Salad with apples, carrots, eggs and cheese
6 servings
30 minutes
This salad is a bright representative of Soviet cuisine, where simple and accessible ingredients transform into a rich and harmonious dish. Its history dates back to an era when hearty and easy-to-make recipes were valued in the USSR. The combination of sweet apples, juicy carrots, tender eggs, and tangy cheddar creates an exquisite balance of flavors – simultaneously fresh, slightly sweet, and softly creamy thanks to the mayonnaise. The layered structure makes it resemble a snack cake that looks impressive on a festive table. This salad can be served as an independent appetizer or as an accompaniment to meat dishes. Its lightness and juiciness make it especially suitable for summer days or gatherings with loved ones, where comfort and simplicity are appreciated.
