How to make delicious chicken salad. Chicken salads - recipes are simple and tasty, for every day and holidays

Late one evening in 1937, Robert Cobb, owner of the Brown Derby restaurant (Los Angeles), prepared a salad for Sid Grauman, the owner of one of the theaters. He took a few ingredients out of the fridge and chopped them all into small pieces. And so the Cobb salad was born. Since then, Grauman has ordered only this salad, the salad has grown in popularity, and Robert Cobb added it to the restaurant's menu. Variations of this salad are on the menu of restaurants around the world. The main salad ingredients are lettuce, tomatoes, bacon, chicken/turkey, egg, avocado and blue cheese. Serve the salad in a large round plate, laying out all the ingredients separately on lettuce leaves. The salad is not mixed.

Salad Crow's Nest

500 g boiled chicken meat,
100 g fresh (fried) or pickled mushrooms,
mayonnaise,
1-2 tbsp. l. vinegar 6%,

salt and pepper to taste.

Potatoes - large straws, fry until cooked in vegetable oil (you can immediately fry raw until cooked, you can cut the boiled into cubes and fry, but the boiled will crumble). Peel the onion, cut into half rings (thickness - as you like) or quarter rings, marinate in salted vinegar (I add a little more sugar) for 1-2 hours. Cut boiled meat into strips. Cut the protein into thick strips, and grind the yolk with salt, mayonnaise and finely chopped parsley. Divide into 6-7 equal parts and cut into small balls, giving them an oval shape. Put a layer of potatoes on a large flat dish, on it - onions, then meat, mushrooms and squirrels. Pour the surface with mayonnaise, sprinkle with herbs, berries, put "eggs". I water the surface with a chaotic "stream" to create a look of anarchy and not much mayonnaise. I don’t have enough yolks for the “testicles”, I still rub the processed cheese for the mass. All components, as befits a decent crow's nest, are laid out very inaccurately so that "fir-trees-sticks" stick out.

What ingredients do you use to make it delicious?

Chicken meat is remarkable in that it is good in any form: fried, boiled, smoked or stewed. It goes well with all the ingredients that we usually put. Therefore, any hostess can come up with her own original author's recipe and present it to guests for a holiday or just pamper her family and friends. Do not be afraid to show your imagination, it's so nice to come up with something new.
Due to the fact that chicken goes well with many foods, chicken salads are very diverse. You can find both spicy recipes and very original sweet ones, for example with pineapples. They are sweet, so they contrast very well with the chicken, and this makes the dish very distinctive, but very tasty. Another great addition is canned corn. Like canned pineapple, it is sweet and juicy, which pairs very well with meat. Such recipes are more to the taste of women and children.
But you can make the dish spicy: for this, garlic, hot peppers and even horseradish are added. Such recipes are most liked by men. Among all the recipes, puff salad with horseradish and potatoes deserves special attention, which is perfect for a festive table. This is a very successful recipe, although not everyone will like to cook it, because you need to grate horseradish yourself.
Another great addition is pickled onions. Very simple, but it dramatically changes the taste. Not every recipe should pickle onions, but you can experiment at home. To do this, chop the onion, add sugar, vinegar and a little warm water. Let it brew for about 30 minutes, squeeze it out and rinse a little with water. That's all - pickled onions are ready. And if there is no time for pickling, then you can not wash the onions. It usually goes well with salads that include cheese, eggs, and mayonnaise.
Mushrooms are a great addition to chicken salads. You can use fried, pickled or canned. It all depends on the chosen recipe. It will also add cheese well: hard, melted, with mold. As already mentioned, poultry is very versatile, so don't be afraid to use new ingredients.

gas stations

Such salads are also good because absolutely any dressing is suitable for them: from classic mayonnaise to vegetable oil.
Of course, the most delicious sauce is mayonnaise, in which you can add squeezed garlic, black pepper, herbs, vinegar or mustard. But such a salad will come out very high-calorie. And store-bought mayonnaise is not always healthy. In this case, we advise you to prepare a dressing based on vegetable oil.
You can just drizzle with vegetable oil (olive, sunflower or whatever you like), or you can mix it with vinegar, garlic, lemon juice, Worcester or soy sauce, black pepper. You can also make Caesar dressing from grated boiled egg yolks and olive oil. This is a matter of imagination and taste.
Well, if it seems to you that it will come out very simply with vegetable oil, but you still don’t want mayonnaise, then replace it with sour cream, yogurt or even kefir. You can also add other ingredients to them: garlic, herbs, lemon juice, etc.

How to cook meat?

You can put chicken cooked in any way: boiled, fried, stewed, baked, smoked.
If you are on a diet or want to make a diet salad, then boil the fillet in salted water. It is not only low-calorie, but also the easiest option. You can add bay leaf and black pepper to the water for taste, and do not pour out the broth, but use it in cooking other dishes.
It will be very tasty to stew the chicken in a thick-walled pan with black pepper and onions or fry in a pan. You need to fry or stew chicken fillet whole, and not cut into pieces.
Smoked chicken recipes deserve special attention. Buy only fresh meat to make the dish tasty and healthy.

Holiday Options

Chicken salads are prepared for any holiday: birthday, New Year, March 8, etc. There are special requirements for the festive recipes: it must be not only tasty, but also beautiful. In such cases, you should pay attention to puff salads. Recipes are different, but you look especially impressive where the layers are of different colors, for example, there is a layer of boiled carrots, beets, green peas or cucumber. And you can also lay out the ingredients in the shape of a snowman and sprinkle it with grated egg whites on top if it's for the New Year, or in the shape of a heart if it's Valentine's Day. There are a lot of options. In addition, you can simply decorate it with something, for example, tomatoes cut in the shape of a flower, or put on the edges of a cherry.
