Step 1:
How to make a salad with chicken breast and walnuts? Prepare the products. Walnuts will be needed to prepare this salad. Chop them a little with a knife so that they become smaller, but not into flour. Then fry the nuts in a hot dry frying pan. Don't skip this step. When roasted, the nuts will become more fragrant and crispy.
Step 2:
Boil the chicken fillet. How to cook chicken breast? Bring the water to a boil in a saucepan, dip the meat into it. Add salt. Cook the chicken for 30 minutes at a low boil over low heat. Cool the boiled chicken fillet and cut into cubes.
Step 3:
This salad will look great in a serving. Therefore, use the serving ring for this. Place the ring on the prepared plate in which this salad will be served to the table. Put the chicken meat in a salad ring. Press down a little with a spoon so that the pieces do not fall apart when you remove the ring. Brush the meat with a layer of mayonnaise.
Step 4:
Boil the eggs. How to cook hard-boiled eggs? So that the eggs do not crack when cooking, put them in cold water and put them to cook on a small fire. Boil the eggs for 9 minutes after boiling, then pour cold water and cool. From a sharp temperature drop, the shell will be better cleaned. Peel the cooled eggs from the shell and grate on a medium grater. Put the grated eggs in the next layer. And also smear them with mayonnaise.

Put the roasted walnuts on the top layer. The salad is ready. Cool it a little in the refrigerator and serve it to the table. Bon appetit!

It will be very beautiful and unusual if you cook and serve such a salad in small cream bowls. Such a presentation is more for a special occasion than for an ordinary dinner. Although it is possible to turn an ordinary table into a festive one.

For juiciness, you can add apples or pineapples to such a salad. Fruits perfectly shade such a salad and give it lightness.

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

Hard or semi-hard cheese is suitable for this dish. The main thing is that it is delicious, high-quality, without milk fat substitutes.

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.
