Today I want to share with you recipes for several salads. What is the most interesting? They have the same name - Autumn Salad, but they are very different in composition and preparation. The question immediately arises, why different salads were not given a different name? Here you can only guess what this or that cook was guided by. Let's try to figure it out.
Autumn Salad: the first recipe. To prepare it, we need any boiled meat (I take chicken breast) - 200 grams, boiled eggs in the amount of two pieces, tomatoes, two pieces, salad leaves (you can use leaves from Beijing cabbage), any crackers from the store and mayonnaise a couple of tablespoons . Rusks can also be cooked in the oven. To do this, simply fry the bread, previously cut into cubes and seasoned with spices (I sometimes do this). Now let's start the cooking process. Cut the meat into strips and spread on lettuce leaves, pre-laid on a plate. Next, we spread a layer of mayonnaise and put finely chopped eggs on it. Then we cut the tomatoes into cubes and grease them with mayonnaise again. It remains to sprinkle with croutons on top and decorate beautifully with greens. The salad is ready to eat. It is best to lay crackers before serving, otherwise they will get wet and the whole taste of the autumn salad will be lost. Well, did anyone guess why the salad is named after this time of year? Maybe just for the first time such a salad was prepared in the fall.
Autumn Salad: the second recipe. To make this salad, you will need the following foods:
fresh champignons or other mushrooms - 300 grams,
one green apple
dark grapes - 300 grams,
a pair of tarragon twigs,
lemon,
olive oil - four tablespoons,
salt and black pepper.
We cut the grapes into two parts and remove all the seeds from them. We cut the apples into cubes. Next, squeeze the juice from the lemon and sprinkle apples and grapes with it. Cut the mushrooms into slices and add to the rest of the products. Sprinkle with salt, chopped tarragon and pepper, mix everything. Autumn Salad is ready to eat. True, it should immediately be served on the table until the apples have darkened and become soft. Due to the presence of grapes and mushrooms in the salad, it immediately becomes clear why the salad acquired such a name. Is not it?
The third salad is Autumn, with chicken, mushrooms and pickled cucumbers. To prepare this salad, you need one chicken breast or chicken, mushrooms (champignons) 150 grams, one onion and carrot, homemade pickled cucumbers or gherkins several pieces, canned corn 4 tablespoons, two eggs, dressing mayonnaise, any greens, a couple of cloves garlic, roasted sunflower oil, salt and ground black pepper. First boil the chicken meat, then separate it from the bone and cut into thin strips. While the chicken is being cooked, we clean the mushrooms and cut them into slices. Grind the onion, and rub the carrots on a coarse grater. Now mushrooms, onions, carrots must be separately fried in sunflower oil, although you can mix everything together, the salad will not lose its taste from this. Separately, in a saucepan, boil the eggs, then rub them on a grater. We prepare the corn by draining the liquid from a can first. And do not forget to cut the cucumbers into cubes. In a separate bowl, mix finely chopped greens, garlic and mayonnaise. Now that all the ingredients are ready, you can lay out layer by layer on a dish, not forgetting to grease each layer with the resulting sauce. You can decorate such a salad to your liking. For example, it would be nice to lay out any ornament characteristic of autumn from corn and greens. This salad is called "Autumn", I think, because of its composition, although at present all the ingredients can be freely purchased in supermarkets.
I want to offer another recipe for a note - this is Rhapsody salad. It is simply delicious, delicate and original. To prepare it, take:
boiled chicken fillet - 200 grams,
pickled mushrooms - 200 grams,
cheese - 100 grams,
one apple
two tomatoes and mayonnaise.
Such a salad should be laid out in layers: first, chicken, finely chopped, then mushrooms. This is followed by an apple, grated, tomatoes, diced, and grated cheese. We beautifully decorate such a salad and serve it to the table. Such Autumn Salad is good both for dinner and on the holiday table.
