Another original, beautiful and delicious salad for the festive table. It looks very elegant and even solemn. There are several “caps” on the site, but they have a different composition and a different design.
Boil the potatoes, eggs and fillets. I cook the fillet with seasonings (smoked paprika, dried garlic and salt with spices), leave it to cool in the broth. Peel the onion, boiled eggs and potatoes.
Cut into cubes fillets, potatoes, eggs (one yolk to set aside), cucumbers, if I like gherkins, then in circles, half of the onion – finely. Grate the cheese on a fine grater, cut the pepper into small strips.
Season the salad with mayonnaise (keep in mind that the ingredients in it are almost all not juicy), mix. Put it in a bowl, which will help form the dome of the cap. Tamp well and transfer to a platter, like this.
Sprinkle the salad with strips of pepper on top. Mash the yolk with a fork, add a little mayonnaise and grated cheese and form a ball. Roll it in cheese.
Put the finished ball on top of the “cap”, sprinkle the edges with cheese. You can decorate with any greens, I have a couple of rosemary leaves. Thanks to Angelica for the recipe idea.
