepare the products. Pre-boil the eggs, cool and peel them from the shell. Peel the onion as well. Choose natural cheese, without vegetable additives, so that it is delicious, not too spicy and salty. Apples are better suited for sweet varieties.
Step 2:
Separate one yolk at once, we will need it for decoration. I always make two servings of this salad, so I have two yolks.
Step 3:
Grate the eggs on a coarse grater.
Step 4:
Put the eggs in the first layer in a salad bowl. Gently brush them with a thin layer of mayonnaise.
Step 5:
Cut the onion into small cubes, the smaller the better.
Step 6:
Pour a small amount of onion in the next layer. Sprinkle the onion with a little sugar.
Step 7:
Cut the apples into quarters, remove the core with the bones. Peel the slices from the skin. Grate the apples on a coarse grater.
Step 8:
Lay out the apples in the next layer. Brush the apples with a thin layer of sour cream.
Step 9:
Grate the cheese as well, but already on a medium grater, then its layer will be airy and tender.
Step 10:
Lay out the cheese, smear it with a small amount of mayonnaise. Then you can finish the salad or repeat the whole sequence of layers one more time. I always repeat.
Step 11:
Sprinkle the top of the salad with egg yolk grated on a fine grater. You can also decorate with greenery. Put the finished salad in the refrigerator for a couple of hours, then it will become juicier. Then serve to the table. Bon appetit!

Very successfully this salad combines the taste of salty cheese, the sweetness of apples, a slight sharp note from onions and the tenderness of sour cream.
If you are an opponent of store-bought mayonnaise, then just cook it yourself.
This salad is great for serving portions, spread all the products in small cream layers, it will be very beautiful! It can also be placed on plates using a cooking ring, or in portions, or in one large salad.
Onions for salad can be pre-scalded with boiling water so that it does not taste bitter. And add a little salt to the egg layer, but here focus on your taste.
I remind you that salads with mayonnaise have a very short shelf life, it is better not to leave them the next day.

How to cook hard-boiled eggs? So that the eggs do not crack when cooking, put them in cold water and put them to cook on a small fire. Boil the eggs for 9 minutes after boiling, then pour cold water and cool. From a sharp temperature drop, the shell will be better cleaned.

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.

Prepare salads only from fully chilled foods. Cooked from warm, the salad can quickly deteriorate.
