The chiming clock and the most romantic night of the year are getting closer. In pre-holiday chores, it is important to properly distribute forces and think over the New Year’s menu in advance. The owner of the next 2021 is the Metal Ox, so traditional snacks and salads should be arranged taking into account the diet of the owner of the year. We offer you a recipe for salad “Goby”, which will decorate your table and give the holiday a special atmosphere.
For the recipe, you will need boiled lean pork, which can be replaced with poultry meat. Choose a quality full-fat mayonnaise and country eggs. White cheeses such as mozzarella are best for topping. For decoration, you can use any edible products.
Ingredients:
For salad:
- Boiled pork – 150 g.
- Pickled chanterelles – 200 g.
- Potato – 1 pc.
- Carrots – 50 g.

- Mayonnaise – 2-3 tbsp. l.
- Salt pepper.
For registration:
- Pumpkin – 2-3 slices.

- Olive – 1 pc.

- Lettuce – 2 leaves.
How to cook:
1. Cut the pork into cubes with a side size of 0.5 – 0.7 cm, put in a salad bowl.

With the reverse side of the metal part from the confectionery syringe or a suitable lid, make “eyes” out of bread. Put the parts of the muzzle on the salad.
