Method

Boil potatoes² and carrots³ in their skins for 20–25 minutes until tender, cool for 15 minutes, peel, and grate separately.
Poach chicken⁴ breast in water with salt for 18–20 minutes after boiling until the juices run clear when pierced. Cool and finely chop.
Hard-boil an egg for 9–10 minutes, cool, peel, and grate. Grate the beet and chop the nuts.
Place a glass in the center of a flat platter. Layer potato², chicken⁴, carrot³, egg, nuts, and beet, brushing each layer lightly with mayonnaise and seasoning with salt and pepper.
Top with pomegranate⁸ seeds, gently press down with a spoon, and carefully remove the glass.
Chill the salad for 30 minutes to set the layers and hold the ring shape.

Tips

Why it works: Boil the potatoes and carrots in their skins so they don't darken and keep their shape when grated. Cool them before peeling, otherwise the skins get slippery and hard to remove.
Substitutions: Use pine nuts (8 g) or hazelnuts (10 g) instead of walnuts. Instead of pomegranate, use kiwi slices (50 g), but you lose the "bracelet" effect.
Common mistakes: If the ring falls apart when you lift the glass, the layers weren't coated tightly enough with mayonnaise or the salad wasn't chilled for 30 minutes before cutting.
Storing and reheating: Keep for 2 days in the fridge, covered with film. Reheat in the microwave for 1–1.5 minutes, but it's better eaten fresh, as the layers go soft.
Serve with: Serve with shashlik or at New Year, when you need a neat, hearty salad on a large platter.
