Step-by-step cooking
Step 1:
How to make a salad with tangerines and chicken? Prepare the necessary ingredients. I have one chicken breast, you can take other parts of the chicken. Instead of processed cheese, you can use any hard or semi-hard, grating it on a grater. Try to pick up tangerines that have a thin film on the slices.
Step 2:
Boil the chicken fillet until tender in salted water. Remove the meat from the broth, cool it, then cut into small cubes. You can use the broth at your discretion, we won't need it here.
Step 3:
Peel the tangerines and divide into slices. Cut each slice into 3 parts. As I wrote above, take tangerines with a thin film on the slices. If your fruit has a thick one, carefully remove it from each slice, trying not to damage the juicy pulp. It is also advisable to remove all white.
Step 4:
Put the processed cheese in the refrigerator for 20 minutes so that it is convenient to cut it. Now cut the cheese into small cubes. You can grate it on a medium grater, then the salad will turn out more tender.
Step 5:
Finely chop the peeled walnuts. To remove the bitterness from the skin, you can soak the nuts in boiling water for 2-3 minutes. Then drain the water, dry the nuts.
Step 6:
In a suitable salad bowl, combine boiled chicken fillet, cubes of melted cheese, sliced tangerine slices and walnuts.
Step 7:
Season the salad with mayonnaise and mix. Mayonnaise is better to take homemade, self-made.
Step 8:
Serve the salad by forming it in a cooking ring. Place a cooking ring on the dish, fill it with salad and tamp it. Put the salad in the refrigerator for 1 hour for impregnation. Before serving, remove the ring, decorate it with slices of tangerines, sprigs of parsley and walnuts. Bon appetit!
It is worth including tangerine in traditional meat salads, and its sweet and sour taste will decorate and make the dish incredibly tasty and juicy.
In general, tangerine is an excellent refreshing ingredient for many salads. His presence in the dish will not go unnoticed. Therefore, I recommend trying tangerine as a substitute, for example, pineapples, apples or corn.
For salad, it is better to take sweet and juicy tangerines.
To make the meat in the salad tastier, when cooking it, you can add salt and aromatic herbs and bay leaf to the boiling broth. After cooking, the cold meat is used directly in the salad, and the strained broth is useful for cooking other dishes.
Processed cheese can be replaced with ordinary cheese, which can also be diced or grated on a coarse grater.
On the Internet you can find many variations of this salad. Some use mayonnaise or various sour cream dressings, while others use vegetable oil, olive or sunflower. Depending on this, the rest of the composition of the products is determined.
I offer a basic version of this salad with mayonnaise dressing. You can also add Peking cabbage, boiled crumbly rice for satiety.
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.
