Step-by-step cooking

Step 1:
How to make a salad with chicken, prunes and cheese and walnuts? Prepare the ingredients. Pre-defrost the chicken fillet if it has been frozen. Take the pitted prunes, a sweet variety. Cheese is hard, any desired, with a not pronounced taste. I take a red salad onion, but you can also use a regular onion. My walnuts are already peeled and fried.
Step 2:
Boil the chicken fillet. How to cook chicken fillet? Bring the water to a boil in a saucepan, lower the fillets into it. Add salt. Cook the meat for 30 minutes at a low boil over low heat. Then turn off the heat and leave the fillet to cool directly in the broth — it will turn out juicy and soft. Cut the chilled chicken fillet into small cubes. Put the chopped fillets in the prepared salad bowl.
Step 3:
Boil the eggs. How to cook eggs? Put them in a saucepan, fill with cold water, put on a small fire. Cook the eggs until tender for about 10 minutes. Then drain the water and fill them with cold water. Peel the cooled eggs from the shell and cut into small cubes. Put it in a bowl with the chopped chicken fillet.
Step 4:
Pick the prunes and rinse under running water. Fill it with hot water for a few minutes, then drain the water, and dry the prunes and cut into small pieces. Put it in a salad bowl with other ingredients.
Step 5:
Walnuts are better to take fried immediately (so they are better absorbed by the body). Sort the nuts, remove the partitions and parts of the shell (this is provided that the nuts have already been completely peeled). Chop the nuts into pieces with a knife. Put them in a salad bowl.
Step 6:
Peel and finely chop the onion. I use salad onions, they are not bitter and not "evil". If you use a regular onion, then it is better to pour boiling water over it for a few minutes so that the bitterness goes away. Drain the water, and put the onion in a bowl with the previously prepared ingredients.
Step 7:
Grate the hard cheese on a coarse grater. Add the grated cheese to the salad bowl.
Step 8:
Add mayonnaise and salt to the salad to taste. Mix it thoroughly and serve it on the table. Bon appetit!

You can use both smoked chicken meat, and fried, and baked, which is available at home or which tastes better in a salad.

The salad will look nice and neat if you cut all the ingredients into pieces of the same size and shape (for example, cubes).

Prepare salads only from fully chilled foods. Cooked from warm, the salad can quickly deteriorate.

It is better to prepare mayonnaise yourself. It will be tastier and healthier. See here interesting recipes for homemade mayonnaise.
Also, as a dressing, you can use not only mayonnaise, but also sour cream or natural yogurt. They can be taken separately or mixed with mayonnaise in any proportion to your taste - this will reduce the calorie content of the dish.
