Salad “Goat in the Garden”

Ukrainian salad recipe, chicken vegetables salad, Goat in the Garden

This Ukrainian salad is very attractive and delicious. It is one of my favorite foods to bring to potlucks and parties, but sometimes I  just make it at home to surprise my American friends. You can easily adjust the size of the salad as it has equal parts of almost all ingredients.

 

 

This salad comes with a story and with a special presentation, so it is especially fun to do when your guests have children.  I was always asked why it has such a name – Goat in the Garden?  So, here is how you present this salad and the story.

 

You prepare the salad without mixing of the ingredients as shown in the main picture. Tell your guests that the salad represents a beautiful garden where different vegetables grow. Then a goat comes and starts making a mess in the garden, mixing everything with his horns while you mix all of the ingredients together.  This salad and its presentation are always fun for adults but of course, the children are especially interested in this fun story.
