This saltine cracker layered salad will make the perfect and impressive snack for any party. It’s been a favorite for many people in Poland, and for good reason! It’s simple to make but tastes amazing.

We start with saltine crackers. They get soft and soak up all the yummy flavors. Then we add layers of tuna with mayonnaise, cheese with mayonnaise, and egg whites with mayonnaise. Each layer is creamy and delicious!

On top, we sprinkle crushed egg yolks for extra flavor and color. Then we decorate with radish slices and chives to make it look pretty.

This salad is perfect for parties, holidays, or any time you want a tasty dish that reminds you of home.
