Pomegranate bracelet salad - classic recipe with chicken

Let's look at the preparation step by step with illustrations for the best result. You will get such beauty.

Ingredients:

Boiled chicken fillet - 350 gr.
Small boiled potatoes in their jackets - 3 pcs.
Medium-sized beets - 2-3 pcs.
Small onions - 2 pcs.
Large ripe pomegranate - 1 pc.
Walnuts - 150 gr.
Homemade mayonnaise.
Salt, pepper - add to taste.

The ingredients for the salad must be prepared in advance. We cook the potatoes in their skins for 20-25 minutes; you will have to tinker with the beets longer.

Depending on the size, cooking it takes from 40 minutes to 1 hour or more if the root vegetable is very large. But it’s better not to take such huge ones; boil several small ones and save time.

Boil the fillet in salted water until tender. Remove the skins from the onion and chop finely. Let's start cooking.

Step 1. Finely chop the onion and place it in a frying pan with a small drop of oil. Fry it until soft.

Step 2. As soon as the desired softness is achieved, the onion has become transparent, add chopped boiled fillet to it, add salt and fry everything together for about a minute. This is necessary so that the fillet is saturated with onion juice and together they form one layer.

Step 3. Place the coarsely grated potatoes in the first layer on a large dish around a tall glass. Level and apply mayonnaise mesh.

Step 4. Place a second layer of slightly browned fillet with onions. Mayonezim.

Step 4. Grate the beets on a coarse grater. We shape each layer with a spoon and, if desired, apply a thin mayonnaise mesh.

Walnuts can be chopped with a knife or chopped in a blender until the fraction is not too small.

Step 5. Sprinkle them on the beet layer.

Step 6. Cover the entire salad with mayonnaise. This is necessary so that the pomegranate seeds do not roll off, but stick evenly to the surface of our product.

Step 6. Peel the pomegranate seeds. It is desirable that the fruit is ripe, then its grains have a very bright color and they really glow like precious stones.

Step 7. Cover the surface of the workpiece tightly with grains so that there are no gaps left. Level with a spoon.

Let the salad sit in the refrigerator for about 1 hour. During this time, all layers will be saturated, and the form will “set” well.

Before serving, you need to take it out, remove the glass from the center and decorate this bright masterpiece to your liking. Roses made from vegetables or eggs look great. And the salad itself is simply delicious!

Bon appetit!

Recipe for Pomegranate bracelet with beef step by step

The version with beef shows itself to be very worthy and noble in taste. This composition is close to many people!

Ingredients:

Beef (boneless) – 300 gr.
Medium potato tubers - 2-3 pcs.
Carrots – 2 pcs.
Almonds (cashews or walnuts).
Pomegranate – 1-2 pcs. (depending on its size).
Medium size onion - 1 pc.
Beets – 2 pcs.
Mayonnaise (or low-calorie substitute) – 120-150 gr.
Spices and salt - to the hostess's taste.

As expected, at the first stage the beef is boiled. To do this, it is initially cleaned, washed, and then placed in a pan of boiling water. After the water boils again, you need to slightly reduce the heating intensity - the water in the pan should literally barely boil. And it is in this mode that you need to cook the meat for about 40-50 minutes. At the same time, add salt to the broth ten to fifteen minutes before the expected readiness. At the end of the process, the beef must be cooled and then cut into small pieces.

As expected, vegetables should be pre-cooked to the point of “softness” and peeled when cool. Then potatoes, beets and carrots need to be grated separately on a coarse or medium grater. After this, they are placed in different bowls. In turn, the pomegranate must be peeled and freed from veins.

This version of the “Pomegranate Bracelet” is formed on a large plate (platter), on which it will be served to the table. A glass or glass is placed in the center of the dish, which will help you achieve the desired neat shape of your favorite salad when assembling.

The first step is to lay a layer of potatoes. You need to lay the sauce (mayonnaise, sour cream or yogurt) on it in a “mesh”, and then spread it evenly with a spoon so that a fairly thin layer appears.

The second layer is boiled beef, which was disassembled into fibers and sprinkled with fried onions.

The third layer is tender boiled carrots, grated on a coarse grater. Cover this layer with mayonnaise.

And sprinkle chopped nuts on top. For this recipe you can use any.

Next comes the beetroot layer, which will need to be evenly distributed and covered with mayonnaise to better fix the pomegranate seeds.

They will need to cover the entire surface.

After assembly is complete, the finished salad should be refrigerated for a couple of hours to soak. At the end of the period, the salad must be removed from the refrigerator and the glass removed.

All! The classic Pomegranate bracelet with beef can be served!

Festive “Pomegranate Bracelet” with beef – one of the classic versions

Ingredients of the salad (yield: approximately 8 servings):

beef (boneless) – 300 g;
potatoes - 2-3 tubers (not small, not too large);
carrots – 2 pcs.;
beets – 2 pcs.;
pomegranate – 1-2 pcs. (depending on the size of the fruit);
mayonnaise (can be replaced with a lower-calorie dressing at your discretion) – 120-150 g;
salt, spices - to taste.

Step-by-step cooking algorithm with photos:

Boil the beef. To do this, you need to clean it, wash it, put it in a pan, and fill it with freshly boiled water. Place on the fire, bring to a boil, pour off the first broth. Pour boiling water over the meat again, so that the liquid covers the beef, and return to medium heat. After boiling again, slightly reduce the heating intensity. The water should barely boil noticeably. Cook in this mode for 40-50 minutes, until soft. 10-15 minutes before expected readiness, add salt. Cool the boiled piece of beef and chop finely.

Boil root vegetables and potatoes until soft in their skins, peel after cooling. Grate the carrots and potatoes on a medium or coarse grater (separately, not in one bowl).

And beets - on a fine grater.

Remove the peel and veins from the pomegranate seeds.

The salad is immediately formed on a dish (plate) on which it will be served. You can place a glass or glass in the center (depending on the final size of the salad). This will help achieve a more accurate shape of the “Bracelet”. According to the classic recipe, the salad includes mayonnaise. If desired, it can be replaced with a mixture of sour cream (thick unsweetened yogurt) and a small amount of mustard. Each layer must be covered with a mesh of sauce, and then spread with a spoon to form a thin layer. It is convenient to make a mesh by placing mayonnaise in a bag with a corner cut off. Start laying out the salad with potatoes.

Distribute the carrots evenly over the potatoes.

Next are pieces of boiled beef.

Potatoes cooked in their jackets are grated on a grater (medium size). A little salt is added to it, and the future first layer of salad is thoroughly mixed.
As expected, to give a special shape (ring, bracelet) to this themed salad, a cylindrical glass is placed on the plate where the salad will be collected. Afterwards, potatoes are laid out on the dish, with a thin mayonnaise layer on top.
Then the pre-boiled beets must be finely grated and the resulting mass divided into two equal parts. The first of them should be placed on a layer of potatoes, and carefully sprinkled with walnut pieces on top.
Next, the chicken is placed, previously boiled, separated from the bones and cut into strips.
Prunes, softened in advance with boiling water, are cut into strips and carefully laid out on a layer with chicken. A layer of mayonnaise is applied on top.
Then there is a layer of boiled grated carrots, smeared with mayonnaise on top. And then layers of hard-boiled eggs and grated hard cheese. All of them are again “watered” with mayonnaise sauce.
Next, lay out the second part of the grated beets, covered with mayonnaise. And, as expected, the salad is decorated with pomegranate seeds at the finish. All this splendor is placed in the refrigerator for a couple of hours (more is possible). And at the right moment, the festive “Garnet Bracelet” is served to the table!

And here’s another thing, look what a beautiful option not only with prunes, but also with kiwi. Looks great:

Delicious salad Pomegranate bracelet with walnuts

This is a delicious option with walnuts. It is similar to recipe No. 1, but there are significant differences - this salad is prepared with eggs and completely without onions.

It’s up to you to decide which one tastes better, rate both and choose which one you like best.

Ingredients:

Chicken breast fillet, legs – 350 gr.
Medium-sized potato tubers – 3 pcs.
Ripe pomegranate – 2-3 pcs.
Walnut kernels – 100 gr.
Beets - 2 pcs.
Hard-boiled egg - 3 pcs.
Freshly ground pepper.
Salt.
Refined (odorless) sunflower oil for frying ingredients.

By the time you start preparing such an appetizing salad dish, the ingredients (vegetables, chicken) that require heat treatment must be cooked and have time to lower their temperature to an acceptable one. A little secret to make the chicken more tender and flavorful:

The chicken must be placed in boiling water. It should be boiled for about 30 minutes. And to make boiled chicken meat the most juicy, aromatic and tasty, you need to add two or three peas of allspice, half a spoon with mustard seeds, a small part of celery or parsnip root, or parsley, and a bay leaf to the pan. You only need to add salt during the final cooking period. Because this is how the fibers will remain the softest. Take note.

After this cooled chicken fillet needs to be cut into small cubes. Grate the vegetables on a coarse grater.

Remove the seeds from the pomegranate. Walnut kernels should also be lightly dried in a frying pan without oil or in the oven and then chopped into smaller pieces.

And now, when all the available components are finally prepared, the most interesting and “magical” time comes - the final assembly of the salad. We collect the layers and coat them with dressing in this order:

Boiled chicken meat.
Grated carrots.
Grated potatoes.
Crushed walnuts.
Boiled grated eggs.
Grated beets.
Coating with mayonnaise.
Pomegranate seeds.

After all the procedures for assembling the salad, place it in the refrigerator for at least one hour. And the salad is ready. You can safely serve it to the table! Incredibly delicious.

Classic recipe for Pomegranate Bracelet salad with chicken and walnuts (with photo)

What you need for cooking:

chicken (breast fillet or legs) – 350 g;
potatoes - 3-4 medium-sized tubers;
beets – 2-3 pcs. (small);
onions - 1 large or 2 medium onions;
ripe pomegranate – 1 large or 2 medium-sized;
walnuts (kernels) – 150 g;
mayonnaise – 4-5 tbsp. l.;
table salt – 0.5 tsp. (taste);
freshly ground pepper - a pinch;
odorless sunflower oil – 30 ml (for frying).

How to prepare the salad:

It is logical to start preparing the dish with ingredients that require heat treatment, so that they have time to cool down by the time the salad is assembled. Wash the beets and potatoes well to remove soil residues. Without removing the “uniform”, place in separate pans and add water. Boil until soft. Depending on the variety and size of the tubers, the potatoes are cooked for 30-50 minutes. It will take about 1.5-2 hours to bring the beets to readiness. The chicken must be boiled by placing it in boiling water for 25-35 minutes (after boiling again). To make the chicken meat more juicy and aromatic, you can add a couple of allspice peas, half a teaspoon of mustard seeds, a bay leaf, and a piece of celery root (parsley, parsnip) to the pan. It is better to salt the fillet at the very end of cooking, so the fibers will remain as soft as possible. The classic composition of the “Pomegranate Bracelet” includes breast, but it can be replaced with other parts of the carcass, for example, legs. Remove the finished chicken from the broth and transfer to a plate to cool. Cut the cooled meat into small cubes. While the fillet is cooking, peel and finely dice the onion.

Place it in well-heated oil in a frying pan. Stirring, fry until transparent. And then add boiled chicken. Mix everything, add a little salt and pepper, and fry until crispy. After this, remove from heat and cool to room temperature.

Make several neat cuts on the pomegranate peel with a knife and remove the seeds.

Peel the boiled vegetables, let them cool, grate them on a medium grater, mix with a small amount of salt (spices - optional). Dry the nut kernels a little in the oven or in a frying pan without oil, do not chop them too coarsely. When all the ingredients are prepared, start assembling the salad. To lay it out in the shape of a bracelet, you will need a flat dish and a glass (preferably one with smooth sides). The glass must be placed in the center of the plate and layers of “Garnet Bracelet” should be laid out around it. The first layer is grated potatoes.

It should be covered with a thin layer of mayonnaise.

By the way, to make the salad more piquant and aromatic, you can add a clove of garlic to the mayonnaise.

Pour the chicken fried with onions on top and trim. Coat with mayonnaise.

Place grated beets on the chicken and spread a small amount of mayonnaise over its entire surface.

Sprinkle generously with nuts and spread with mayonnaise.

The last layer is pomegranate seeds. In order for the pomegranate top of the “Bracelet” to turn out beautiful and bright, the pomegranate must be ripe. It is advisable to choose a variety with small seeds to make the dish more pleasant to eat. Carefully cover the finished salad with cling film and place it in the refrigerator to soak for at least 1 hour, but it is better to keep it in the cold longer.

Salad recipe with chicken fillet and mushrooms

It is noteworthy that this version of the salad involves the use of not only fresh, but also pickled mushrooms. Honey mushrooms and champignons are suitable.

Of course, the taste of the salad will change somewhat. However, it will also be very interesting and tasty.

Ingredients:

Ripe and large pomegranate – 1 pc.
Small potato tubers - 3-4 pcs.
Medium sized carrots – 2 pcs.
Beets (large size, within reason) – 1 pc.
Chicken breast (fillet) – 300 gr.
Fresh (marinated) mushrooms (champignons).
Mayonnaise – 150-200 gr.
Fine boiled salt - 3/4 teaspoon.
Onion - 1/2 pcs.
Vegetable oil - for frying ingredients.
A few sprigs of parsley to garnish the salad.

At the first stage, as expected, the vegetables used must be boiled and then cooled. For this, the best option is to boil the vegetables the night before. During the night, potatoes, beets, and carrots will calmly cool down, and therefore, during the main stage of preparing the salad, housewives will not have to take a serious break from work.

Before cooking, mushrooms – champignons – should be thoroughly washed. If the skin is excessively dirty, you can simply remove it. Then you need to cut the mushrooms into not very large cubes and fry in heated vegetable oil until golden brown.
You can also add salt (to taste), pepper and garlic, and finely chopped onion to the champignons. This is a classic combination and is used in many salads.
The resulting fried mushrooms must be cooled.
Boiled and already cooled vegetables are peeled and grated (large).
Next, you need to assemble the salad like a bracelet. And in order to get the necessary neat hole in the center of the salad bowl, a cylindrical glass or (mug) without a handle is usually used.
The first layer is potatoes, which need to be pressed down a little, but should not be compacted too tightly.
Next comes a small carrot-mayonnaise layer.
Then small pieces of boiled chicken are placed, plus mayonnaise, which should not be too much - the main thing is that the salad layer does not drip or disintegrate.
After the chicken comes the mushroom stage. Since mushrooms and onions are already quite fatty, there is no need to grease them with mayonnaise.
Beets are placed behind the mushrooms, pre-mixed with mayonnaise and salt.

If you are soon expecting a gala dinner in honor of a birthday, christening, Christmas or any other celebration, then classic dishes will be on the table.

Not every housewife can cook something that will look appetizing and will not be inferior in taste to masterpieces from professional chefs. Pomegranate bracelet salad from classic recipes will help you out on one of these days.

Do you want to know the secrets and tips for preparing this dish?

Have you already guessed why the salad has such a name? The dish is visually very similar to a bracelet, because it has a hole in the middle of the circle. Pomegranate salad - because of the top ingredient.

Sleight of hand and a couple of improvised objects in the house will help every housewife! You don't need to run to highly specialized stores for ingredients, because the snack contains affordable ingredients.

But the successful combination of vegetables, chicken, eggs and spices deserves special attention. A few tips to help you make Pomegranate Bracelet salad the first time:

During the cooking process, a glass will be used to perfectly shape the hole inside. Wrap it in cling film and you won't even have to wash it. Remove the glass from the dish before adding mayonnaise to the last layer so you don't ruin the top.

There is no need to salt the food a couple of hours in advance, because it will become too soaked and over-salted. Do this while cooking.

If aesthetic beauty is important to you, then place the pomegranate seeds as densely as possible. A free location is economical, but you won’t be able to impress guests with an original appearance.
The pomegranate should be seedless or soft. You are unlikely to want to eat hard grains. If you don’t find the pomegranate you need, then use a great alternative - lingonberries.
If you are expecting guests in the evening, then before serving you need to put the salad in the refrigerator for at least 12 hours. Don't forget to wrap it in cling film. Then the dish will be juicy, and all the guests will ask you about the delicious recipe.
