Step 1:

How do you make Daisy salad with chicken? I used smoked chicken, but you can use boiled chicken, or pan-fry chicken fillet or pieces and cut them into strips. Any cheese works — just make sure it's good quality and tasty.
Step 2:

Boil the potatoes in their skins and hard-boil the eggs. Cool and peel both. Now build the salad. The first layer is potato grated on the coarse side of a box grater.
Step 3:

Lightly salt it and spread a layer of mayonnaise on top.
Step 4:

Next, the pickles, cut into small cubes.
Step 5:

Remove the skin and bone from the chicken thigh, cut it into strips, and lay it over the pickle layer.
Step 6:

Spread a layer of mayonnaise over the chicken.
Step 7:

The next layer is 2 eggs, grated on the coarse side.
Step 8:

Spread on another layer of mayonnaise.
Step 9:

Then the cheese, grated on the coarse side, and mayonnaise.
Step 10:

Cut the remaining 2 eggs in half and take out the yolks. Cut the whites into strips — these will be the daisy petals.
Step 11:

Arrange the egg-white strips into flower shapes. In the center of each daisy, place finely grated yolk.
Step 12:

Wash and dry the dill and use it to garnish the top of the salad.
Step 13:

You can chill the finished salad in the fridge for a bit so the flavors meld, or serve it right away. Enjoy!

You can swap the chicken for turkey or any other meat you like. Just keep in mind that the cooking time and calorie count will change.
Make salads only from fully chilled ingredients. A salad made with warm ingredients can spoil quickly.
Homemade mayonnaise is the way to go — it tastes better and is healthier. See our collection of homemade mayonnaise recipes. You can also dress the salad with sour cream or plain yogurt instead, either on their own or blended with mayonnaise in any ratio you like — that'll cut the calories.
