Never exceed the dosage of decoctions, otherwise there will be an increase in pressure, dizziness, blurred vision and convulsions. In addition, the organic acids of pomegranate juice can greatly destroy tooth enamel. Therefore, always dilute the juice with water.
HOW TO CHOOSE A FRUIT. The "correct" pomegranate should be dry on the outside and juicy on the inside. This means that ripe fruit the crust should be slightly dried and slightly tight grains. If the crust is smooth, the pomegranate was picked ahead of time. In addition to the peel, pay attention to the "ass" of the pomegranate - the place where the flower grew: there should not be greenery. Lastly, the pomegranate should be firm to the touch. If it is soft, it means that it was beaten on the road, rotted or frozen. Immediately discard such a fruit, it will not bring any pleasure or benefit.

Salad Pomegranate bracelet combines rich taste and interesting presentation. This is one of those recipes where the serving is strictly standardized, and makes this salad easily recognizable. Just like "Herring under a fur coat", "Mimosa" or "Sunflower".
The name of the salad was due to one of the main ingredients. If others can still be replaced or completely removed from this dish (which, in general, is also not recommended), then pomegranate should be a priori here. And since it is the last - top - layer, it turns out as a result on a plate, in the literal sense, a garnet bracelet. True, not from precious stones, but very tasty.
Ingredients
The recipe for the "Garnet Bracelet" is given in proportion to 4 people. But if it is prepared not for a family dinner, but for a festive table with guests, the amount of food can be safely increased three times. And although there will be other appetizers at the feast, as well as certainly delicious main courses, the Pomegranate Bracelet will be one of the first to sell - there is no doubt about it.
Advice! This salad is layered, so it's better to prepare it in advance, and not just before serving. It is better if it stands in the refrigerator and soaks during this time. It should be covered with cling film beforehand so that it does not absorb foreign odors.
So, the recipe for this salad begins with a list of ingredients:
- beef fillet - 500 g;
- potatoes - 3 pcs.;
- beets - 2 pcs.;
- chicken eggs - 2 pcs.;
- onions - 2 pcs.;
- carrots - 2 pcs.;
- mayonnaise - 250 ml;
- pomegranate - 1 pc.;
- walnuts - 50 g;
- salt pepper.
Food preparation
You can start preparing the salad the day before, because the first process here is the longest: you need to boil the meat. Peppercorns and bay leaves can be added to boiling water - then the meat will be more aromatic. Boil it until done. Cool down.
Advice! The water in which the meat was cooked should not be poured out. This is a ready-made meat broth that will be an excellent base for any soup. In addition, dumplings can be boiled in the broth - then they will become even more fragrant, or you can even freeze it.
While the meat is cooking, the rest of the ingredients are cooked in another bowl: beets, carrots, potatoes and eggs. If you do this in one pan, then beets are placed first, as they are cooked the longest. When the beets are half cooked, add the carrots and potatoes to the same place. Much depends on the size of vegetables: if you take not 2 medium, but 4 small beets, then they will cook much faster, and then the rest of the ingredients can be laid in 7-10 minutes.
Eggs are added last, although some people prefer to boil them in a separate bowl.
After cooking, remove the vegetables from the water and leave to cool. Do not fill them with cold water - this, of course, will speed up the cooling process, but microelements are released into the water, which are best left in vegetables.
Roast the nuts in a dry frying pan, chop in a convenient way.
Lettuce Assembly
Finely chop the meat, season with spices and put on a wide, flat dish. Pit should be laid out in a ring - so that the space in the middle remains free. It is easier to maintain the desired shape if you put a vase or glass in the center of the dish. But such dishes should have either even walls or tapering to the base: otherwise, when you try to get the dishes, you can violate the aesthetics of the already existing bracelet shape.
The meat is covered with a thin mayonnaise mesh. A layer of mayonnaise can be pressed down with the back of a tablespoon so that it adheres more to the main ingredient. Sometimes you can find a recipe where the sauce is immediately offered to spread with a spoon.
Advice! For the "Pomegranate Bracelet" it is better to take mayonnaise in the simplest package, without a built-in "spout" from which the mayonnaise comes out in a thick layer. By cutting off a corner of 1x1 cm, you can achieve the desired thickness of the mesh.
The second layer is boiled potatoes, chopped into cubes; spices, mayonnaise. Next - similarly chopped boiled carrots, spices, nuts, mayonnaise. The next layer is grated eggs, and sauce again. Next - grated beets, salt. Apply mayonnaise in a thicker layer, not only on the beets, but also on the outer sides of the lettuce. Sprinkle generously with pomegranate seeds so that no white sauce is visible between them.
As you can see, this recipe does not involve complex manipulations: it is more difficult to prepare vegetables than to arrange them in one dish.
What can be replaced and how?
Like any salad that has taken root in many families, the Pomegranate Bracelet recipe has changed over time, and now you can find very numerous variations. So, sometimes it is suggested to add chopped garlic to mayonnaise - this gives the sauce more piquancy, goes well with meat, beets, and potatoes. But such a component implies a certain “flavor”, which will not please everyone. Another recipe suggests replacing mayonnaise with sour cream.
Boiled beef can be replaced with tongue, chicken or smoked chicken. It is not at all necessary to choose any one recipe - if you alternate these ingredients when preparing the Pomegranate Bracelet, the salad will always be a little different, and variety is great. However, there is another option: it uses ... sprats instead of meat!
Onions can be cut into half rings and marinated in vinegar - then it will feel better and remain crispy. And you can also fry it with a tablespoon of butter (butter or vegetable) - this will give it a different taste.
To make the structure of the dish more uniform, you can add a layer of grated cheese. And if you add greens to the recipe, the salad will turn out to be more spicy.
But the easiest way to bring something new to the "Garnet Bracelet" is not to look for a new recipe, but simply to change the order of the layers. It seems nothing significant, but the result may surprise. In this case, you can change everything except the top layer: the whole bracelet is still garnet.
Pomegranate is a very useful fruit for the body. It is rich in various vitamins and microelements. And this means that if you add this fruit to a salad, then it automatically becomes much healthier. No wonder it is called "royal".
Pomegranate goes well with meat, mushrooms, cheese, nuts, vegetables, so it will be appropriate for many salads. Perhaps not everyone will like the bones, but after trying a salad with this fruit, even the most ordinary one, you are unlikely to cook without it. And the bright color of the grains will help the dish sparkle with new colors and even add festivity.
To make the salad a success, it’s not enough just to add a pomegranate. First you need to choose it correctly, then clean it, and then use it correctly. When you need to choose a pomegranate, then first of all, you need to pay attention to its peel. It should be dry, thin, not rotten, and in no case be green and thick. Also, if the pomegranate is heavy, it will be juicy. And how to properly clean it and use it in salads - this is described below.
