How to make a delicious salad with smoked breast and fresh cucumber? Very simple and fast. First, prepare the necessary ingredients according to the list. Meat with smoked breasts can be replaced with meat from the lower legs or legs. Cheese can be taken by anyone who likes it to taste.
Wash the cucumbers, dry and cut into small straws or small cubes. The skin, if it is not hard, not damaged and not bitter, is not necessary to cut off. One long cucumber can be replaced with 2 short cucumbers.
Wash the Beijing cabbage, dry and cut into strips. You can cut a whole head or disassemble it into separate leaves. If you want the salad to be more delicate, cut the white parts in the center of the leaf.
Clean the smoked breast from skin and bones and cut into small pieces. You can just disassemble the meat into fibers. Smoked chicken can be replaced with regular boiled or fried fillet.
Boil the eggs hard-boiled, chill and peel. Divide into squirrels and yolks. Grate the whites on a coarse grater or cut into small straws.
Rub the yolks on a fine grater. You can rub the yolks immediately, but it's better right on the salad, then they will be more airy.
Grate the cheese on a coarse or medium grater.
Place a cooking ring with a diameter of 12-16 cm on a plate. Lay out the ingredients in layers. First, lay out the smoked chicken and brush the mayonnaise over the top. I transferred the mayonnaise into a pastry bag to make it more convenient to apply to the salad.
Next, rinsing each layer with mayonnaise, lay out fresh cucumber, grated cheese, crushed proteins. If desired, you can sprinkle the layers with salt and pepper. But I don't usually add spices to mayonnaise salads.
Put grated yolks on the whites. I rubbed them on top on a fine grater. Pour mayonnaise over the yolks.
The last layer is crushed Beijing cabbage. You don't need to water it with mayonnaise. Put the salad in the fridge for 1 hour. If you don't have the time and desire to lay out the salad in layers, you can simply combine all the ingredients in the salad bowl, season with mayonnaise and mix.
Remove the cooking ring before serving. Decorate the salad with chicken smoked breast and fresh cucumber with cherry tomatoes and herbs to taste. Enjoy your meal!
