A delicious and nutritious salad will come to the rescue, which will pleasantly surprise guests and help you to get an unrivaled hostess out of this situation.
Ingredients for Salad Preparation
When preparing a salad of smoked chicken breast and corn, we prepare the products for six servings.
We will need:
- corn (preferably canned);
- one chicken smoked breast;
- two hundred grams of ham;
- some chicken eggs;
- a few pieces of cherry tomatoes;
- a glass of homemade mayonnaise;
- three tablespoons of chopped parsley;
- a couple of tablespoons of chopped basil.
Cooking method
To prepare a simple salad with smoked breast and corn, taking into account the preparation of products, you will need only forty minutes.
First of all, you need to boil the eggs. They must be hard boiled. Put the corn on a colander so that all the glass is glass. Otherwise, the salad may turn out to be watery. And the mayonnaise that is present in it may stratify due to the large presence of liquid. Rinse the cherry tomatoes under running water, put on a paper towel so that the glass is full of water.
It is better to use low-fat mayonnaise so that the salad is not too high in calories. If you want the salad to be more healthy, it is advisable to use homemade mayonnaise.
Next, we start cutting all the ingredients.
We lay the salad one by one in layers, each of which is coated with mayonnaise. Grate the eggs. For lack of a grater, you can use a manual shredder for eggs. One yolk can be grated separately from the protein and used as a decoration.
Slice the tomatoes. Ham and chicken breast are best cut into thin strips.
Now we start to spread the salad. We spread tomatoes with the first layer. But at the same time, we do not use everything to stay one more layer. Next, coat it with mayonnaise and sprinkle with basil. From above we put part of the corn, grease with mayonnaise and sprinkle with grated eggs. Again, grease the layer with mayonnaise and spread the ham on it, which we sprinkle with parsley. Next, a layer of corn, tomato, eggs, which we coat with our white sauce and sprinkle with basil, alternating it with parsley.
The top layer is laid out with chicken breast. From above it is smeared with mayonnaise, but in order to make the top layer look more beautiful, it is smeared with a net and sprinkled with grated yolk. If desired, smoked breast and corn salad can be decorated with fresh basil leaves. It is advisable to leave the finished dish for 15-20 minutes in the refrigerator, but you can also immediately serve it on the table.
Smoked breast, corn and cheese salad
To prepare a salad, a set of products is used, which is basic for many different recipes. In any of them, the salad can become an ordinary dish or decoration of the festive table. You can lay out the ingredients in layers, or you can just mix them in a salad bowl. You can decorate the dish with herbs, cheese or pomegranate kernels.
Essential Ingredients
Smoked breast, corn and cheese salad for 6 servings.
So, we take:
- a pound of chicken breast;
- a glass of homemade mayonnaise;
- two hundred and fifty grams of canned corn;
- one hundred grams of hard cheese;
- steamed tomato;
- a couple of eggs;
- a couple of cloves of garlic;
- ¼ teaspoon ground pepper;
- salt;
- greens;
- spice.
Cooking process
Before you start preparing chicken breast salad with corn and hard cheese, we prepare all the ingredients.
Chicken must be peeled, separated from bone and cartilage.
We prepare the eggs in the usual way, but do not forget to clear all kinds of films.
Rinse the tomatoes and then blanch. The blanching process helps peel the tomato. To do this, boil water in a small container. Dip the tomato in boiling water with a spoon or a small sieve for a few seconds so that it does not boil. First, at the base of the tomato, you need to make a small cut with a knife. After you dip the tomato in boiling water, in the area where the cut is made, the skin will begin to lag on its own. You just need to grab it carefully by the tip so as not to burn your fingers, and peel the whole tomato. Before chopping a tomato for a salad, it should cool slightly.
Peel and squeeze the garlic with a garlic press or grate.
We grate hard cheese.
Now we begin to lay out the layers of lettuce.
The first layer is smoked chicken breast, cut into small cubes. Each layer must be smeared with mayonnaise and sprinkled with a small amount of garlic.
The second layer is corn, which is pre-cooked and freed from excess fluid.
The next layer spread the tomatoes, diced. It is not necessary to coat them with mayonnaise, but it is better to pepper and salt. We put finely chopped eggs on the tomatoes, and already lubricate them. Put the grated cheese on the salad with the last layer and decorate the top with greens at your discretion. Before serving a salad of smoked chicken breast, corn and hard cheese, it must be allowed to soak for half an hour.

Before slicing a tomato, peel it by blanching. Cut and add to the rest of the ingredients.
Onions must be marinated in a separate bowl. To do this, peel it and finely chop it. Marinate in vinegar and spices for 15 minutes. If it turns out to be too acidic, rinse a little under running water before mixing with the rest.
Finely chop all the greens, except for the lettuce leaves and add to all the ingredients. Mix everything and season with oil. Salt and pepper, mix again. We spread on lettuce leaves, on top you can decorate with finely chopped greens.

We prepare the following ingredients for this salad:
- two hundred grams of smoked chicken;
- one can of canned corn;
- three hard boiled eggs;
- two hundred grams of hard cheese;
- sixty grams of white crackers;
- a glass of homemade mayonnaise;

Cooking a gentle salad
In order to make the salad tender, all the ingredients must be finely chopped or grated. The first step is to clean the eggs and rub on a fine grater. Finely chop the prepared smoked chicken breast, and it is better to chop it with a knife across the fibers.
We grate hard cheese on a fine grater. If it breaks, send it in advance for ten minutes to the freezer.
Salad can be laid out in layers, each smearing with mayonnaise, or you can mix all the ingredients at once and put it in a salad bowl. And in that, and in another case, crackers must be added immediately before serving, so that they remain crispy. But before adding them, let the salad soak for about 20 minutes. You can decorate with finely chopped dill or lay it with twigs.
