What is “Rose” salad made of?
To prepare it you need to prepare the following ingredients:
- champignons, two hundred grams, medium size,
- a couple of small onions,
- half a can, or a small can, of corn,
- a few potatoes
- one pack of potato chips, most likely you will need a large pack, preferably with bacon flavor, these will be the basis of the decoration,
- smoked chicken fillet,
- a little mayonnaise,
- vegetable oil, we will use it for frying,
- a small amount of salt and ground black pepper, and herbs.
How to prepare rose salad
Preparing mashed potatoes. A few small potatoes will be enough for this. Clean, cook, crush, ready.
Now let's move on to the mushrooms. As you know, mushrooms grow on the ground and absorb everything very well. Therefore, we make sure to wash them thoroughly. After this, we cut our mushrooms, do it lengthwise, into strips (no need to make them too thin), and put them in a frying pan.
Without wasting time, peel the onions. Doing this will make anyone a crybaby, but there are some great ways to avoid this, for example, you can wet a knife, or keep the bulbs in the refrigerator for a while. Finely chop the onion and add it to the mushrooms. In just a few minutes you will have a wonderful smell of frying mushrooms and onions in your kitchen. Add a little salt and pepper there. Then we wash a small bunch of greens under water, chop them finely and also throw them into the frying pan.
Cool the prepared mushrooms with onions and place them from the frying pan onto a wide plate. Apply mashed potatoes on top in an even layer. You need to cool it down before doing this. Lubricate with mayonnaise. Mayonnaise has a fairly strong taste, so you don’t need to add too much mayonnaise so that it doesn’t overwhelm the taste of the other ingredients.
In the meantime, let's get to the chicken fillet. Chop it finely. Then we place them on top of mushrooms, mashed potatoes and mayonnaise. Then again mayonnaise.
We continue to layer the salad. Open the sweet corn, drain the juice from the can and add a new layer of corn. Then apply a layer of puree again.
How to decorate a salad and make a rose from chips
The most interesting thing awaits us next. Open the chips. We select the most intact and interestingly shaped specimens. This is where you have to be artistic. The chips are very similar to rose petals, so we use them to lay out the flower. You should start from the center; here we use smaller chips. Next, we enlarge the flower using increasingly larger chip sizes.
If you are careful, you will certainly succeed. When the rose is laid out, the salad is ready. We put it in the refrigerator for a while. Serve slightly chilled.
This stunningly beautiful salad with pancakes looks so much like a bouquet of red roses! It is so solemn that it may well serve as a signature dish that guests will remember for a long time.
But, of course, this is a very tasty salad.
Salad Bouquet of roses
Required:
- 300 g – 3 medium potatoes
- 2 chicken eggs
- 90 g fresh sausage or salami
- 150 g pickled mushrooms
- 700 g – 3 medium beets
- 3 cloves garlic
- 5 pieces savory pancakes
- Salt to taste
- Mayonnaise
- A few sprigs of parsley
- Lettuce leaves
- Plate d 27cm
Preparation:
1. Boil the potatoes and grate them on a coarse grater. Potatoes shred better if they are well chilled. Boil the eggs and grate on a medium grater.

2. Cut mushrooms and sausage into cubes. I made a salad using shiitake mushrooms. Pickled mushrooms of this type contain a lot of liquid, so after slicing, place them in a sieve to drain.

3. Boil the beets until tender. Grind one in a blender or grate on a very fine grater. Grate the other two on a coarse grater and squeeze out excess juice or simply let drain on a sieve. Leave the beet pulp along with the juice; it will help color future roses. But if you are preparing the salad for future use, for example, the next day, then the juice can be drained. During this time, the pancakes will be colored and will not get soggy.
Grated beets
4. Add garlic squeezed through a press, mayonnaise and a pinch of salt to the coarsely grated beets. Stir and set aside for now. We'll need it at the very end.

5. Take the prepared pancakes and grease each one with beetroot paste. You need to lubricate with a thin layer. From this point on, the beet juice will begin to saturate and color the pancake with a rich color. By the way, if you wish, you can add garlic to the pulp. I didn't add it.

6. Roll the pancake into a tight roll and cut into equal pieces 1.5 cm thick. The roses are ready. Transfer them to a plate and leave until ready to serve.

Making salads is a real art. True, not every housewife owns it. Many people perceive such a dish as a mixture of certain ingredients, and nothing more. But in skillful hands, even the most ordinary salad can become a real table decoration. After all, it is not enough to simply collect the necessary components in one container. You also need to be able to present them correctly. The main secret lies in the design of the dish. By showing your imagination, you can make anything you want from familiar products. Take, for example, the Rose salad. There are several recipes for its preparation. It all depends on what products the housewife decides to turn into an original flower.
Beet rose
In almost every Russian family, one of the obligatory dishes on the holiday table is “herring under a fur coat.” If you take this recipe as a basis and add a little to it, you will get a “Rose” salad. And it is called that because the dish itself is decorated in the form of a spectacular lush flower. To give the finished product your own personality, you can also slightly change the recipe and use the following products:
- 3 potatoes;
- 1 carrot;
- 3 beets;
- 4 tablespoons each of sour cream and mayonnaise;
- 3 eggs;
- 1 onion;
- a sprig of fresh parsley;
- 150 grams of salted herring and pickled cucumbers.
Preparing the Rose salad is not at all difficult:
- Start by boiling potatoes, eggs, beets and carrots.
- At this time, you can work on the rest of the products. You need to finely chop the onion.
- Cut herring and cucumbers into cubes.
- Cooked products must first be cooled, and then cleaned and chopped in the same way. One beet should be left to decorate the dish.
- Pour all prepared ingredients into a deep bowl and mix.
- Season them with sour cream and mayonnaise, and then transfer the resulting mass in a heap onto a flat dish.
- Cut the remaining beets into thin longitudinal slices.
- Place them around the perimeter of the salad, imitating rose petals.
The finished dish must be placed in the refrigerator for a short time so that it can soak. After this, the original flower can be served, garnished with fresh parsley.
Rose from tomato
The Rose salad, made from fresh vegetables, also looks very impressive. The original recipe for its preparation requires the following ingredients:

- 30 grams of flour;
- 2 eggs;
- a pinch of soda;
- a little vegetable oil;
- cheese - 100 g;
- garlic;

The cooking process in this case consists of several stages:

- Add eggs, soda, flour to it and knead the dough.
- Place the resulting mass in a frying pan and fry it on both sides until golden brown.
- Place the prepared cake on a plate. It will be the basis of the future salad.
- In a separate bowl, combine grated cheese with mayonnaise and chopped garlic. Lightly coat the cake with this mixture.
- Cut the tomatoes into half rings.
- Place them on top of the cake and also lightly cover with mayonnaise mixture.
- Alternate layers to the desired height.
The result is an original design that resembles a scarlet rose.

Pancake roses
For the holiday table, one rose may not be enough. If desired, you can make a whole bouquet of them. For such a case, there is another very unusual salad “Rose”. A recipe with a photo will help novice housewives do everything right. In fact, this is also a “herring under a fur coat,” but with a very original decoration. You will need the following components:

On the table, this salad really looks like a gorgeous bouquet of flowers. It turns out not only tasty, but also very beautiful.
Housewives always try to prepare something unusual and surprising for the holiday. The “Rose” salad is just the option that will please both guests and family. There are many cooking options, but the most important thing is the presentation, not the ingredients.
A la “under a fur coat”
This recipe is somewhat different from the one that is used to being prepared in every second kitchen in Russia. The “Rose” salad in this case will be decorated differently, but the ingredients can be left the same. You will need:
- fatty lightly salted herring without seeds and giblets;
- a couple of boiled potatoes;
- onion;
- mayonnaise;
- boiled carrots;
- a couple of medium boiled beets.
Salt should be added solely to taste. It won’t take much time if you prepare all the ingredients in advance. The onion is cut into small cubes, then poured generously with mayonnaise and left to marinate for a while. At this point you can start preparing the remaining ingredients. Potatoes and carrots are cut into as small and symmetrical cubes as possible, one beet too. The second one will be needed for decoration. Since the “Rose” salad, the recipe for which is described, is similar to a “fur coat,” the decoration will be the main feature of the dish. The herring is also cut into the smallest cubes possible. All ingredients are mixed, including onions pickled in mayonnaise. The remaining beets are cut into thin slices. If the root crop is large, then you can use half rings. They are laid out in a salad, collecting the rosette: from the core to the edge. The larger the petals, the more open the flower appears. By the way, this option is also called “Black Rose” salad. Beets are very brown, almost black in color.
For seafood lovers
This option is suitable for those who prefer fish and seafood to meat. The “Rose” salad, the recipe for which will be described below, is assembled similarly to the previous one, but the ingredients are slightly different. So, the components:
- preserves or lightly salted spicy herring;
- pickled;
- mussels;
- shrimps;
- boiled beets (2-3 pieces, depending on size);
- salt to taste;
- mayonnaise;
- onion;
- greenery;
- (a pair of medium tubers).
The peculiarity of this salad is that it is very satisfying and does not require serving with any side dish or main dish. It can easily act as an independent dish. Everything is prepared very simply: the shrimp are boiled and cut in half, the squid, potatoes, mussels, herring and one beet are finely chopped. To avoid bitterness, the onion can be scalded with boiling water, then added to the prepared ingredients. Everything is mixed, the greens are chopped, seasoned with mayonnaise. The remaining beets are cut in the same way as in the previous recipe, then the rosette is collected. To make it more convenient to do this, you can lay out the salad in a slide. It is recommended to serve in portions.
Pancake abundance
This “Rose” salad will please guests not only in appearance, but will also surprise you with its taste and originality. Even the most demanding ones will like it. It is noteworthy that it is also a variety since they are part of it. You will need for cooking:
- boiled chicken fillet (breast, for example);
- chopped champignons, canned;
- hard cheese;
- pancakes are thin, but not sweet;
- boiled beets;
- boiled eggs (3-4 pieces);
- garlic (a couple of cloves to taste);
- crushed walnuts (a handful);
- greens (dill, parsley, basil);
- onions (small size);
- mayonnaise;
- salt to taste;
- Korean spicy carrots.
First of all, you need to fry the mushrooms with onions and a small amount of vegetable oil. This way they will turn out tastier and piquant. Chicken fillet, garlic, boiled eggs, walnuts, herbs are finely chopped and mixed in one container. The cheese and beets are grated, the garlic is squeezed out to form a paste. Add a little mayonnaise to this mass and let it brew. Korean carrots are cut in half so that they are not too long. After this, you should start preparing pancakes if you don’t have them ready-made on hand.
for salad
The process will not take as long as it might seem. The Rose salad, the recipe (with photo) for which we offer, does not have to be with homemade pancakes. Ready-made, store-bought semi-finished products are also quite suitable, but not sweet, thin, and easy to defrost. You can make them yourself if you have a simple set of products on hand:
- a glass of warm milk without foam;
- a glass of warm boiled water;
- a little more than a glass of flour (sifted);
- salt and a pinch of sugar;
- vegetable oil (2-3 small spoons);
- 2 chicken eggs.
The dough is kneaded in the usual way. It is undesirable for there to be lumps in it, so you need to mix more thoroughly and add the flour in small portions. Bake pancakes in a hot frying pan or pancake maker until cooked. They should be thin, but not torn.
Salad filling
Cooking will not take much time, but during this period the pancakes will have time to cool a little. All pre-prepared ingredients will be laid out in layers. Chicken, eggs, herbs, garlic, and nuts mixed into one mass are placed on the bottom of the plate. Lubricate everything liberally with mayonnaise. Cheese and beets are placed on top, but not all of it, just a certain amount. There is no need to lubricate with mayonnaise anymore. But Korean-style chopped carrots are placed on top. In order for the “Rose” salad, the photo of which is here, to be well soaked, it needs to be left in the refrigerator for several minutes (20-30). At this time, you can prepare the decoration. The rest of the cheese and beetroot mixture is spread over the pancakes in a thin layer. The thinner it is, the more pleasant the taste will be. The pancakes are rolled and then cut into small pieces. They are placed on the “Rose” salad as a decoration. Right before serving.
Vegetable abundance
Often women think about preparing light salads. And vegetable will come in handy in this case. Decorating it will not be so difficult if you master the technique of carving (skillful cutting of products). For example, a tomato can be stuffed with garlic, mayonnaise and pepper, cutting the fruit with a knife to create a neat flower.
