The “Snake” salad is not as popular as the same herring under a fur coat or Olivier salad, but in terms of originality and exceptionally festive “look” when served, they are not its competitors.
This salad does not have an established “composition” - almost any combination of products can be considered it if it is laid out on a dish in the appropriate form. Hence the conclusion: the main thing is presentation. You can layer the ingredients, alternate them, or you can simply mix everything separately in advance, place it on a plate and shape it into a wriggling ribbon.
To make the salad even more like a snake, you can cut out its tongue from a carrot, make a crown from tomatoes, radishes, cucumbers, scales from peas, sliced cucumber, corn - in a word, anything that can be given the desired look.
You can prepare Snake salad with fish, chicken, beef or pork, offal - or make a “children's” version from berries, fruits, ice cream and chocolate chips. It’s hard to find a dish more open to culinary experimentation!
