Instructions

Step 1

Prepare Ingredients

First, grate the eggs and cheese separately using a fine grater. This will ensure a smooth texture in your salad.

Next, dice the avocado into small cubes and drizzle with a bit of lemon juice to prevent browning.

Then, chop the crab sticks into small pieces. For the shrimp, boil them with a bay leaf, allspice, and slices of garlic until cooked, then chop them finely.

Step 2

Layer Salad

Begin layering your salad from the bottom up. Start with the first layer of grated eggs and spread a layer of mayonnaise on top.

For the second layer, mix the chopped crab sticks and shrimp together, and add them on top, followed by another layer of mayonnaise.

The third layer will be the diced avocado.

Step 3

Add Finishing Touches

The fourth layer will be caviar followed by a thin layer of mayonnaise.

Proceed with the fifth layer of grated cheese.

Finally, you may decorate the top with any chosen garnish, I suggest more caviar mixed with mayonnaise.
