Salad with chicken walnuts and cheese

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to make a simple salad with chicken walnuts and cheese? Prepare the necessary ingredients. In addition to chicken fillet, you can use meat from chicken shanks or thighs - the salad will only turn out juicier.

2. Step 2:

   

   Pre-boil chicken fillet until tender in salted water. Cool the chicken and cut into small cubes. ! If you boil the chicken in advance, for example, in the evening, so that it does not get wet and lose its juiciness, leave it in the broth.

3. Step 3:

   

   Grate the cheese on a coarse or medium grater.

4. Step 4:

   

   Finely chop walnuts with a knife or chop them in a blender. Additionally, set aside a few whole halves to decorate the salad.

5. Step 5:

   

   Peel and core the apple. Quickly grate the pulp on a coarse grater. The apple should be prepared the very last after all the other ingredients. So that it does not darken so quickly, you can sprinkle the grated pulp with lemon juice. Take the apple sweet and sour, juicy. Suitable varieties Granny Smith and Simerinka.

6. Step 6:

   

   You can form this salad in a transparent salad bowl or on a dish in a cooking ring so that all layers are clearly visible. Put the chicken fillet in the first layer and smooth it out. My fillet turned out a little more than necessary, so that the salad was not dry because of the thick layer of chicken, I divided the fillet into two layers. Pour mayonnaise on top. I put the mayonnaise in a pastry bag and cut off the tip to make it easier to apply the sauce on the layers.

8. Step 7:

   

   Lay the grated apple on the fillet in an even layer and also pour mayonnaise over it.

9. Step 8:

   

   Next, I distributed the remaining chicken fillet and also poured mayonnaise on it.

10. Step 9:

    

    The next layer is grated cheese and mayonnaise.

11. Step 10:

    

    The last layer is chopped walnuts. Press the salad lightly with your hands or with a special round tamper attachment. Put the salad in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours for impregnation. If you leave it longer, tighten the mold with plastic wrap.

12. Step 11:

    

    Before serving, remove the cooking ring, decorate the salad as desired. I decorated it with walnut halves, cherry tomatoes and rosemary sprigs. Bon appetit!
