Layered salad with eggs, nuts, and apples is the embodiment of elegance in Russian cuisine, where layers of ingredients create a harmonious blend of flavors. Its origins trace back to traditional family celebrations where such salads adorn festive tables. Tender boiled eggs form a soft base, pickled onions add zest, and juicy apples refresh the taste. Crunchy walnuts provide structure while Gouda cheese completes the composition with a rich creamy note. Mayonnaise binds the layers together creating a creamy texture. This salad is perfect for festive occasions and cozy family dinners; it can be served as a standalone dish or as a side to meat delicacies. The original combination of sweet, salty, and nutty makes it unforgettable.
