- Cheese Spread 5 oz
- Mayonnaise 5 oz

Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1
Slice the salad onion (white or red — it doesn't matter) into thin half-rings, pour 2/3 of it with one tablespoon of olive oil and two tablespoons of wine vinegar. Then, season with salt and pepper, sprinkle with chopped green onion, mix, and let it marinate in the refrigerator.
Step 2
Boil the rice, adding a spoonful of chicken broth powder to the boiling water. Open the tuna can, drain the water, and mash it with a fork.
Step 3
Finely chop the remaining onion, add a couple of crushed garlic cloves, and mix with the tuna. Chop the boiled eggs even finer than the onion, mix with the liver (without the oil from it) and a teaspoon of mustard. Mash with a fork to achieve a more or less homogeneous mass.
Step 4
Crush a couple of garlic cloves, mix with mayonnaise and boiled rice. Grate the cheese on a fine grater. The type of cheese is at the cook's discretion.
Step 5
Finally, start assembling (in a deep plate or salad bowl). Divide the rice into two parts: set one aside, and spread the other as a dense layer on the bottom. Then comes a layer of tuna with onion and garlic, followed by another layer of rice, then the egg with liver, and finally — cheese. Place the assembled salad in the refrigerator for an hour or more.
Step 6
Before serving the salad, drain the marinated onion, generously sprinkle it on top of the salad, and serve the remaining onion separately.
