- Place a layer of meat on a plate of a suitable size, form it into a conventional silhouette of a rooster and cover with a thin mayonnaise mesh. Next, arrange the layers in the following order: tomatoes + pineapples + pickled cucumbers + corn. Soak each tier with mayonnaise. Top tightly with egg shavings. Make a beard for the rooster from half a cherry, and wings, a tail and a comb from colored peppers. Keep the salad in the refrigerator for a couple of hours to soak, then serve on the holiday table.
Preparing ingredients for salad.
Wash the chicken meat thoroughly under running water and dry off excess moisture with a paper towel. Place the meat in a container, add spices, salt, and pepper.
Add half a teaspoon of chicken seasoning. Squeeze lemon juice from half the fruit, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and crushed garlic. Season chicken meat with sauce. Place the container with meat in the refrigerator.
After preparing the croutons, when the meat is slightly soaked in the marinade, remove from the cold, dry from moisture and fry in a frying pan for 6-8 minutes on each side. Place the prepared pieces on a dish and cover with a lid for 15 minutes. This will keep the meat juicy.
Decoration for salads for the New Year 2020 of the Fiery Red Rooster - the most current ideas
All New Year's salad recipes with photos are recommended to be made in advance and be sure to decorate with traditional winter paraphernalia, festive elements and symbols of the coming year. According to eastern horoscopes, the coming 2020 is patronized by the Red Fire Rooster, which means that simple and tasty salads prepared with chicken, vegetables, crackers, fish or smoked meat will definitely need to be decorated with an image or figurine of a bright, cocky bird.
On vegetable salads without mayonnaise, you can simply “plant” several small chickens made from eggs, olives and carrots.
Olivier and any other traditional snacks should be placed on a dish in the shape of a chicken, and the scallop, tail and wings should be created from Korean carrots or thin bell pepper shavings.
In addition, it is quite appropriate to show your imagination and come up with your own, extraordinary and spectacular New Year's decor, which will turn the simplest, most familiar dish into an exclusive, exquisite delicacy that can attract the attention of even the most sophisticated and picky gourmets who come to visit 2020.
Preparing croutons for salad.
Cut the crusts off the pieces of bread and cut the flesh into medium cubes. Heat a frying pan and add olive or sunflower oil. Add the whole garlic cloves.
Fry the garlic cloves, stirring, for about 3 minutes. The garlic cloves will give off their smell to the oil and will not burn, and the croutons will absorb the light taste and aroma of garlic during frying.
After this, add croutons and fry for about 6-8 minutes until golden brown, after croutons add salt to your taste. Remove the croutons from the stove and let them cool.
Cold appetizers.

Making salad sauce.
A tasty and simple salad sauce can be easily made with a mayonnaise base. It should turn out to be somewhat more fluid than the consistency of mayonnaise.
In this regard, add a little sour cream or kefir at your discretion, or replace the ingredient with milk. In a glass, mix soy sauce, crushed clove of garlic, squeezed juice from half a lemon, sour cream, beat the contents thoroughly with a mixer. To add a piquant taste, you can add anchovy meat to the sauce.
If the meat of this fish cannot be found, it is not recommended to replace it with all kinds of sprat or tuna. These are completely different fish and the desired result cannot be achieved with a replacement; on the contrary, the taste characteristics of the salad will be spoiled.
