Lover's Kiss Salad

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to make a bright puff salad Lover's Kiss? Simple enough. First, prepare all the necessary ingredients according to the list. Beets can be used boiled or baked in the oven. In stores, ready-made boiled beets are sold in vacuum packaging. Using store-bought beets will save you cooking time.

2. Step 2:

   

   Boil the beets or bake them in the peel until ready, cool and peel. Grate on a fine grater. If there is a lot of juice in the beetroot, squeeze it out, otherwise your salad will flow.

3. Step 3:

   

   Peel the raw carrots and grate them on a fine grater. If there is a lot of juice in the carrot, also squeeze it out of excess moisture. Carrots can be used not raw, but boiled or baked.

4. Step 4:

   

   Grate the cheese on a fine grater. What kind of cheese is suitable for this salad? Any — solid, semi-solid. The main thing is that it is delicious, high-quality, without milk fat substitutes. I have a regular Russian cheese.

5. Step 5:

   

   Wash dried apricots, prunes, dry. Cut dried apricots and prunes into small cubes. If the dried fruits are hard, then pre-steam. How to properly steam dried fruits? Rinse them well, fill them with hot water and leave for 10-15 minutes. Then drain the water and dry the dried fruits with paper towels.

6. Step 6:

   

   Wash and dry the raisins. If your raisins are very dry and hard, steam it as well as dried apricots with prunes.

7. Step 7:

   

   Chop the walnuts finely.

8. Step 8:

   

   Peel the garlic and chop it finely as well. You can take more garlic to your liking.

10. Step 9:

    

    In a bowl, combine grated carrots, raisins and 1-2 tablespoons of mayonnaise. If desired, add salt and pepper to the mass and mix.

11. Step 10:

    

    In another bowl, mix grated cheese, dried apricots, garlic and 1-2 tablespoons of mayonnaise.

12. Step 11:

    

    In the third bowl, combine the grated beetroot, prunes and a little mayonnaise. If desired, add salt and pepper. Mix everything thoroughly.

13. Step 12:

    

    In the cooking ring (Ø 14-16 cm), first put a layer of carrots with raisins and level. Do not put too much pressure on the carrot layer, otherwise the juice will stand out from it.

14. Step 13:

    

    Spread a layer of cheese with dried apricots on top and also tamp.

15. Step 14:

    

    Then a layer of beetroot with prunes.

16. Step 15:

    

    Sprinkle chopped walnuts on top of the salad. If desired, you can put the salad in the refrigerator for 30 minutes, but this is not necessary - after all, all the ingredients are grated on a fine grater and are already well soaked in mayonnaise. Moreover, it is not worth keeping the salad in the refrigerator for a long time - juice may stand out from the vegetables, which will have to be soaked with a napkin.

17. Step 16:

    

    Remove the ring before serving. Decorate the salad as desired. I decorated it with carrot slices, fresh herbs and nuts. Bon appetit!
