“Obzhorka” salad with beef recipe with photos step by step
How to prepare “Obzhorka” salad with beef
- Boil the meat until fully cooked in salted water. Then cool and cut into strips or separate into fibers by hand.
- Having gotten rid of the husks, chop the onion into thin half rings.
- Cut the peeled carrots into thin strips. If you have a special Korean carrot grater, you can use it.
- In a clean frying pan, heat 1 tbsp. a spoonful of oil, then add the onion and fry over medium heat, stirring. There is no need to bring the thin half rings to darkening and deep frying: we need to get a soft, translucent onion with a light golden tint. This will take approximately 3-5 minutes.
- In a separate frying pan, heat 2 tbsp. spoons of oil and fry the carrots over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes. Keep in mind that the carrots in the salad should not be too soft!
- Remove the cucumbers from the marinade, if necessary, peel the thick peel, and then cut into thin and long strips (length about 3-4 cm, thickness - 1-2 mm).
- Now all that remains is to gather the prepared ingredients together. To do this, place meat, cucumbers, as well as onion half rings and carrot shavings that have cooled to room temperature in a deep salad bowl. Salt, pepper and season the “Obzhorka” with mayonnaise mixed with garlic cloves, previously peeled and passed through a press. We recommend using it instead of store-bought - this way the finished dish will be no less tasty and without chemical additives!
- Let “Obzhorka” brew for a while before serving so that all components of the dish are thoroughly soaked in mayonnaise. Serve, garnishing each serving with a sprig of fresh parsley.

Recipe for “Obzhorka” salad with boiled pork. The classic version of this salad includes products such as: carrots, onions, pickled cucumber and any meat. In our version, boiled pork meat and a jar of pickled champignons are added. The salad is seasoned with mayonnaise, fresh herbs and ground black pepper. The salad of this composition of products turns out to be nourishing, interesting and varied in taste. The “Obzhorka” salad can be served not only on a festive table, it is also great for an everyday family dinner.
Required ingredients:
- 350 g boiled pork;
- 1 – 2 onions;
- 300 g carrots;
- 1 – 2 pickled cucumbers;
- 2 – 3 tbsp. spoons of vegetable oil;
- 200 – 300 g marinated champignons (optional);
- 2 – 3 tbsp. spoons of mayonnaise;
- salt and black pepper to taste;
- fresh greens.
How to cook:
Any meat is suitable for preparing the salad: chicken, beef or pork. The main thing you should pay attention to is the freshness and juiciness of the meat for the salad. I took the pork. Rinse the pork pulp and boil in salted water until tender. Cut the boiled meat into small pieces, you can chop it into cubes or strips. Peel the carrots and grate them on a coarse grater. Peel the onion and chop finely. Also cut the pickled cucumbers into small cubes. You can optionally add pickled champignons to the “Obzhorka” salad. If you have large mushrooms, it is advisable to cut them.
Pour vegetable oil into a heated frying pan and first fry the chopped onion, and then add the grated carrots. Simmer the vegetables until done.
Then cool the fried vegetables and place them in a large cup, where it will be convenient to mix the salad. Add chopped pork there.
Rinse fresh herbs in warm water, dry with a napkin and chop very finely.
Add greens, mayonnaise to the salad and season to taste with salt and black pepper.
Stir the salad.
Place the salad on a serving platter and garnish with fresh herbs. Serve the finished “Obzhorka” salad to the table.
If “glutton” sounds unfriendly and characterizes a person who cannot resist eating an extra portion, then “glutton”, on the contrary, is a sweet and affectionate nickname. The salad received this name, most likely due to the fact that it satisfies hunger in the best possible way. This dish is an extravaganza of culinary fantasy. Of course, to combine Korean carrots, prunes and smoked chicken together you need to have extraordinary imagination. There are at least a dozen different recipes for this dish. It’s even difficult now to say which Obzhorka recipe can be called classic: with liver, sausage or chicken. Some people add fresh cucumbers to it, others add salted ones. You can also experiment with types of meat.
The most satisfying “glutton” salad is obtained by combining potatoes, pork, cabbage and beets. Despite the fact that the dish fills you up very quickly, it is not as delicious as the salad prepared according to the recipe presented.
Obzhorka salad with chicken
If you want to please your guests with an individual approach, then serve the “glutton” in small portioned salad bowls or glasses, and if you want the dish to look chic on the table, then place it in a large bowl.
Please your favorite gluttons with a tasty and satisfying salad. It may become a pleasant discovery and favorite dish for you.
Ingredients:
- Champignons – 0.4 kg;
- Smoked chicken fillet – 0.3 kg;
- Fresh cucumbers – 0.3 kg;
- Korean carrots – 150 g;
- Pitted prunes – 150 g;
- Sunflower oil;
- Mayonnaise,
- Pepper, salt - to taste.
Cooking process:
Sort the mushrooms, wash, finely chop. Fry the chopped champignons in sunflower oil until the moisture has evaporated from them. Salt and pepper them.
Cut smoked or boiled chicken fillet into cubes. I still advise you to give preference to smoked chicken breast or leg. The taste will only benefit. If you use boiled or baked chicken, then replace the fresh cucumber with salted or pickled one.
Rinse fresh cucumbers and also cut into cubes; if they are bitter, then first cut off the peel. Squeeze the finished Korean carrots from the sauce and cut the long threads into shorter ones.
If you don’t have ready-made carrots on hand, prepare this savory ingredient yourself. Wash the fresh carrots thoroughly, peel and chop on a special grater. Use special seasoning for Korean carrots. Its packaging usually describes the preparation process in detail.
Cut the pitted prunes into small pieces.
Now you can lay the salad in layers; place the chopped fried mushrooms in the first layer. Cover them lightly with a layer of mayonnaise on top.
This will be followed by a layer of smoked chicken, cut into cubes and always a thin layer of mayonnaise.
Place carrots on the chicken. Don't forget to brush the carrot layer.
Place chopped prunes and mayonnaise on the carrots.
Next, lay a layer of cucumbers. If desired, the layers can be repeated again. The top remains unlubricated.
Adviсe
There are many variations of this unusual salad, which can easily compete with the famous Olivier salad. If desired, you can add garlic to the dish and replace the chicken with fish. By the way, you can put green peas in it instead of prunes. This option will appeal to those who do not like the combination of meat and sweet foods.
How to beautifully decorate a prepared holiday salad. To do this, you can use sprigs of fresh juicy herbs, halves of bright cherry tomatoes or olives. The salad in portioned baked tartlets looks very healthy and interesting. But if you decide to serve it this way, then put it in them immediately before serving so that the dough does not have time to get soggy; of course, in this case it will not be possible to repeat the alternation of layers twice.
Be sure to try out several ways to prepare and serve this dish and share your impressions with us in the comments. And even better - the experience of preparing it!
