Salad with smoked breast and fresh cucumber

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to make a delicious salad with smoked breast and fresh cucumber? Very simple and fast. First, prepare the necessary ingredients according to the list. Meat from the smoked breast can be replaced with meat from the shins or hams. You can take any cheese that you like to taste.

2. Step 2:

   

   Wash the cucumbers, dry them and cut them into small strips or small cubes. The skin, if it is not hard, not damaged and not bitter, is not necessary to cut off. You can replace one long cucumber with 2 short ones.

3. Step 3:

   

   Wash the Peking cabbage, dry it and cut it into strips. You can cut a whole head or disassemble it into separate leaves. If you want the salad to be more tender, cut off the white parts in the center of the leaf.

4. Step 4:

   

   Peel the smoked breast from the skin and bones and cut into small pieces. You can just disassemble the meat into fibers. Smoked chicken can be replaced with the usual boiled or fried fillet.

5. Step 5:

   

   Boil hard boiled eggs, cool and peel. Divide into whites and yolks. Grate the proteins on a coarse grater or cut into small strips.

6. Step 6:

   

   Grate the yolks on a fine grater. You can rub the yolks right away, but it's better to put them directly on the salad, then they will be more airy.

8. Step 7:

   

   Grate the cheese on a coarse or medium grater.

9. Step 8:

   

   Place a cooking ring with a diameter of 12-16 cm on the plate. Lay out the ingredients in layers. First, lay out the smoked chicken and brush it with mayonnaise on top. I put the mayonnaise in a pastry bag to make it easier to put on the salad.

10. Step 9:

    

    Next, smearing each layer with mayonnaise, lay out fresh cucumber, grated cheese, chopped proteins. If desired, you can sprinkle the layers with salt and pepper. But I usually don't add spices to salads with mayonnaise.

11. Step 10:

    

    Put the grated yolks on the whites. I grated them on top on a fine grater. Pour the yolks with mayonnaise.

12. Step 11:

    

    The last layer is shredded Peking cabbage. It does not need to be watered with mayonnaise. Put the salad in the refrigerator for 1 hour. If you don't have the time and desire to spread the salad in layers, you can simply combine all the ingredients in a salad bowl, season with mayonnaise and mix.

13. Step 12:

    

    Remove the cooking ring before serving. Garnish the salad with smoked chicken breast and fresh cucumber with cherry tomatoes and herbs to taste. Enjoy your meal!
