• Step 4 We rub the cheese on a grater with a thin shavings.
• Step 5 Finely chop onion and pour boiling water for 3 minutes so that bitterness is gone.
• Step 6 Apple three on a coarse grater. If the apples are treated with wax and the peel is firm, then it is better to clean them.
• Step 7 Prunes, if soft and plastic, washed with water, dried and finely chopped. Dried, rough to the touch prunes need to pre-soak in hot water to restore the plasticity, and only then cut.
• Step 8 We will have a salad puff, for its assembly we need a large flat dish of oval or round shape. We mix the chicken with onion, put the first layer in the form of a horn and slightly lubricate the top with mayonnaise.
• Step 9 We lay eggs in the second layer and also lubricate with mayonnaise.

• Step 11 Cheese or mix with mayonnaise in a plate and then lay, or simply put on the mayonnaise mesh, since it is not easy to smear it, it can be collected in lumps.
• Step 12 Thereafter goes prunes, it is evenly distributed over the cheese layer and lightly greased with mayonnaise. Put the salad in the fridge soaked for 1-2 hours, covered with food film.
• Step 13 Cut off the tip with mayonnaise (for home-made mayonnaise you need a confectionery syringe) and apply a diamond-shaped grid around the "horn". Walnuts roasted, cleaned from the film and put the large halves in the grid cells. Undivided nuts create a special taste of this salad, and this is its highlight.
• Step 14 Before serving, decorate the salad with a bouquet consisting of parsley greens, tomato rosettes, egg white flowers and olives.
