Good afternoon, dear readers and lovers of cooking, something delicious! I want to share with you an old recipe for a salad called “Royal”, which, as they say, was adored by the very famous and wealthy kings and their princesses and treated their guests to it, they were delighted (try it and you will see for yourself). Although the name itself sounds very pompous and prestigious, it seems that preparing this simple and very tasty salad requires a lot of time and very exotic products. In fact, not everything is simple, these products are one hundred percent in our daily diet: eggs, onion, apple, a little walnut (but you can do without it), hard cheese.
Preparing the ingredients for the Royal salad
To prepare this salad we need:
- 2-3 Boiled eggs (hard-boiled – cook in boiling water for 8-10 minutes);
- Pickled onions (blue onions are also suitable if you don’t like the aftertaste);
- 1-2 Apples;
- Hard cheese 50% – 150 grams;
- Mayonnaise sauce from the store 50 or 60 percent (or homemade mayonnaise);
- 2-3 pieces of walnuts (optional).
Preparing the salad: layer by layer
Slat has a perfect taste thanks to the simple and important order of preparing the layers of ingredients. Namely, we spread all the ingredients above in thin layers and additionally cover each layer with a thin layer of mayonnaise sauce in the form of a grid or checkerboard.
First layer.
To do this, cut the eggs into strips (you can also cut them into half rings) and place them evenly in one layer across the entire surface of the plate. In this way, we lay the foundation stones for the salad of kings and cover it with mayonnaise sauce using a net.
Second layer.
After covering the previous layer with mayonnaise sauce, the pickled onion is crumbled and placed in a single layer and also covered with mayonnaise.
Third layer.
Grate the apple on a coarse grater and crumble a little walnuts (if desired), then place the next layer of apples and nuts on the plate of the future salad and cover it all with a thin layer of mayonnaise sauce.
The fourth, final layer .
Grate hard cheese on a small grater, or grate the previous cheese right over the plate, then the appearance of the last layer of cheese will be better due to the natural elasticity after grating. Again, if desired, we can cover the cheese with a thin mesh of mayonnaise sauce and grate walnuts on top if you like more nuts.

You can also decorate the salad with a decorative onion or kiwi on top, because green looks very nice against the yellow top layer of cheese. I know that when decorated with small cherry tomatoes, it also looks very contrasting against the yellow soft carpet of cheese.
My guests are always very happy with this salad and everyone asks me for the recipe, which is why I decided to share it with you here. By the way, royal salad used to be eaten only on holidays because of the high cost of cheese and nuts.
And may you enjoy it every day!
