Meat salads are very popular and can often be seen at holiday feasts. If you are planning a special event, then prepare an original and delicious salad with smoked meat.
Recipe contents:
All meat salads are quite tasty and nutritious. The main product is accompanied by a variety of ingredients: vegetables, herbs, cheese, mushrooms. Such salads can easily become a full dinner, or they can be served as an appetizer before the main lunch course. A variety of meats are used for salads: boiled, fried and smoked. In this recipe, I suggest using the latter option.
Of course, smoked meat cannot be classified as a dietary product or a healthy diet. The smoking process itself is not a very useful way of cooking food. It is recommended to consume this product in moderation. And for people with gastritis, peptic ulcers, pyelonephritis and glaucoma, this ingredient is generally contraindicated. Because when smoking, the product is processed with smoke, as a result of which it is saturated with carcinogenic substances.
However, many housewives use it to prepare various dishes, but naturally very rarely. Since you can treat yourself to goodies once or twice a month and it will not affect your well-being in any way. In addition, smoked meat has benefits. For example, during the smoking process, all useful substances are preserved as much as possible. And chicken meat is generally an excellent source of protein. It contains vitamins B and PP, iron and magnesium.

Preparing a salad with smoked meat
1. Remove the pickles from the brine, place in a sieve and leave for 5-10 minutes to drain all the liquid. Then cut them into cubes about 5–7 mm in size.
2. Cut the smoked chicken meat into small pieces. You can use any chicken meat you like: breasts, thighs, legs, or buy a whole chicken. But in this case, you will need to remove the skin, because... It's not needed in the salad.
3. Boil the eggs hard. Then cool them in ice water, peel them and cut them into small cubes. Try to ensure that all products are cut the same size, then the salad will look more beautiful.
4. Wash the green onions, dry and finely chop.
5. Place all products in a deep bowl and pour in mayonnaise.
6. Mix the ingredients well and taste the salad. If there is not enough salt, add it. But perhaps it will not be needed, because... salt, pickles and smoked meat will be enough. Therefore, salt the dish at the very end of cooking.

Boil hard-boiled eggs separately, cover with cold water, cool, and peel. Combine mayonnaise with peeled and pressed garlic. If the mayonnaise is very thick, then dilute it a little with cold boiled water and stir. Place the salad dish upside down on a sheet of paper, trace it with a pencil, and cut it out. Draw a sheep's face on the circle and carefully cut it out.

Coarsely grate the potatoes and add the first layer of salad. Sprinkle a little pepper and salt. Spread with mayonnaise and garlic. Cut two pieces of smoked meat, cut out the ears for the lamb, set aside.

Place a layer of yolks. Do not lubricate with mayonnaise. Cut pickled or pickled cucumbers into cubes and place the fourth layer. Spread the top and sides of the salad well with mayonnaise. Lay out the egg whites and cover the sides and top of the salad. Spread mayonnaise on the area where the sheep's bangs will be and sprinkle with coarsely grated cheese.

Place the salad in the refrigerator for three hours to soak. Decorate the “Sheep” salad: make eyes, mouth and eyelashes from black olives, make a flower from a piece of olive and a bell pepper, draw the center of the flower, ears, pupils with mayonnaise.
