Salad-cocktail of chicken with pineapple

I like chicken salads with sweet taste. Here's another one.

We shall need:

• 3 medium boiled chicken fillets
• 4 apples
• 4 Bulgarian peppers
• 250-300 grams of canned pineapples
• mayonnaise

Traditionally, here's the step by step cooking process:

1. Prepare diced chicken cubes.
2. Make diced Bulgarian pepper.
3. Open canned pineapples.
4. Make diced pineapple cubes, like in the picture below.
5. Make diced apple cubes.
6. Have all mixed.
7. Add the mayonnaise, mix all and carefully lay on a plate.
Salad will be light (low calories) and very tasty :-).

Bon appetit!

Chicken salad with mushrooms

I learned this recipe from my coworker a year ago. However, at that time I didn't memorize it and marvelous recipe was lost. Couple of days ago we were talking about salads and I asked her about this salad recipe.

At this time odds were on my side, don't forget about some chicken fillet in the fridge.

Here we go! The recipe is the following (for 4 portions):

• 3 boiled chicken fillets
• 0.5 kg pekinese cabbage
• 0,750 liter of pickled mushrooms
• 250 grams of solid cheese "Suluguni"
• 0.5 of loaf or 2 packing crackers, preferably without taste
• mayonnaise

And now, step by step:

1. Making crackers. You can do so as I did before - cut the loaf into cubes and place into oven. Or the way I did this time - toast chopped slices of bread with toaster, cut into cubes and dry them out in the microwave. The result of my work is presented below.

2. Slice pickled mushrooms into smaller pieces. They can be put into the salad as is. If mushrooms are too spicy, you can fry them a bit on sunflower oil.
3. Cut then chicken into cubes.
4. Cut pekinese cabbage.
5. Cut hard cheese into cubes.
6. Mix all components.

7. Add the mayonnaise, mix again and the salad is ready.


The salad has original and unusual taste. Give it a try!

Bon appetit!

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!

Salad "Vitaminous"

I visited my mom last weekend and she gave me a large bunch of celery:) At the same moment I have got an idea what to do with it.

You may ask what could be done with that celery? Well, because I had already been familiar with celery (I was making another salad with it, separate blog post will be devoted to it) the solution appeared rather quickly - it was salad!

By the way, do you know that celery is one of the strongest aphrodisiacs? It is recommended for men along with parsley!
Some additional information about celery can be found here and here.

I have to warn you: do not bring or throw celery on Stamford Bridge stadium, especially when "Chelsea" is playing!!! It is forbidden.

Ok, I'm done with introduction:-). We can continue on the salad recipe.

So, we'll need:

• 4 carrots
  
• 4 apples
  
• 3 stalks of celery (35 centimeters each)
  
• 2-3 table spoons of olive or sunflower-seed oil
  
• salt to taste

Now, I'm going to explain how to make the salad with more details:
1. Wash celery stalks and chop it in thin pieces as it is shown on the picture.

2. Clean up the carrots and grate them in the way you do this when cooking the soup.

3. Wash the apples, rind and have them grated.

4. Then mix all ingredients and flavour with olive or sunflower-seed olive and salt. For this salad it is better to use olive oil, because sunflower-seed oil gives bad after-taste.

And here's what you get - a very delicious salad:

This celery salad is juicy and spicy and because of apple it has sweetish taste.

Bon appetit!
