Step 1:
How to make a salad Beads in the snow with chicken for the New Year's table? Very simple! First, prepare the necessary ingredients according to the list. Instead of boiled chicken, you can take smoked, fried or baked in the oven. Pickled cucumbers can be replaced with fresh or salted ones. Eggs need large selected ones. If the eggs are small, take 4 pieces so that the protein is enough for the top layer.
Step 2:
Pre-boil chicken fillet until tender in salted water for about 25 minutes. Then dry the chicken and cut into small pieces.
Step 3:
Boil the carrots in the peel until tender, cool and peel. Grate on a coarse grater. I have two small carrots instead of one large one.
Step 4:
Cut cucumbers into small cubes.
Step 5:
Grate the cheese on a coarse grater. Cheese for this dish is suitable solid or semi-solid. The main thing is that it is delicious, high-quality, without milk fat substitutes. I have a regular Russian cheese.
Step 6:
Boil hard boiled eggs, cool and peel. Separate the whites from the yolks. Grate the proteins on a coarse grater.
Step 7:
Crumble the yolks with your hands directly into the grated cheese and mix everything well.
Step 8:
Disassemble the pomegranate into grains. Pomegranate seeds should be bright red, not pale pink.
Step 9:
Place the chicken fillet on the dish, forming an even circle. Pour mayonnaise on top. I pre-transferred the mayonnaise into a cooking bag so that it would be more convenient to apply it to the ingredients.
Step 10:
Next, lay out a layer of pickled cucumbers and also pour mayonnaise.
Step 11:
Spread the grated carrots in the next layer and pour over the mayonnaise.
Step 12:
Put grated cheese with yolks on the carrots. Pour mayonnaise on top for the last time.
Step 13:
Next, spread the grated proteins evenly over the entire surface of the salad in a solid layer. The previous layer should not be visible from under them. You should have a smooth white semicircle resembling a snowdrift.
Step 14:
Decorate the salad with pomegranate seeds, imitating beads. If the salad was formed on a white plate, then so that it does not merge with the plate, also lay out the salad with pomegranate seeds in a circle. Before serving, put the salad in the refrigerator for 1 hour. Enjoy your meal!

Chicken can be replaced with turkey or any other type of meat at your request. But keep in mind that in this case, the cooking time and calorie content of the dish will change.

It is better to prepare mayonnaise yourself. It will be tastier and healthier. See the interesting ones here 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.

Life hack: if pomegranate seeds do not hold well on the protein layer and strive to roll off it, you can pre-apply thin strips of mayonnaise from the pastry bag. And already attach "beads" from a grenade to them.
