Step-by-step cooking

Cooking time: 1 h 20 min

Step 1:
How to make a salad with celery and chicken breast? Prepare the ingredients. Take the breast chilled if possible — it will turn out juicier and tastier. Pineapples are canned, and rings, like mine, and pieces will do.
Step 2:
Pre-boil the chicken fillet. How to cook chicken fillet? Wash the meat and put it in boiling salted water. Cook the fillets over medium heat until tender, 30-40 minutes, depending on the size. Then remove from the broth and cool completely. Cut the meat into medium pieces.
Step 3:
Wash the cucumber, dry it and cut it into not very thick semicircles. The skin, if it is not rough, not damaged and not bitter, does not need to be cut off.
Step 4:
Cut the celery stalk into small pieces as well.
Step 5:
Remove the pineapples from the jar and shake off the syrup. Cut the fruit into small pieces.
Step 6:
In a salad bowl, combine chopped boiled chicken, canned pineapples, cucumber and celery.
Step 7:
Pepper the salad to taste, season with mayonnaise (or sour cream) and mix. You can add salt to the salad. I usually don't add salt to salads with mayonnaise. Serve to the table. Bon appetit!

Celery has everything edible: the root, the stem, and the leaves. Salads can be prepared from the root, but most often it is added to broths for first courses.

The leaves can be crushed and also added to soup or salad.

Stems are even more popular. They are widely used for weight loss in various dietary dishes. Salads with the addition of celery stalks, juices. They improve metabolism.

In addition, celery contains many vitamins and minerals (manganese, potassium, calcium. phosphorus, zinc, iron, B vitamins, folic acid, vitamins A, C, E) and has a so-called negative calorie content.

The term "negative caloric content" means that the caloric content of a product is less calories than it takes to digest it. Naturally, if these products become the basis of nutrition with a low-calorie diet, then weight loss will go pretty quickly.

Celery is a very fragrant plant with a bright and original taste. And this applies to all its parts: the root, stems, leaves.

I cook this salad quite often, since I discovered fresh celery. For a long time, I added its stems only to broths for first courses. However, fresh in various salads and snacks, celery retains more of its beneficial properties.

The salad will look nice and neat if you cut all the ingredients into pieces of the same size and shape (for example, cubes).

It is better to prepare mayonnaise yourself. It will be tastier and healthier. See the interesting ones here 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.

Prepare salads only from fully chilled foods. Cooked from warm, the salad can quickly deteriorate.
