Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
Peel the pre-boiled hard-boiled eggs and grate them on a fine grater. I suggest assembling the salad immediately on a serving platter. Place eggs in the first layer and brush with a small amount of mayonnaise.

Step 2

Step 2
Cut the pitted olives into thin rings. Place in a single layer on top of the eggs.

Step 3

Step 3
Grate crab sticks (or crab meat) on a fine grater and place in the next layer. Grease with a small amount of mayonnaise.

Step 4

Step 4
Wash the dill and shake from the water. Finely chop and place in the next layer. By the way, if you put the dill layer at the very end, you will get a charming New Year tree, in my opinion.

Step 5

Step 5
Grate the sharp cheese on a fine grater and place on top of the dill. Grease with mayonnaise.

Step 6

Step 6
Cleaned squids must be boiled in advance by placing the carcasses in boiling water for a couple of minutes and cooling. Then chop into small cubes.

Step 7

Step 7
Squid is the next layer of salad. Mayonnaise on top.

Step 8

Step 8
Boil the shrimp in boiling water for a couple of minutes in advance. Remove shells. And check for the presence of a dark green stripe on the back of the esophagus. If it is present, then it must be removed by making a cut along the entire back of the shrimp.

Step 9

Step 9
Place shrimp on top of mayonnaise (they will stick well). I laid out the shrimp whole, as I am deeply convinced that these unique crustaceans need slicing only as a last resort (that is, almost never). And decorate the salad with red caviar and fresh herbs. Before serving, the plate must be cleaned with a napkin if it has become dirty during the cooking process.
