Step 1:
How to make Red Poppies Salad with chicken? Prepare the ingredients. To prepare the salad, we will need: chicken fillet (pre-boil and cool), tomatoes, champignons, pitted olives, dill, cheese, vegetable oil for frying mushrooms, ground black pepper, salt and mayonnaise.
Step 2:
Pre-boil chicken fillet in salted water until tender. Remove the meat from the broth, cool and cut into small cubes.
Step 3:
Wash, dry and slice the mushrooms.
Step 4:
Heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan and fry the mushrooms over high heat until golden brown. Season the mushrooms with salt and pepper and remove the pan from the heat. Chill the champignons.
Step 5:
Remove the olives from the brine, dry and cut into rings.
Step 6:
Wash and dry the tomatoes. Since I didn't have cherry tomatoes to decorate, I cut off the petal rings I needed from the back of medium-sized tomatoes. We need a whole part without seeds.
Step 7:
Cut the tomatoes into small cubes.
Step 8:
Grate the cheese on a medium grater.
Step 9:
Put the chicken fillet in one layer on a flat dish and smear it with mayonnaise. It is better to make a thin mesh.
Step 10:
Put a layer of fried mushrooms on top. Since the mushrooms are already greasy, I didn't water them with mayonnaise.
Step 11:
Put tomatoes on mushrooms. Pour over the mayonnaise.
Step 12:
Next, lay out the rings of olives. The olives are smeared with the remains of mayonnaise.
Step 13:
Sprinkle the entire surface of the salad with grated cheese.
Step 14:
Cut cherry tomatoes into not very thick circles. It is advisable to use only whole parts without seeds for decoration. Chop some of the dill finely, leaving 1-2 whole twigs.
Step 15:
Sprinkle the bottom edge of the salad with chopped dill all around. In the center of the salad, form poppy petals from tomato circles. Place an olive in the center of each flower. Sprinkle poppy seeds around the olives. Make leaves from whole sprigs of dill. Put the salad in the refrigerator for 2 hours for impregnation. Enjoy your meal!

Any oils are useful only until a certain temperature is reached - the point of smoking, at which the oil begins to burn and toxic substances, including carcinogens, are formed in it. How to determine the roasting temperature and choose the best oil for frying, and which is better not to use at all, read here .

It is better to prepare mayonnaise yourself. It will be tastier and healthier. See the interesting ones here 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.
