The sequence of layers and their variations
Having prepared all the necessary components, we begin to lay them on top of each other. There can be many options for the arrangement of layers, let's consider two of them.
Option I:
- Chicken. Mayonnaise.
- Champignons mixed with onions.
- Carrot. Lubricate with mayonnaise.

Salad decoration
Having finished the main part, we move on to decorating the finished dish. As a background, the salad can be sprinkled with grated yolk or finely chopped dill. We will place improvised flowers on it. Take a sheet (before this, it is advisable that it be in the refrigerator, otherwise the cheese will be too soft and brittle) and roll it up into a ball. Place a piece of carrot in the center of the flower. We make the stem from green onions or dill. You can place dill along the edge of the plate.
As soon as the decoration is finished, you must immediately put the dish in the refrigerator, otherwise the flowers will lose their shape and become flat. It is advisable to eat the salad after a couple of hours, when all the layers are saturated and acquire their own special taste.
Calla lilies salad, the recipe for which we reviewed, is a classic. And it is prepared on the basis of chicken fillet. By replacing meat with seafood, we will essentially get a completely new salad that will have a completely different taste. We recommend trying both options and deciding which one you like best.

Calla lilies salad, the step-by-step preparation recipe for which is described above, is practically no different from the version of the same salad, but with seafood.
- Shrimps are washed and boiled in salted water with seasonings. Then they are peeled and finely chopped.
- Eggs and carrots are boiled and finely chopped.
- Mushrooms and onions are overcooked.
- Surimi, onions, and pineapples are also cut into small pieces.

The layers in the Calla Lilies salad with shrimp are laid out in the following sequence:
- Shrimp with crab sticks. Mayonnaise.
- Mushrooms with onions.
- Carrot. Mayonnaise.
- Pineapples. Mayonnaise.
The salad is also decorated with a slice of cheese folded into a cone, a tongue-shaped carrot and an onion - like a flower stem.
Salad "Callies", the recipe for which is based on seafood, differs from the classic one in the flavor shades given to it by shrimp and surimi. It is in no way inferior to chicken salad and will become an exquisite dish that your guests will appreciate.
- If you use fresh mushrooms, you need to take twice as many as indicated in the recipe, since they will be almost doubled during cooking. And, accordingly, first, fresh mushrooms need to be stewed for some time (about 10 minutes) and then fried. When frying, you can also add some Provençal herbs, this will give the mushrooms a piquant flavor.
- You can replace canned pineapples with fresh ones, then the taste will be more delicate.
- You can not fry the onion, but scald it with boiling water and marinate a little (1 tablespoon of 9% vinegar in half a glass of water). Marinate for 10-15 minutes.
- Before laying out the frying, you need to let the oil drain, otherwise the salad may “float”.
- You can use both peeled and unpeeled shrimp. There isn't much difference.
Step 1: Prepare the ingredients.
Wash the carrots thoroughly under running water, peel them with a knife and place them in a saucepan. Pour water into it (about half), put the pan on the fire and cook until the carrots are fully cooked. We check readiness by piercing it with a knife. If it cuts easily, the carrots are ready. While the carrots are cooking, peel the onion, wash it and chop it as finely as possible. The procedure is tearful, but very important. The smaller you chop, the better. Place the canned mushrooms in a colander and rinse them very thoroughly under running water. We do not touch small mushrooms, but it is advisable to cut large caps into two or four parts with a knife. Next, take a frying pan, pour vegetable oil into it and put it on fire. As soon as the pan heats up, add chopped onions and about 100-120 grams of canned mushrooms.
Fry until the onion darkens (5-7 minutes). Remove the frying pan from the heat. By this time, the carrots should have already been cooked, so take them out of the pan, cool them a little (so you can pick them up with your hands) and cut them into thin strips. Leave three thin slices of carrots for decoration. Boil three eggs in the saucepan where the carrots were cooked “hard-boiled” (about 10 minutes), remove the shells as soon as they are cooked, and also cut into cubes as small as possible. 
Cut the boiled chicken fillet into cubes approximately 0.5 x 0.5 cm. Grate the hard cheese on a fine grater. Wash and finely chop the dill, leaving three sprigs for decoration. Step 2: “assemble” the salad.
Place the ingredients in the salad bowl in this order. Place mushrooms fried with onions on the very bottom and spread mayonnaise on top. Then, chopped chicken fillet, mayonnaise again. Pineapple slices, mayonnaise. Grated cheese, mayonnaise. Chopped, boiled carrots - mayonnaise. Chopped eggs, mayonnaise. Sprinkle chopped dill on top. Step 3: serve.
Calla lilies salad is almost ready, all that remains is to decorate it. We take our layers of processed cheese and roll them up with calla lilies (balls), insert a slice of chopped carrot into each calla lily and decorate with sprigs of dill and green onion feathers. Cool the finished Calla salad in the refrigerator (15-20 minutes) and serve. Bon appetit! You can use any type of cheese as hard cheese.
To make it easier to peel boiled eggs, simply cool them from hot water into cold water.
Some types of canned mushrooms require very thorough rinsing under running water, for example boletus.
