Smoked Chicken Breast Salad with Beans and Cucumbers

A fresh, light, and satisfying chicken salad for any day of the week! I love beans — in every form. I love cooking with them and collecting recipes that feature them. I recently came across an everyday chicken salad recipe in the paper, tweaked it a little, and here it is. See for yourself how simple and tasty it is. Bean dishes might seem a bit heavy on the stomach, but that's really not the case. Beans are full of fiber, which aids digestion and, as it turns out, helps lower cholesterol.

Cooking method

Step 1:

Take the canned beans and drain off the liquid. I prefer to cook the beans myself, but do whatever works for you. You could even try white beans in tomato sauce — they add a nice tang.
Step 2:

Take potatoes boiled in their skins, along with boiled carrot.
Step 3:

Peel them and cut into cubes.
Step 4:

Cut the smoked chicken breast into cubes,
Step 5:

and the cucumbers (fresh are best) into slightly smaller cubes.
Step 6:

Slice the onion into half rings,
Step 7:

and pour boiling water over it.
Step 8:

Toss everything together,
Step 9:

add a little mayonnaise and some fresh herbs, and it's ready to serve.
Step 10:

Enjoy!
Step 11:

Here's a little secret: beans won't settle as extra fat on your trouble spots, so you can absolutely enjoy this salad even while watching your weight — within reason, of course. And if you use boiled chicken instead of smoked and dress it with just a spoonful of light mayonnaise, you've got a diet-friendly meal. It makes a perfectly good dinner.
