Step 1:
How to make a salad with chicken and pickled cucumbers? Prepare all the necessary products. Take bigger eggs, preferably homemade or WITH. Pickled cucumbers can be replaced with pickled cucumbers. Any cheese, but preferably not soft, but hard and semi-hard varieties, so that it could be grated on a grater.
Step 2:
Wash the cucumbers, cut off the buttocks and cut into small cubes. Grate the cheese on a medium grater.
Step 3:
Boil the chicken, if it is raw, for about 20 minutes after boiling in salted water. Then cool and cut into small cubes.
Step 4:
Boil the eggs hard-boiled, the usual is 8-10 minutes after boiling. Pour ice water over the eggs - this procedure will help to easily peel them from the shell later. Cut the eggs into small cubes.
Step 5:
Mix all the ingredients. Add a little salt to the salad. Keep in mind when adding salt that mayonnaise is also quite salty.
Step 6:
Add mayonnaise. I recommend not to use industrial-made mayonnaise - it is not very useful. It is best if you fill the salad with homemade mayonnaise of your own production. If you are generally an opponent of any mayonnaise, then it is quite possible to use sour cream of any fat content. Lovers of more healthy dishes can fill such a salad with light yogurt of natural taste.
Step 7:
The salad is delicious and self-sufficient. It is suitable both for a festive table and for a daily meal. Enjoy your meal!

Lately, when choosing a salad for some celebration, I choose simpler recipes with available products. And this salad has already won the love of all my household.
For the New Year's table, I replaced Olivier with it without regret, and I just cook it often enough for a family lunch or dinner.
I advise you to save this recipe in your culinary piggy bank.
Bon appetit!

It's 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.
