Instructions
Step 1
Start by boiling the potatoes and carrots until they are tender, which usually takes about 20-30 minutes. Allow them to cool before peeling. Next, boil the eggs in a pot of water for 10-12 minutes, then cool them as well.
Once all your ingredients are ready, grate the potatoes, carrots, and eggs using a fine grater. This will help in creating a smooth texture for your salad.
Step 2
Cut the smoked salmon into bite-sized pieces. Lay out a piece of plastic wrap and then a piece of aluminum foil over it. Start layering the ingredients on top of each other in the following order: a layer of grated potatoes, follow with a sprinkle of salt and a layer of mayonnaise.
Next, add a layer of grated carrots, seasoned with salt and mayonnaise. Repeat the process with the grated eggs, adding salt and mayonnaise each time you layer.
Finally, add the salmon pieces and finish up with another layer of potatoes on top.
Step 3
Carefully lift the plastic wrap from one end and start rolling the layers tightly into a log shape. Make sure to keep the roll secure and wrapped well with the plastic wrap.
Once rolled, you can place the salad in the refrigerator for at least 1-2 hours to firm up. Before serving, unwrap the salad and garnish with cream cheese and red caviar for an elegant finish.
This salad not only looks stunning but also delivers an explosion of flavors that everyone will surely love!
Servings
✨ When it comes to serving, presentation is key! Once you’ve rolled your “Tsarsky” salad, take it out of the plastic wrap and slice it into beautiful rounds to showcase the colorful layers. Arrange these on a platter and garnish with fresh herbs like dill or green onions. Serve it chilled, and watch your guests swoon over each bite! 🍣🥗
💖 For a cozy get-together, pair this salad with some crusty bread and a light white wine for a refreshing experience. Consider a lovely cheese board on the side to complement the flavors. Imagine the delight on everyone’s faces as they take a seat at your beautifully set table!
