80 minutes

Meat layered salad with cucumbers and walnuts is a refined dish of European cuisine that combines the rich flavor of beef, the zesty freshness of pickled cucumbers, the softness of eggs, and the aromatic crunch of roasted walnuts. This salad surprises with its harmony of textures and flavors due to its multilayered nature. Historically, layered salads gained popularity as festive dishes because their impressive presentation makes them a centerpiece on the table. The taste of the salad can be described as both rich and refreshing – it combines saltiness, nutty bitterness, and creamy tenderness of mayonnaise. Its main use is as an appetizer at formal events or cozy family dinners. To fully develop the flavor, the salad should be chilled before serving to allow the layers to soak and meld together.
