Salad with smoked breast beans and crackers

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to make a salad with smoked breast, beans and crackers? Very fast and simple. First, prepare the necessary ingredients according to the list. You can supplement the vegetable part of the salad according to your taste. Canned beans can be used both white and red or a mixture of them.

2. Step 2:

   

   You can use store-bought crackers and, depending on the additives, vary the taste of your salad or make crackers yourself. Crackers can be made of white or black bread, as you prefer. Wheat crackers soak faster in a salad. That's why I always prefer rye crackers. Cut rye bread into small cubes and dry on a baking sheet in the oven at 180 ° C for 15-20 minutes. Cool the finished crackers.

3. Step 3:

   

   Drain all the liquid from the canned beans and discard the beans in a colander. It is advisable to rinse the beans with cold water to get rid of the remnants of viscous juice. Dry the washed beans.

4. Step 4:

   

   Boil the carrots in advance until tender and cool. Then peel and cut into medium cubes.

5. Step 5:

   

   Peel the smoked breast from the skin and bones and cut into small cubes. You can replace the breast with meat from smoked hams.

7. Step 6:

   

   Cut tomatoes into medium pieces. Tomatoes need juicy, but dense. Soft fruits do not keep their shape well, in the process of slicing and cooking they will spread into a shapeless mass and spoil the appearance of the dish.

8. Step 7:

   

   Wash, dry and finely chop the greens. Instead of dill, you can take other greens: parsley, green onions, etc .

9. Step 8:

   

   In a bowl, combine the smoked chicken, beans, tomatoes, carrots, crackers, chopped herbs and garlic passed through the press.

10. Step 9:

    

    Season the salad with mayonnaise. If desired, you can add salt and pepper, but personally I very rarely add spices to salads with mayonnaise.

11. Step 10:

    

    If you do not plan to serve the salad immediately or in the next 10-15 minutes, then it is better not to add crackers and mayonnaise. The crackers will quickly get wet and turn into bread porridge. This will happen especially quickly with wheat crackers. Mix everything thoroughly and serve immediately. Bon appetit!
