The Pomegranate Bracelet salad is known to many. Its main feature is the shape that is obtained after cooking the dish. The fact is that traditionally the Garnet bracelet is made in the form of a circle with a hole in the middle, thereby resembling a bracelet. The top part of the dish is decorated with pomegranate seeds, making it more appetizing and unusual.

You can prepare such a salad with the addition of various products, which is why its taste will constantly change. For example, you can make a dish with sausage, boiled or smoked meat, and also add prunes, nuts, mushrooms and other ingredients that will perfectly highlight the taste of the main products, as well as make the salad more refined and nutritious.

Classic recipe for puff salad Pomegranate bracelet with chicken

The traditional method of preparing the dish is considered the most common. The taste of this salad is delicate and quite harmonious. And if it stands for a couple of hours before serving, the food will be perfectly soaked and become juicier. Preparing a classic version of the dish is simple and quick, especially if you prepare all the vegetables in advance.

Components:

• 500 grams of chicken meat (it is better to choose fillet);
• 3 medium beets;
• one medium-sized pomegranate;
• 3 potatoes and chicken eggs;
• 2 carrots;
• medium bulb;
• a handful of nuts (walnuts);
• a pair of bay leaves;
• 250 grams of mayonnaise (you can make it yourself).

How to cook a dish

Cook the chicken meat with bay leaf and salt until fully cooked - on average this will take 30 minutes. Then we disassemble the meat into thin fibers or cut into cubes, then lightly fry in oil until golden brown. After it appears, add finely chopped onion to the pan. As soon as it becomes soft, you can turn off the stove.

It is better to boil beets, carrots, eggs and potatoes in advance, cool and peel them. Then the components should be rubbed using a fine grater.

Now you can start assembling the salad: take a large flat plate and place a glass in the center (it should be tall). After this, we lay the products in layers:

• potato;
• carrot;
• chicken with onions;
• eggs;
• chopped walnuts;
• beet.

All layers need to be lightly coated with mayonnaise and salted (there is no need to salt the meat). The top of the salad should be thoroughly greased with mayonnaise, on top of which sprinkle pomegranate seeds. If the salad turns out uneven, you can give it a neat shape using a knife. It is recommended to put the finished dish in the cold for a short time so that the layers are soaked - then the classic pomegranate bracelet with chicken will turn out especially tender and tasty.

How to prepare a salad appetizer “pomegranate bracelet” step by step

We start preparing the salad by boiling beets, carrots, potatoes and eggs

In order for the boiled potatoes to turn out not falling apart, but with an intact structure, we suggest you boil them in accordance with the advice of our chef.

How to properly boil potatoes in their jackets (video lesson)

We peel and chop the boiled vegetables and eggs using a grater with large knives - each component in a separate plate.

We pay special attention to onions

• Peel the onion, cut into thin half rings, which are then divided in half. Cutting onions is also a skill, so we also offer a master class from the chef.

How to cut onions into half rings (video master class)

• Fry the chopped onion in a saucepan with 1 tbsp. vegetable oil.

Now let's get to the chicken

Boil a small piece of chicken (it can be a fillet or a thigh) in salted water, dry it, cut it into thin strips and also fry it in a saucepan.

Instead of boiled chicken, you can use smoked chicken in the recipe. Then disassemble it into strips, but do not fry it!

• Fry the walnuts a little in a dry frying pan and crush them with a rolling pin on the table to get large crumbs.

Preparing dressing for salad appetizer “Malachite Bracelet”

To do this, combine the garlic passed through a garlic press with a fine grid with mayonnaise, mix and place our garlic sauce in a food-grade plastic bag.

It’s good if you also make the mayonnaise sauce yourself.

How to make mayonnaise at home (video from the chef)

All ingredients are prepared, now we assemble them into a single salad composition

To do this, take a flat serving dish and place a glass in its center. To enhance the appearance of this gorgeous salad, choose a large-diameter dish and place a half-liter jar in the center.

Grease the sides of the jar (or glass) with vegetable oil (for better glide when removing the glass from the center of the salad composition). We will lay out all the layers around the glass, placing them tightly against the walls of the glass.

Cut off a corner (5 mm) of the bag filled with dressing so that you can draw a mayonnaise mesh on each layer by squeezing.

Now we begin to form our multi-layer salad:

• The first layer (bottom) is potatoes (add some salt);
• The second is half the prepared volume of beets;
• The third is carrots;
• Fourth – chopped nuts;
• Fifth – half cut chicken;
• Sixth – fried onions;
• Seventh – grated eggs (add some salt);
• The eighth is the second half of cutting the chicken;
• The ninth (top) is beets (you can mix it with a small amount of mayonnaise), and draw a grid on top.

We select the seeds from two pomegranates and sprinkle them thickly on the surface and sides of our multi-layered miracle. We leave a little grain on the inner surface of the multilayer structure. Carefully remove the glass (or jar) and carefully lay out the layers of grains from the inside.

Place the finished dish in the refrigerator to soak for at least 1 hour. Bon appetit!

Smoked chicken recipe

Pomegranate bracelet cooked with smoked chicken turns out just as good. Even gourmets will easily like this dish, since the meat in it stands out perfectly and also complements the other ingredients well.

Products:

• medium garnet;
• 200 grams of smoked chicken;
• 2 pieces each of potatoes, beets and carrots;
• onion (preferably red);
• 2 eggs;
• a little oil for frying;
• salt with mayonnaise.

Cooking procedure

To prepare the dish as quickly as possible, eggs and vegetables should be boiled in advance and allowed to cool completely so that they are easy to peel.

We separate the smoked meat from the bone, and then chop it as finely as possible. To make the finished dish more tender, it is recommended to remove the skin from the chicken.

Chop the onion, put it in a frying pan and fry in oil until soft.

Grate all the vegetables one by one (if desired, you can chop them very finely, but this takes more time).

Peel the boiled eggs and finely chop them.

Now all that remains is to assemble the salad: take a flat plate and place a glass on it. Then lay out the potatoes, add a little salt, sprinkle with pepper if desired and grease with mayonnaise.

Attention! There is no need to compact the layers too much, otherwise the salad will not be soaked well.

The next layer is fried onions and smoked chicken. They also need to be greased a little with mayonnaise.

Next come carrots, eggs and beets, which you need to remember to add salt and sprinkle with mayonnaise. It is worth noting that you can use any amount of sauce, depending on your preferences.

Trim the finished dish with a knife to make an even circle, then sprinkle it with pomegranate seeds. To prevent them from crumbling, the last layer must be generously greased with mayonnaise.

In 2 hours, the tender and satisfying salad will be ready. It can be served either on its own or with a side dish.

Recipe 5: how to prepare Pomegranate bracelet salad with cheese

• Chicken fillet – 1 pc.
• Salt - to taste
• Onions – 1 pc.
• Vinegar – ¼ tsp.
• Vegetable oil – 0.5 tsp.
• Potatoes – 2 pcs.
• Chicken egg – 4 pcs.
• Hard cheese – 100 g
• Mayonnaise - to taste
• Pomegranate – 0.5 pcs.

Before we start collecting the salad, we need to prepare all the necessary products. First, boil the chicken breast until done. The water in which we will cook it needs to be salted a little. Then boil the potatoes and eggs.

When the breast is ready, remove it from the water and cut it into small pieces. The salad dish should be flat. Place a narrow glass or shot glass in the center of the dish. Shredded chicken is evenly laid out in the first layer.

Now take the onion, peel and finely chop. Add vinegar and vegetable oil to the onion and leave for 5 minutes so that the onion marinates a little. You can do the onion process at the very beginning if you want it to marinate for a long time. Now the prepared onion should be placed in the next layer on the meat.

Next, you need to grate the boiled potatoes. And, distributing it evenly, lay it out in a third layer.

The potato layer should be greased with mayonnaise.

Next come boiled eggs, grated on a fine grater. We spread them in a fourth layer and gently press them down with a spoon so that the salad holds its shape well. And again, not a lot of mayonnaise.

The top layer will be hard cheese, also grated on a fine grater. Carefully lay it out and grease it back with a little mayonnaise, slightly pressing it with a spoon so that the shape of the salad is beautiful.

Carefully lay it out and grease it back with a little mayonnaise, slightly pressing it with a spoon so that the shape of the salad is beautiful.

The pomegranate should be peeled and the seeds removed from half the pomegranate. Sprinkle the salad generously with pomegranate seeds. Serve the Pomegranate Bracelet salad to the table!

Cut the eggs and onion as finely as possible. You can fry the onion a little until soft.

“Pomegranate bracelet” with mushrooms, nuts and cheese

One of the original recipes that differs from classic ones is a dish with mushrooms. This one small nuance gives the treat a special taste, piquancy and richness. If you like mushroom recipes, then this option will certainly suit your taste. You can also, if you wish, add a handful of walnuts or pine nuts to it, which will complement and diversify the taste of the dish.

Ingredients:

• potatoes - 300 pcs
• mayonnaise - 150 ml

Let's start by preparing the mushrooms. They must be washed well and cut into small pieces. Now we transfer them to a frying pan, add salt, and fry without adding vegetable oil until all the moisture has evaporated. As soon as the moisture has evaporated, add a little oil and fry until cooked.

First boil the chicken fillet until tender, let it cool, and cut into small cubes. Peel the onion and chop finely. Boil the potatoes in their skins until tender, cool, and peel. Grate potatoes and cheese.

Finely chop the walnuts with a knife. Three garlic on a fine grater or put through a press. Mix mayonnaise with garlic. We clean the pomegranate and separate it into grains.

Place lettuce leaves on a wide serving platter. We place a glass in the middle around which we will form our salad.

Place the potatoes in the first layer and compact them well with a spatula. Sprinkle a layer of onion on top and grease with garlic-mayonnaise sauce.

Place chicken fillet on top and grease. Now we lay out the carrots in Korean.

Place fried champignons on top of the carrots, sprinkle everything with walnuts, and cover.

Sprinkle the next layer with grated cheese and grease with mayonnaise sauce. Decorate the surface with pomegranate seeds. Place the salad in the refrigerator for 3-4 hours so that it takes shape and soaks. Before serving, remove the glass and serve.

Beef recipe

Pomegranate bracelet, where the main ingredient is beef, is considered a delicious puff salad that is easy to prepare and turns out incredibly juicy and tender. To make the salad soft, the beef needs to be cooked for a long time so that it begins to break down into fibers.

Products:

• 250 grams of boiled beef;
• one medium-sized beet;
• one carrot;
• 2 eggs;
• 2 potato tubers;
• bulb;
• mayonnaise with salt;

Cooking process

Boil eggs and vegetables, cool and peel. Cut the beef into small pieces and place it on a plate as the first layer (you must first place a jar in the middle of it). Cover the meat with a mesh of mayonnaise.

The second layer is grated carrots, which should be salted a little and covered with a mesh of mayonnaise.

The third layer is grated potatoes, which also need to be salted and coated with sauce. Then comes the grated egg (it is also slightly salted and covered with a mesh of mayonnaise).

The fifth layer is grated beets. It also needs to be salted and covered with a layer of mayonnaise. All that remains is to sprinkle the salad with pomegranate seeds and put it in a cool place for a couple of hours.

Salad “Pomegranate bracelet” with beef tongue and walnuts

When new ingredients are added, the classic recipe takes on a completely different “sound.” Add boiled tongue and pine nuts to a salad with pomegranate - and your guests will enjoy the result greatly.

Ingredients:

• 2 grenades
• 2 beets
• 1 beef tongue
• 2 carrots
• 70 g pine nuts
• 5 chicken eggs
• 5 potato tubers
• 600 ml mayonnaise

The tongue takes quite a long time to cook (about 2 hours), so it is better to boil it in advance and let it cool. Then cut it into small pieces.

Boil eggs and vegetables until tender, let cool, peel, and grate on a coarse grater. Place a glass or bottle in the center of the dish. We lay out all the ingredients in layers, coating each of them.

Put the potatoes in first and add a little salt. Then half a tongue, carrots, beets, nuts, remaining tongue, egg, pomegranate. Now put the dish in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours, after which we serve.

• 4 eggs;
• 2 small beets;
• 100 grams of walnuts;

“Pomegranate bracelet” with chicken and prunes

This recipe will greatly please fans of the chicken-prune combination. The option with prunes allows you to prepare a dish with a slight sweet and sour flavor that will not leave anyone indifferent.

Ingredients:

• 1 medium beet
• 2 medium carrots
• 2 medium potatoes
• 200 g chicken fillet
• 100 g pitted prunes
• A handful of shelled walnuts
• 3 chicken eggs
• 1 medium sized pomegranate
• Mayonnaise to taste
• Salt to taste
• Ground black pepper to taste

Cooking:

First, boil the vegetables in their jackets. They must be allowed to cool completely, since all salad components must be at room temperature. Then we peel them and chop them individually on a coarse grater.

We wash the chicken fillet under running water and set it to boil in salted water. This will take about 40 minutes. Cool the finished meat and cut into small pieces.

Boil the eggs hard (about 10 minutes), let them cool, then chop finely. Dry the walnuts in a dry frying pan for about 5 minutes, grind them with a knife or blender (not to the point of flour!).

Now let's take care of the prunes. To make it soft and juicy, it needs to be steamed in hot water for about 10 minutes. Then rinse well under running water, dry with a towel and cut into strips.

Wash the pomegranate and cut off the top. Now we make vertical cuts in those places where the grains are separated by film. You will get 4-6 cuts. Now we insert the knife into the middle, where there are no grains, and scroll it in a circle. The pomegranate will begin to open on its own, you can help with your hands. Pour the grains into a separate bowl; we will need them for decoration.

We will form it in the form of a bracelet, so we need a wide round dish. Place a glass in the middle. We will form a salad around it so that it looks like a bracelet.

So, since our dish will come out in layers, do not forget to grease each level with a small amount of mayonnaise, leveling it with a tablespoon, and also sprinkle with a small amount of salt and ground black pepper to taste.

First of all, lay out the potatoes. Then, beets with nuts. The third layer will be shredded chicken fillet. Next, add finely chopped prunes. The penultimate layer is carrots, and at the end – chopped eggs. Be sure to coat them with mayonnaise and only then begin to decorate the salad with pomegranate seeds.

Place the finished “bracelet” in the refrigerator to steep for 2–3 hours. I don’t recommend serving it to the dinner table right away, as it won’t have time to soak in and the layers will turn out a little dry.
