How to make a salad "Cunning and Love"
First we prepare all the ingredients. We cut the boiled beef into small cubes - about 0.5 cm each. Pickled cucumbers are also cut into small cubes.
Peel the onion, rinse and finely chop. If you don’t have sweet salad onions, pour boiling water over it and let it cool - this way the onion will not be too bitter. Peel the potatoes and cut them in the same way.
We tilt the canned beans into a colander so that the glass is excess liquid.
Wash and dry the tomato.
Cut the tomato in the same small cubes as the rest of the ingredients. But we use only the dense part, and remove the pulp with seeds.
We form the salad using the culinary ring, lay the salad in layers.
Set the ring in the center of a flat plate, lightly grease inside with mayonnaise.
Spread a layer of beef, grease with mayonnaise.
Next, put onions, grease with mayonnaise.
We spread the beans, grease with mayonnaise.
Then we put pickled cucumbers, grease with mayonnaise.
Next - a layer of potatoes, gently crush the layers. Lubricate with mayonnaise.
Spread a layer of tomatoes. Pieces of tomatoes should cover the entire surface of the salad, i.e. the top of the salad should be completely red.
We cut the olives lengthwise into 4-6 parts. From the slices of olives spread the “black heart”.
Carefully remove the ring.
Salad "Cunning and Love" can immediately be served on the table.
