Cooking method

Step 1:

How do you make a smoked chicken and corn salad? Gather all the ingredients you'll need. I use 9% vinegar for pickling the onion. Open a can of corn and drain off the liquid.
Step 2:

First, pickle the onion. How do you pickle the onion? Peel it and rinse it in cold water. Then finely chop the peeled onion and pour vinegar over it. Let it stand for 7-10 minutes. Then drain off the vinegar and rinse the onion in cold water. This removes the onion's sharp smell and bitterness.
Step 3:

Boil the eggs for the salad. Cover them with cold water, set them over the heat, and bring to a boil. Boil them for 8-9 minutes. Then drain the hot water and cover the eggs with cold water. The sharp temperature change cools the eggs quickly and makes them easier to peel.
Step 4:

Peel the skin off the smoked chicken leg. Then separate the meat from the bones. Cut the meat into small pieces and put it in the bowl you've prepared for the salad.
Step 5:

Wash the cucumber, trim off the ends, and cut it into thin strips. Don't forget to taste the cucumber before cutting, so it isn't bitter - otherwise it'll ruin the whole flavor of the salad. Add the sliced cucumber and canned corn to the bowl with the chicken.
Step 6:

Peel the cooled eggs and cut them up. It's more convenient and faster to cut eggs with an egg slicer. Add the chopped eggs and pickled onion to the salad. Dress the salad with a small amount of mayonnaise and mix everything well.
Step 7:

Before serving, chill the salad a little in the fridge.
Step 8:

You can portion the salad into individual dishes or put it in one big salad bowl. Enjoy!

You don't have to use smoked chicken for this salad. If you don't have any, you can use ordinary boiled chicken, or thinly slice the fillet and fry it a little. That's very tasty too. The main kick of flavor comes from the pickled onion.
Cook with pleasure!
The salad looks neat and pretty if you cut all the ingredients into pieces of the same size and shape (cubes, for example).
Make salads only from fully chilled ingredients. A salad made from warm ingredients can spoil quickly.
It's better to make the mayonnaise yourself - it's tastier and better for you. See some interesting homemade mayonnaise recipes here. You can also use sour cream or plain yogurt as a dressing instead of mayonnaise. Use them on their own or mix them with mayonnaise in any ratio you like - this will cut the dish's calories.
