New Year's salad "Mouse" 🐭: the recipe can be done even by a child or a bachelor!

I always decorate a salad for the New Year as a symbol of the coming year. It's fun and makes the holiday table more themed. 2020 is the year of the White Mouse (Rat), and it will be the easiest to make. Even if it seems to you that everything is completely bad with food styling, then this recipe is one hundred percent within the power of not only any housewife, but even a child or a bachelor. The salad itself consists of familiar and hearty foods, it is ideal for any alcoholic beverages.

Prepare all the food you need. Rinse the carrots under running water with a hard kitchen sponge. Boil until tender; it will take about 15-20 minutes.

Boil the eggs. Keep them in boiling water for no longer than 10 minutes. Then cool in cold water, peel, separate the whites from the yolks.

Peel the carrots, peel the processed cheese from the packaging. Grate these items on a coarse grater and place in a deep, comfortable bowl.

Separate the chicken meat from the skin and bones. Then cut into small cubes. Add smoked chicken, canned peas, and grated yolk to the bowl with the other ingredients.

Pepper the salad. You can add salt to taste if desired. Season the dish with quality mayonnaise from a trusted manufacturer. Mix well.

Transfer the salad to a deep bowl and smooth the top with the back of a spoon.

Grate the protein on a fine mesh grater and lay on top.

Cut out small circles from two slices of ham, fold them in a cone and stick them on top - these will be the ears. Place the nose and eyes a little lower, they can be made from anything - olives, olives, the same green peas, etc. will do. I found pickled mushrooms in my refrigerator for this. A mustache can be made from fresh dill sprigs.

Cover the salad with cling film and start preparing other dishes. There are no ingredients in the composition that can let the juice out, so you can prepare and fill it in advance.
