Step-by-step cooking
Step 1:
How to make a salad with smoked chicken and bell pepper? Prepare the ingredients we need according to the recipe. Wash the arugula, first "bathing" in a large bowl with water, then under running water. Be sure to dry the leaves well with paper towels so that the excess liquid does not spoil the salad.
Step 2:
Wash the pepper under the tap, dry it and cut it into thin rings or small pieces, depending on the variety.
Step 3:
Cut the smoked chicken into thin slices. I have a smoked breast, but meat from any part of the chicken will do.
Step 4:
Wash tomatoes, dry, cut into quarters.
Step 5:
Put arugula leaves on a dish, spread pepper rings on top. If for some reason you do not like arugula, it can be replaced with any other salad leaves to your taste.
Step 6:
Next, lay out the chicken slices and tomato quarters.
Step 7:
Garnish the salad with olives. Season with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and spices. Immediately serve to the table so that the vegetables do not let the juice. Bon appetit!
I liked the salad with smoked chicken and pepper because it cooks quickly, looks beautiful and tastes extremely interesting.
This salad is suitable for a picnic, as well as for a festive table. It is especially good if unexpected guests appear on the threshold or in a situation when you need to cook something interesting, but very quickly. The main thing is that the right ingredients are at hand.
Well, if the necessary components were not found, it does not matter either. This salad is still very good for inventing new options on its own topic. Arugula can be replaced not only with other varieties of salads, but also with Peking cabbage. Smoked chicken can be replaced or combined with balyk, smoked brisket, smoked turkey, etc. And if for some reason you do not eat smoked meat, they can be replaced with boiled meat (any that you like). You can even use the remains of fried meat (or, for example, not eaten baked chicken the day before), this happens especially often during the holidays. The taste of the salad, of course, will change, but it will also be very interesting.
Instead of olive oil, the salad can be filled with any salad dressings to your taste (here you will have to experiment and understand how neutral or bright the dressing should be in order not to "argue" with other components, especially if it is smoked).
Choose juicy tomatoes, but dense. Soft fruits do not keep their shape well, in the process of slicing and cooking they will spread into a shapeless mass and spoil the appearance of the dish.
How to choose the right olives? It is better to buy the product in a transparent package. So you can see their appearance and color. If the olives are too black, then food dyes have been added. The fruits should be elastic, whole, with a smooth, shiny skin. Too soft, overripe olives will not be stored for a long time.
Since the degree of salinity, sweetness, bitterness, sharpness, acid, burning is individual for everyone, always add spices, spices and seasonings, focusing on your taste! If you put some of the seasonings for the first time, then keep in mind that there are spices that it is especially important not to shift (for example, chili pepper).
