Among the festive variety at the solemn table, there must be a salad “Pleasure”. The delicate and refined taste of the dish will win the hearts and stomachs of all who try it. In preparation, the salad is quite simple, so even a novice cook can create it.
True, you need to clarify that the same name is quite a lot of salads. It is understandable: this definition is suitable for many dishes. We have compiled all the options that are worth mentioning. Even those that are fundamentally different in composition from the variant most known by this name.
Salad "Enjoyment": a classic recipe
A dish is called a classic solely because its recipe is the most common. Take half a kilogram of chicken, cooked until cooked and cut into medium-sized cubes. When cooking, it is advisable to flavor the broth with spices to give the meat a brighter flavor. The amount of champignons equal to chicken is also cooked and crumbles in proportion to meat. Pieces Five medium-sized pickled cucumbers are chopped similarly. If the seeds are large, and the skin is rough, they are first disposed of. A weighty bunch of green onions is chopped, everything is mixed and flavored with mayonnaise. For greater beauty, with a festive serving, the main components are laid out in layers, with smearing and pouring with a beam.
The most famous improvements
Each has their own taste preferences, and so that the Pleasure salad matches their title, the housewives adapt it to their family preferences. Most often, pickled cucumbers are replaced by salted ones - this is suitable for those who disapprove of vinegar. You can also experiment with mushrooms: take fried or pickled. Often, the approach to chicken also changes: many prefer smoked breast.
We remember that cooking is an art, and we are not shy about being creative.
Pineapple Enjoyment
Very many housewives simply cannot imagine the described dish without canned fruit. The most popular salad is “Enjoyment” with pineapple. The main components remain the same, only the mass of mushrooms is reduced to a third of a kilogram. Instead of harvested, an exotic fruit is taken and cut in the same pieces as the rest of the components. Many for this version of the salad, instead of spring onions, introduce white salad, pickled for five minutes in lemon juice (in no case in vinegar!).
Another version of the salad
This time we are preparing a radically different dish. The only thing that unites them is also “Pleasure” salad with chicken, like the previous ones. Only here it is absolutely necessary to take a smoked bird. All the ingredients will be laid out in layers, with drawing on each thin mayonnaise mesh.
- A gram of two hundred finely chopped chicken.
- Three coarsely grated hard-boiled eggs.
- A couple of spoons of not too spicy Korean carrots.
- Canned peaches cut into thin strips. It is recommended to take two halves, but then you have to be guided by your own taste: many take more.
- The remaining chicken, about the same as left in the first layer.
- Grated hard cheese like Russian cheese, about 100 grams.
Before being transferred to the table, the Salad Salad should stand in the refrigerator for at least an hour. Taste - conquering even gourmets.
Refined “Enjoyment”
Pretty rare recipe. And quite unusual for our people. At the same time, those who cooked it, believe that only this salad is worthy to be called pleasure. The most difficult thing about it is refueling. For the sauce, one hundred grams of good raisins are poured for an hour with an equal volume of cognac and a tablespoon of heated water. Then the dried fruit is filtered off, and the cognac is mixed with a tablespoon of mustard, mashed until smooth with a spoon of vinegar (preferably wine), two - olive oil, curry, pepper and salt (seasoning to your taste). The dish is spread on lettuce leaves, the same amount is cut into strips and mixed with cubes half a kilogram of boiled breast and two avocados. The mixture is laid out on the leaves, sprinkled with raisins, soaked in cognac, and chopped almonds (half a glass). Dressing with prepared sauce - and the Pleasure salad is given to aesthetes for testing. Naturally, the dish is intended exclusively for use by adults.
Crab version
Note that the “Enjoyment” salad does not have to be cooked with chicken. There are recipes in which pork tastes better. And this dish is for seafood lovers. For a salad, a 200-gram package of crab meat is taken. In extreme cases, sticks will come down, but it’s better to be generous with a natural product. The meat is separated, if necessary, large parts are cut. Five eggs are boiled; for this dish, it’s important not to crush them, as we are used to, but to cut into large slices - one egg into 6-8 slices. Large tomato is similarly prepared. Garlic is grated or finely chopped (pressing is not recommended). All components are combined, the salad is poured with light mayonnaise. Dinner is served!
