Chicken salad with grapes and pine nuts

Recently I bought some chicken fillet. You'd better hold on! :) There will be a lot salads and not only from chicken.

For a long time I wanted to make a salad at home that I had tried in one of the Kyiv restaurants. What's so special about it? It has an interesting taste formed with chicken, grapes, pine nuts and other tasty ingredients.

We'll need:
  • 2 boiled chicken breasts (it's about 350 grammes in raw weight)
  • 4 Bulgarian peppers with average size
  • 200 grammes of hard cheese (with sweet taste is more desirable)
  • 2 apples
  • a small bunch of Muscat or Kis-mis grapes
  • 4-5 spoonfuls with pine nuts
  • 4 spoonfuls of grape or apple vinegar, or lemon juice can do
  • mayonnaise
And now in the following order:
1. Dice the chicken.
2. Chop Bulgarian pepper so it looks like straw.
3. Cut the peel from apples off and dice them.
4. Slice grapes into 4 parts and remove pits if any.
5. Slice hard cheese into cubes.
6. Mix all ingredients together, splash with vinegar, add mayonnaise, add pine nuts, and mix thoroughly.
7. And voila! Salad has sweetish taste. It has enough calories to feed a male. That is for granted ;-)
Bon appetit!
