Step-by-step preparation of the original Turtle salad with champignons and chicken

In order for the “turtle” salad to be a success, you need to pay due attention not only to its preparation, but also to its design. For this we need a lot of greens, walnuts and imagination!

The preparatory stage of preparing a holiday salad

You need to start preparing the salad with chicken, as this will take time. So, first we wash the meat and remove all remaining fat deposits.
Place it in a saucepan, fill it with water until completely covered and put it on the stove.
After boiling, you need to pour out the water (if the meat is store-bought), fill the pan with a portion of fresh water and cook the chicken in it until soft, salting it in the process.
While the meat is getting ready, let’s work on the mushroom part of the salad. Wash the champignons to remove dirt, cut them into thin slices and fry them in a frying pan with heated oil until lightly browned.

We remove the rough husk from the onion and cut the juicy, sharp pulp into small (!) cubes.
To get rid of too pungent aroma, pour boiling water over the onion cubes, leave for 10 minutes, then strain.
Cut the boiled poultry meat into small strips, according to the original recipe.
Let's turn the cheese into crumbs using a grater with small holes.
Hard-boiled eggs should also be chopped, leaving the smaller half of the egg whole. It is not necessary to separate the yolks from the white part.

Assembling a layered salad with chicken and mushrooms

We cover a flat dish (it’s better to take something wider) with washed and dried lettuce leaves.
We form the first layer of minced meat, laying it out in the shape of an oval.
Top the sliced meat thickly with half the nut crumbs and cover with mayonnaise mesh.
Next comes the onion, followed by fried mushrooms. This layer and subsequent ones need to be made with a slightly smaller diameter so that the shape of our salad resembles a turtle shell.
Grease the mushrooms with mayonnaise and sprinkle with fine cheese crumbs.
The next layer is eggs. It is also advisable to thickly lubricate them with mayonnaise.
We make a “shell” from the remains of nut crumbs and cover it this time with a thin mayonnaise mesh.
From one of the elongated vertices of the oval we place the remaining half of the egg - this will be the head of our turtle. The eyes can be made from pieces of olives or black peppercorns, pressing them into the boiled protein. Instead of paws - halves of whole walnut kernels.

Take a toothpick and stick it into half of the apple, placing it cut side down.
We string olives onto a toothpick, and stick parsley sprigs into the hole of the last one - this will be a decorative palm tree. Salad ready!

In order for the layered salad “a la turtle tortilla” with mushrooms and chicken to fully reveal its taste, it needs to sit for at least half an hour.

The famous “Turtle” salad with smoked chicken and prunes

This version of an interesting snack is more juicy thanks to the apple. Smoked brisket gives it a piquancy, but you can, if desired, replace it with boiled fillet - it will also turn out tasty and bright!

Ingredients

Chicken fillet with smoked flavor – 200 g;
Hard-boiled eggs – 4 pcs.;
Sweet and sour apples – 2 medium fruits;
Small onion – 1 pc.;
Hard cheese (can be smoked) – 100 g;
Walnut kernels – 50 g;
Dried prunes – 50 g;
Mayonnaise – 150 g;
Small pickled cucumber – 1 pc.;
Lettuce leaves – 3-4 pcs.

How to make Turtle salad with prunes and smoked poultry

Cut the boiled eggs in half, separate the white and yolk parts, and grate them on a fine grater.
Use it to chop the cheese and apples separately.
Cut the onion into small cubes and pour boiling water over it, drain after 10 minutes.
We also pour hot water over the prunes, let them stand for a quarter of an hour, then drain the water and cut the fruit into small pieces.
Grind the nut kernels.
Cut the cucumber into 4 parts - these will be the paws.
We begin to assemble the salad by lining the dish with lettuce leaves. The first layer is proteins.
Place chicken cut into thin strips on top, sprinkle with onion cubes, and cover thickly with mayonnaise mesh.
Next, we form an apple layer of slightly smaller diameter and again add mayonnaise, only in a slightly smaller quantity than was used to cover the chicken.
Set aside a tablespoon of cheese crumbs and form the next layer from the rest. Place the yolks on it, gradually giving the dish the shape of a shell.
Now - prunes, mayonnaise, and at the end - nut crumbs laid out in the shape of a shell.
We sculpt the animal’s head from the remaining cheese mixed with half a teaspoon of mayonnaise, and place cucumber “legs” on the sides. A cute snack is ready!

Just a little hassle, a minimum of products - and a treat that is original in its form and content appears on the table. Turtle salad is made with mushrooms and chicken or dried fruits, that is, products that can be bought at any time of the year.

Turtle salad with chicken, walnuts and apples

Turtle salad is very light and tasty, you just need to use juicy apples. Making the salad will not take much time, and the result will surprise all guests.

Ingredients:

Chicken fillet 200 g
Large apples 3 pcs.
Cheese 250 g
Eggs 7 pcs.
Mayonnaise
Walnuts 100 g

Preparation:

Peel the apples and cut into strips.

To prevent the apples from starting to oxidize and darken, they must be seasoned with mayonnaise immediately after cutting.

Cut the cheese into slices and add a spoonful of mayonnaise. Separate the yolks from the whites. Cut the whites into halves and into large slices. Grate the yolks on a fine grater.

Lay out all the ingredients, dividing them in half:

The first layer is apples.
The second one is cheese.
The third layer of whites, yolks and mayonnaise on top. Then repeat the layers from the remaining half of the products.
The top layer is walnut halves, we put the shell out of them.

We make a turtle’s head from a whole egg, and use black peppercorns to attach the eyes, using mayonnaise.

How to prepare Turtle salad

1. First, let's deal with those products that require preliminary preparation. Let the eggs boil. We will need them hard-boiled and chilled. In this salad, layers of whites and yolks are laid out separately. And the very bottom layer is just the squirrels. So, three whites on a fine grater and form them into an oval on a plate. Cover the layer with a thin layer of mayonnaise.

2. The chicken also needs to be pre-cooked and cooled. Next, you need to free it from the bones and cut it into small cubes. Carefully place the second layer on top of the egg whites with mayonnaise, add salt, and maybe sprinkle with a small amount of freshly ground black pepper. Thinly coat with mayonnaise.

3. Peel the onions and cut into small cubes. To remove the bitterness, pour boiling water over it (it’s easiest to do this in a colander). Wait until the water has completely drained and carefully lay out the onions in a third layer. Cover with mayonnaise. You can take sweet Crimean onions, like mine, in which case the onions are laid out on the chicken without pre-processing.

4. Peel the apple; you don’t have to cut out the core with the seeds, because we grate the apple on a coarse grater and you can simply leave all the excess. Sweet and sour apples, such as Semerenko or Idared, are suitable for the Turtle salad. Keeping the general oval shape, place the apple on the onion and a little mayonnaise on top.

6. Fifth layer - cheese. Grind it on a fine grater and place it on top of the apple and mayonnaise. It is better to take Russian cheese or other varieties with a neutral taste - this way it will be better combined with other products without dominating the taste.

7. Place finely grated egg yolks on top of the cheese and apply a fine mesh of mayonnaise. Decorate the salad by giving it a turtle look. Place halves of walnuts on top in the form of a turtle shell, make paws from the white of an egg, a head from half a yolk, a mouth from a tomato, eyes from black peppercorns, eyelashes from sprigs of dill. Also make a clearing from finely chopped dill.

Such a bright and tasty treat will become one of the central dishes of your holiday table!

Turtle salad is a wonderful decoration for any holiday table. It got its name thanks to the walnuts that are laid out on top in the shape of a turtle shell. This dish cooks quite quickly and is very tasty. It is also suitable for children's menus.

Recipe 1: turtle salad with prunes (step-by-step photos)

Turtle salad is great not only for a festive or traditional everyday table, but is also a wonderful solution for a children's party, because its design will impress and delight little guests and they will definitely want to eat it. In this case, it is better to replace mayonnaise with sour cream. The turtle salad will be more tender and will be healthy and safe for the child’s body.

4 eggs,
1 chicken breast or 400-500 gr. red fish,
100 gr. cheese,
Apple,
Mayonnaise,
Nuts,
Greenery,
Prunes.

Turtle salad is made in layers, and all layers, except nuts, are repeated 2 times. The first layer consists of egg whites. Therefore, first we need to boil the eggs, peel them, cut half of one lengthwise and place it on an oval dish - this will be the turtle’s head. In the remaining eggs, separate the whites from the yolks. Grate the white and place on a plate in the shape of an oval. Spread with mayonnaise.

The next layer is chopped green or onion. You can first pour boiling water over the onion for a couple of minutes to prevent it from becoming bitter.

Cut boiled chicken or red fish into cubes. Place the next layer on a plate and spread with mayonnaise.

Mash the yolk into crumbs and make a mayonnaise mesh.

Grate the apples, lay out and coat with mayonnaise.

Grate the cheese on a fine grater and spread with a mayonnaise mesh.

Now we repeat everything in the same order. We decorate the turtle salad: the shell is made of walnuts, we insert prune eyes into the slits in the white, the tongue and nostrils will be made of walnut pieces. Place parsley sprigs around the turtle lettuce to create a green clearing.
