It is difficult to imagine any feast without different and very tasty salads. These dishes will be appropriate on weekdays. Which is very convenient: you can cook almost any salad in advance and leave it to infuse in the refrigerator, which is why its taste will not only not suffer, but also improve. But sometimes the usual recipes get bored, and you want something new and unusual. Why not make an unusual salad - with walnuts and chicken?
Chicken, prunes and nuts ...
The preparation of this dish will take very little time, but the result will certainly surprise everyone with whom you decide to share a meal. This recipe is somewhat reminiscent of the classic "Tenderness." We begin to prepare a
salad with walnuts and chicken with the primary processing of the components. Drain the prunes for a couple of minutes in boiling water, then rinse well and allow to dry, then cut into thin strips. Grind walnut kernels to a crumb. Boil chicken and eggs until cooked. When they have cooled, remove the skin and shell, cut into small pieces. Cheese, too, cut into cubes or chopped on a coarse grater, do the same with a sour apple. All components can be immediately mixed and seasoned or layered, separated by mayonnaise. In this case, the sequence is: chicken, cheese, egg, apple, prunes and nuts. Ready salad can be decorated with greens, before serving, it is recommended to put it in the refrigerator for at least a couple of hours.
Salad “Chicken, walnuts, cheese and pineapple”
A very unusual and delicate salad can be made from chicken, pineapple and walnuts. The meat must be boiled until cooked or baked in the oven. Then cut into small pieces. You can pepper the chicken to taste. We spread the chopped meat as the first layer, pour a little mayonnaise on it. Cut canned pineapples into small pieces, put on chicken, also greased with mayonnaise. The next layer is the eggs, they need to be boiled hard and grated. Salad with walnuts and chicken will turn out tastier if the nuts that form the next layer are soaked in boiling water before chopping. Then rub them on a fine grater or chop. The last layer is
grated cheese. If you put the salad on a flat dish, you can also mask the sides of the resulting slide with cheese. To prevent the salad from crumbling, use a removable baking dish.
Fresh salad with walnuts and chicken
To prepare this dish, it is very important to chop nuts until smooth. Some housewives even use a coffee grinder or a special hand mill for this. The recipe involves mixing all the components, and not laying them out in layers, so we take a convenient container and cut all the products into it. Grind boiled chicken and boiled eggs. Then we chop the lettuce in thin strips
, but it can be replaced with a Beijing or iceberg. To taste, you can add a little different greens - for example, dill or cilantro. Add walnuts to the chopped ingredients and mix. To give the dish spicy notes, sprinkle it with lemon juice. Before serving, season with mayonnaise and put on top some rye crackers. This is a very beneficial combination - chicken with walnuts. Salad can also be made more satisfying if you add a little cheese to it.
