Writer Alexander Kuprin wrote his story “The Garnet Bracelet” back in 1910. It tells about unhappy unrequited love. The decorated salad resembles a wonderful decoration that the main character Vera Nikolaevna Sheina received as a gift from a secret admirer.

This original dish was especially popular in the 80s of the 20th century; now it is prepared less often. But if you want to surprise your family or guests, make a “Garnet Bracelet” and your loved ones will be delighted.

Today there are many variations of the recipe. First, we will describe in detail the classic recipe with a photo, then a more satisfying version of the salad, and then briefly possible “variations on the theme” and ideas on how else you can diversify the dish.

Layer order:

Now we decorate our salad with the seeds of two pomegranates (we leave a few seeds for the inside of the ring). Next, carefully remove the glass and decorate our “Pomegranate Bracelet” with the remaining seeds.

You don’t have to decorate the inside with pomegranate. In the photo you can see how the dish will look with different designs. The choice is yours!

Place the finished salad in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.

You can use dill sprigs for serving.

Once the layers are soaked, you can serve to your guests!

Salad variations and little culinary tricks

1. Try preparing the meat differently: for example, you can salt and pepper the chicken and leave it to marinate for an hour, and then just fry it, and fry the onion in the same oil;
2. Instead of meat, you can boil and cut into cubes veal heart or liver;
3. If you are on a diet, mayonnaise can be replaced with natural yogurt or mixed halfway with sour cream;
4. If you don't like pomegranate seeds, you can try replacing the pomegranate with lingonberries;
5. There is a salad option with fish. In this case, the following ingredients are used: canned fish (for example, tuna) or lightly salted red fish; apples (preferably sour ones, such as Semerenki); chicken eggs, grated with cheese; onion; Mayonnaise and sour cream are mixed for dressing. The layers are laid in the following sequence: fish, half the cheese-egg mixture, onions, apples, the rest of the cheese and egg. Each layer is also coated with dressing, and at the end the salad is decorated with pomegranate;
6. If you are a vegetarian, then the meat can be replaced with coarsely grated hard cheese. You can add a crushed clove of garlic to it and make a layer of pickled cucumbers;
7. The salad turns out to be very light if you use boiled beef tongue as a meat ingredient. Vegetables can be baked in the oven in foil. Peeled pine nuts are added to the beets. Finely chopped onion should be scalded in boiling water (after this procedure it becomes soft and not bitter). The layers in this version will be the following: potatoes, onions, carrots, tongue, egg, cheese, beets with nuts. Each layer is smeared with mayonnaise. The laid salad is traditionally decorated with pomegranate seeds and, if desired, fresh herbs.

For example, the seeds themselves perfectly cleanse the intestines. Pomegranate is useful for people suffering from high blood pressure; Due to its high iron content, it also normalizes hemoglobin levels in the blood.

Pomegranate contains a huge amount of vitamins, diabetics can eat it, and pomegranate juice cleanses blood vessels of atherosclerotic plaques.
