Concluding our conversation with you, I would like to recommend you several other salads for the holiday table, which will definitely please even the most capricious and picky family members. Try preparing a delicious salad with red fish - a relatively recent invention of our chefs, which has already won many hearts.

In addition, it would not be out of place to mention here the classic and most famous salad, which, as it turns out, can be prepared even faster and easier than before.

The name itself, “Royal” salad, means that it contains many products that, when combined with each other, create an exquisite dish suitable for a royal table. It is clear that such a dish consists of quite expensive products, because an ordinary salad will not have such a grand name. This dish is perfect for a holiday table or a big celebration when you need to surprise guests with something chic and sophisticated. This dish is famous for its rich taste, and not everyone can afford such a dish, because it contains seafood, and in order to achieve the desired result when preparing, you should use only original products, and in no case their substitutes.

But in general, preparing this dish is not at all difficult; the recipe does not include such a large number of products, so it will take a small amount of time to prepare. The dish looks like a layer cake, so it is important to follow the sequence when assembling the dish. The dish also does not have too complicated decorations; in the classic version, the top of the appetizer is covered with a layer of red caviar, which immediately raises the dish’s rating very high. The main thing is that the caviar is of good quality.

The composition of the salad is rich in proteins, which are abundant in seafood. Also, the inhabitants of the sea have a large supply of iodine and phosphorus, which is especially needed by a growing organism. Therefore, such a salad can be given in small portions even to children, the main thing is to adjust the correct dosage of the food consumed. The composition of the dish is quite satisfying, especially for lovers of sea creatures. It will not affect your figure much if consumed in moderation.

Considering the classic version, in which the main role is played by squid and red caviar, it is worth noting that this is not the only version of the salad prepared under the name “Tsarsky”. I add various types of products to the dish, including seafood, which enrich the dish, making it more refined and better.

Main Ingredients

There is nothing special in those products that come as part of the classic version of the Tsarsky salad. The only difference between this dish is that many products, without which the creation of the dish is impossible, are very expensive and not available to all segments of the population.

Preparing the royal salad

The process of preparing the usual, classic “Tsarsky” salad does not take much time, so if you start cutting and assembling it, you can easily finish it in an hour, along with cooking the necessary ingredients.

1. Rinse chicken eggs well, but carefully so as not to damage the shell to remove various contaminants that may get into the food. Place the chicken products in the water, wait until it boils, and then count 12 minutes until the eggs become firm inside. Cool them in cold water, and then peel and grate through a fine grater.
2. Squids are usually freely available frozen; it is better to take them already cleaned to save time. They need to be boiled very quickly, no more than 4 minutes, so that the meat does not become tough. Cut them into cubes after cooking.
3. Rinse the potatoes under running water and boil them in the skins until softened. It is worth salting the water during cooking, and in order for the salt to penetrate the skin, you need to make punctures on the raw potatoes with a thin needle. After cooking, peel it and grind it using a grater.
4. Pass the cheese through a large-hole strainer.
5. The salad needs to be assembled in layers; it will look like a snack cake. Place a potato layer down, then squid, cheese, sprinkle with grated egg on top. Each layer should be smeared with mayonnaise. The dish must be decorated with red caviar, which must be laid out in a whole layer on top. You can get a little creative and put the caviar in the shape of a star or other shape.

Calorie content of royal salad

The calorie content of the dish reaches medium size and is not suitable as a light dinner. The royal snack is quite filling, full of nutrients and microelements that have a positive effect on the body. One small portion weighing 100 g contains 240 kcal. Also protein in salad – 7 g; fat – 10 g; carbohydrates – 5 g.

Such dishes are popular at large celebrations, when very important and honored guests are expected to be received, who will be pleased to taste the salads that previously appeared in a similar form on the royal tables. Especially if you engage guests with the history of the origin of this dish and the name for it, you can make a huge splash on those present, then the success of the event is guaranteed.

To make the straws thin, you can use a grater to prepare carrots in Korean. Also chop the bell pepper and Chinese cabbage into strips. True, you will have to tinker with the second vegetable longer, since you need to grind the leaves separately and the “stems”, the white and dense parts, separately.

After each addition, the vegetable mixture is mixed, simmered for 5 minutes, after which the next component is added. Lastly, the dressing sauce is poured into the pan. This time the mixture must also be stirred, but it should be kept on fire for only 2 minutes.
4. Place the finished salad in a salad bowl, let cool slightly, and garnish with finely chopped herbs.

Layered salad “Royally” with red fish and caviar

Ingredients

• salmon – 200 gr
• cheese – 150 gr
• cucumber – 1 pc.
• egg – 3 pcs
• butter – 25 g
• red onion – 1 pc.
• mayonnaise to taste

For the marinade:

• water – 300 ml
• salt – 1 tbsp. spoon
• sugar – 1 teaspoon
• vinegar 9% – 3 tbsp. spoons

For decoration:

• red caviar – 1 – 2 tbsp. spoons
• olives – 0.5 cans

Step by step cooking method

1. First of all, we need to finely chop the onion and marinate it. The onion should be cut into half rings, and if the head is large, then cut it into two more halves.
2. For the marinade, mix all ingredients. Take water at room temperature, either boiled or raw. However, it is not recommended to take raw water from a tap where chlorinated water flows. Use bottled water for this. Mix the ingredients until the salt and sugar are completely dissolved in the water.
3. Pour the marinade over the onions and leave for 10 - 15 minutes, that is, while we prepare the ingredients.
4. Yes, and you also need to put a piece of butter in the freezer in advance. Try to use only 82% fat oil. This is real oil, tasty and healthy.
5. Boil the eggs, peel them and chop them finely.
6. Cut the cucumber into small strips. To do this, first cut it into thin plates, and then cut slightly diagonally.
7. Grate the cheese. You can use any cheese in this recipe. Soft cheese is also suitable, and even more so than hard cheese. It sticks together better, and for this option this is only a plus.
8. Cut the red fish into small cubes. However, it is desirable that the cubes do not fall apart and can retain their shape. So keep this in mind when slicing.
9. Place the fish on a plate. Remove the oil from the freezer and grate it directly onto the fish.
10. Prepare portioned plates or one large flat dish (depending on what shapes you have prepared). We put a form on it.
11. And lay out the salmon mixed with butter as the first layer. Compact it with a tablespoon.
12. Place a second layer of pickled onions. But first you need to drain the marinade and squeeze out the onion. If the taste turns out to be sour or salty, then the onion can be washed.
13. Add fresh cucumber. Squeeze out a small amount of mayonnaise from the bag and smooth it onto the surface. Again, slightly compacting the contents.
14. Add eggs to the cucumber and again coat the layer with mayonnaise, lightly tamping it with a tablespoon.
15. And finally, our last layer will be cheese. Just lay it out tightly and press down well with a spoon. There is no need to lubricate with mayonnaise anymore. The first layers are already quite dense and will be a good platform for it.
16. The form and contents should be placed in the refrigerator to make it easier to remove the form later.
17. You can leave it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes or overnight. It depends when you eat it. But you will need to decorate its top immediately before serving.
18. But before serving, you need to remove the molds with the contents from the refrigerator and carefully remove them, leaving our beauty unchanged. To do this, do not jerk them sharply, but gently pull them from one side. You may need to rotate it slightly. Our task is to maintain its shape. Therefore, we do everything possible for this.
19. You can decorate the finished dish to your liking. Absolutely any ingredients that go with our dish can be used as decoration. These include shrimp, fish, any caviar, olives, black olives, and cheese.

There was no monarch in Russia who lived and ate more luxuriously than Ivan the Terrible. Usually his tables were laden with food and dishes. Honey, beer and wine flowed in rivers. The main courses were eaten with expensive food - red and black caviar, overseas vegetables and fruits.

The Italians, who were building Moscow at that time, made a great contribution to the development of royal cuisine. Subsequently, the influence of European traditions on our customs only grew, reaching its peak during the reign of the Romanovs.

However, royal cuisine existed not only in our country. Many eastern kings were also renowned gourmets. They maintained entire guilds of cooks who cooked all day long to feed not only the sovereign, but also his harem.

A variety of spices and rare roots played a significant role here. It was believed that the more there are, the higher the status of the dish. For example, oriental salads have always been prepared with the addition of huge amounts of spices. They were typically served warm and beautifully garnished.

This is not to say that the royal salads were something unusual. The most important difference from ordinary ones is the high cost of the ingredients. After all, not everyone can afford to eat caviar every day.
Today we will tell you about recipes for royal salads. We hope that you will like them.
