Layered Salad in a Glass

Original, pretty, and party-ready! A salad layered in a glass draws more attention than just about anything else on the table. Serving it this way shows off every layer, and it looks neat and inviting. This recipe uses an interesting pairing of chicken and grapes.

Step 1:

How do you make a layered salad in a glass? Start by gathering your ingredients. Use chicken breast, preferably chilled. Seedless grapes work best. Choose a natural, good-quality cheese with real flavor.
Step 2:

Rinse the chicken breast, pat it very dry, and cut it into small pieces. Fry it in a skillet with the vegetable oil until cooked through, about 15 minutes. Keep the heat at medium and season with salt and curry powder as it cooks.
Step 3:

Grate the cheese on the coarse side of a box grater.
Step 4:

Hard-boil the eggs, cool them, peel, and grate on the coarse side of the grater.
Step 5:

Chop the walnuts. You can use pre-shelled nuts or shell them yourself. Toasting them briefly in a dry skillet first makes them more fragrant.
Step 6:

Wash and dry the grapes, cut each one in half, and remove any seeds.
Step 7:

Layer the salad into glasses, spreading a little mayonnaise and sprinkling walnuts between the layers, in this order: chicken – eggs – cheese.
Step 8:

Arrange the grape halves on top. Chill the salad in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes, then serve. Enjoy!

I've been serving these individual salads in glasses or dessert cups for several years now. Here's one of the most popular ones among my friends. You can make it with boiled chicken, but I really love the combination of pan-fried chicken with nuts and grapes.
How do you hard-boil eggs? To keep them from cracking, place them in cold water and set them over low heat. Boil for 9 minutes once the water comes to a boil, then transfer to cold water to cool. The sudden temperature change makes them easier to peel.
Homemade mayonnaise is worth the effort — it's tastier and better for you. You can also use sour cream or plain yogurt as a dressing instead, either on their own or mixed with the mayonnaise in whatever ratio you like, which cuts the calories.
You can swap the chicken for turkey or any other meat you prefer. Just keep in mind that the cooking time and calorie count will change.
