Useful tips

If you are making a salad with pickled onions, drain the marinade and squeeze the onions.
Don't be afraid to experiment with layers, lay them out in different sequences or repeat.
Try to buy only fresh meat, use frozen foods or semi-finished products less often. When choosing meat, pay attention to its structure, color and smell.
To give the meat a subtle aroma, add a few peppercorns and a bay leaf during cooking.
To make the dish tender, cut all components as thinly as possible.
For dressing, I recommend using homemade mayonnaise rather than store-bought mayonnaise. You can replace it with sour cream.
If you want the edges of the salad to be smooth, use a specialized culinary ring, or cutter. It is made of plastic or metal.
Garnish with parsley or dill. If you want to add some color, use grated marble cheese.
Do not serve the dish immediately after cooking; let it sit for a while in the refrigerator. Use a wide, flat plate to serve.

The classic snack “Men's Tears” includes pickled onions. It is cut into large rings and immersed in a mixture of vinegar, sugar, salt and ground black pepper diluted with water. The more concentrated the solution, the spicier the snack will be. But still, you should not use a vinegar solution of more than 3% concentration.
In a hot marinade, onions become ready faster, but acquire a specific flavor, so it is better to marinate them in a cool solution.
The ingredients for the “Male Tears” salad are expensive, but you shouldn’t skimp on them. If you use stale meat or low-quality cheese, this will be noticeable, and even spicy ingredients and seasonings will not mask their dubious taste and unpleasant aroma.
