Chicken salad high with poppy seeds

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to make a salad with an unusual name "Chicken stoned" with a poppy? Very simple! First, prepare the necessary ingredients according to the list. You can take store-bought mayonnaise or cook it yourself.

2. Step 2:

   

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

3. Step 3:

   

   Wash and dry the tomatoes. Remove the seeds from tomatoes. This is necessary so that the salad does not flow. Cut the pulp into small cubes. Tomatoes need dense. Soft fruits do not keep their shape well, in the process of slicing they will spread into a shapeless mass and spoil the appearance of the dish.

4. Step 4:

   

   Boil hard boiled eggs, cool and peel. Divide into whites and yolks. Grate the proteins on a coarse grater or cut into small strips. Grate the yolks on a fine grater. You can grate the yolks immediately on the salad.

5. Step 5:

   

   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 or cubes and dry on a baking sheet in the oven at 180 ° C for 15-20 minutes. Cool the finished crackers.

6. Step 6:

   

   Place a cooking ring (Ø 16 cm) on the dish or form a salad in small portion rings. Put the smoked chicken in the first layer and apply a mesh of mayonnaise on top. I put the mayonnaise in a pastry bag and cut off the tip. This is more convenient than using a spoon.

8. Step 7:

   

   Spread the tomatoes on the chicken. Add salt and pepper on top. You do not need to water this layer with mayonnaise.

9. Step 8:

   

   Next, distribute the grated proteins and pour mayonnaise over them. Sprinkle the whites with grated yolks and apply mayonnaise on top.

10. Step 9:

    

    Lay the crackers on top.

11. Step 10:

    

    Lightly brush the crackers with mayonnaise to make the poppy stick better.

12. Step 11:

    

    Then sprinkle the salad liberally with poppy seeds. Due to the presence of crackers, it is better to make this salad immediately before serving. Additionally, it is also not necessary to insist on such a salad for impregnation.

13. Step 12:

    

    Remove the cooking ring before serving. Garnish the salad with lettuce leaves, parsley and cherry tomatoes. Enjoy your meal!
