Chicken eggs, carrots and chicken need to be boiled. The chicken must be in a separate pan, and the water must be salted and spices added - the meat will turn out tastier. Peel hard-boiled eggs and grate on a fine or coarse grater.




Grate hard cheese of any kind on a fine grater. It is better to take cheese slightly salty or salty, but not sweetish and not bland. Spicy cheese with spices is also suitable.




Boiled carrots need to be peeled and grated on a fine grater - you get carrot puree, which will be conveniently distributed over the surface of the salad.






For Carrot salad, it will be more convenient to take chicken fillet or breast, but any part of the chicken will also work. After boiling the bird, cool it and separate the meat from the bones, cut into small pieces.




Prunes are best soaked in warm water if they are dry. Then cut the dried fruit into small cubes.




Take a suitable salad dish. At the very bottom, lay out the pieces of meat in the shape of a cone - this is the basis for carrots. Lightly grease with mayonnaise.






Put the grated chicken eggs in the next layer, make a mayonnaise layer.




Gently arrange the prunes on top of the eggs. Here, a mayonnaise net is not needed.




Now grated hard cheese is next in line, it can crumble when making a salad, so you can use a more simplified option - mix the cheese with mayonnaise and put the mass on top of the salad.




The last layer is grated boiled carrots. Spread it out evenly and in a thin layer.






Make notches on top of the salad, as on a real carrot. From the green onion feathers lay out the carrot "tail". Let the salad brew in a cool place for about an hour or two. Bon appetit!

If this salad is supposed to be a children's dish, of course, there can be no talk of any smoked breast - only boiled chicken or turkey, and it is better to cook homemade mayonnaise, without preservatives.

If the salad is supposed to be served to adults - with smoked breast and cheese, the taste of the salad is much spicier and richer.
