Swan's Down Salad with Cheese, Chicken, and Potatoes

A delicious, light salad with chicken breast and napa cabbage. The thinly shredded napa cabbage gives it an airy look—which is probably how it got its name. Even though there's mayonnaise in it, the salad isn't heavy, and the ingredients work beautifully together in both taste and color. Delicate and light, it won't cost you much and looks lovely on a holiday table.

  • Gather the ingredients. Boil the potatoes ahead of time without peeling them, and boil the chicken breast fillet too. If you're cooking the breast just for this salad, you can freeze the broth and use it later for a sauce or gravy. Peel the cooled potatoes. Peel the onion and slice it into rings, and cut the chicken into small pieces. Hard-boil the eggs, cool them, and peel them. Separate the whites from the yolks and grate the whites on the coarse holes. You can rinse the cabbage, but be sure to dry it well afterward, then cut it into thin strips. Spread a little mayonnaise on the bottom of a salad bowl and add the potatoes, grated on the coarse holes. Scatter the onion evenly on top. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then spread with mayonnaise. If the chicken and potatoes were salted while cooking, go easy on the salt here so the salad doesn't end up too salty. Layer on the chicken, then the grated egg whites, then the cheese grated on the coarse holes. Spread with mayonnaise. Top with the egg yolks grated on the fine holes and the shredded napa cabbage. Let the salad rest for at least an hour, then serve. Enjoy!
