Salad with Beans and Chicken Liver

A tasty, hearty, quick salad with chicken liver. You can use any liver here—it won't change the taste much. The key is not to overcook the liver, so it stays soft while still being done. Instead of cutting the liver into pieces, you can grate it on a medium grater for an even more tender salad.

Adding chicken liver to your diet can do real wonders for your health—it holds an incredible amount of the vitamins, acids, and fats your body needs, which keep it well-nourished and running smoothly. Just about a hundred grams of chicken liver provides more than three daily doses of vitamin A, and its B vitamins, which it has in abundance, are hard to overstate. Anyone with anemia should make a point of including it in their daily diet. Chicken liver is exceptionally good for you but isn't eaten as often as meat—not everyone likes offal. A salad with liver, though, can be a real showstopper, since liver, like meat, pairs harmoniously with fresh and canned vegetables, fruit, and mushrooms. With such a wide range of pairings, you can make all sorts of original, delicious dishes from it.
It's best to make the mayonnaise yourself—it'll taste better and be healthier. Check out our homemade mayonnaise recipes. You can also use sour cream or plain yogurt instead of mayonnaise, on their own or mixed with it in any ratio you like—this cuts the calories.
