Horseradish Chicken Salad
A fairly simple salad will be a great addition to a modest family feast. If your family is thoroughly fed up with the olivier and the familiar “fur coat”, then this salad of smoked chicken breasts will be an equally tasty alternative. You can cook horseradish yourself or take it ready. A home-made product, of course, is preferable, as it is more fragrant and vigorous. For salad, take:
- a couple of carrots;
- smoked breast of one chicken;
- five eggs;
- onion;
- five small potato tubers;
- mayonnaise.
The main cooking time is spent on boiling eggs and vegetables. We start to cook:
- Dice the onions and marinate in a solution of vinegar with sugar, cloves and bay leaf for a couple of hours.
- Cut the potatoes into cubes, rub the carrots on a coarse grater.
- Grind the breast into small cubes.
- Cover the bottom of a flat dish with a thin layer of horseradish.
- Spread smoked breast salad in layers: potato - mayonnaise - breast - onion - carrot - mayonnaise - grated eggs.
