150gprunes
70ghard cheese
50gwalnuts
2eggs
1apple
70gmayonnaise
Instructions
Precook chicken fillet. Boil chicken breast in boiling salted water for 20 minutes. You can add a bay leaf and black peppercorns to add some extra flavor. Let the chicken cool down before shredding it with hands or cutting it into small cubes.
Cook hard-boiled eggs. I have a detailed guide on how you can boil perfect eggs; just follow the link. Cut them into small cubes, too.
Cut dried prunes into the smallest pieces you can. If they are too dried, then let them sit in hot boiled water for 10 minutes. Grind walnuts in a blender to pieces of the medium size.
Peel the apple, cut out the kernels. Grate hard cheese and the apple using the same size of the grater.
When you have got all the ingredients ready, let form our salad. Take a flat plate and place the ring mold. The first layer to go will be the chicken fillet. Smear it with the mayo.
The next one is the pieces of chopped dried prunes. Finish the layer by topping it with mayonnaise.
Layer chopped eggs and mayo next.
Evenly spread grated apple and cover it with a thin layer of mayo.
Spread evenly grated cheese and add the final layer of mayo.
Garnish your layered salad with ground walnuts. Leave the salad in the fridge for an hour. The mayo between the layers will soak and help to incorporate all the flavors into one smooth flavor. Enjoy your meal!
