Each layer of water mayonnaise in small amounts (it is better to make a mesh), salt to taste. If the mayonnaise is already sufficiently salty, then you can not add salt. Top with eggs and pepper a little. Now it remains to make the last layer - oil. Frozen oil, grate on a fine grater and quickly sprinkle with the resulting shavings salad, until it melts.

Put in the fridge so that the oil does not melt. On top decorate with a sprig of parsley or dill.
