Step-by-step cooking
Step 1:
How to make a salad with smoked chicken, prunes and walnuts? Prepare the products.
Step 2:
Chop the walnuts with a knife quite finely. All products should be approximately the same size, and the smaller the cut, the more tender and delicious the salad will be.
Step 3:
Divide the hard-boiled eggs into whites and yolks. Cut the proteins finely into cubes or grate.
Step 4:
But it's better to cut the cucumber with a knife.
Step 5:
Separate the meat from the bones and skin, also finely chop.
Step 6:
Rinse the prunes, pour hot water for 5-10 minutes to soften them. Then dry it and finely chop it.
Step 7:
From the prepared products, assemble the salad in layers. The salad can be served on a flat open dish, in a transparent salad bowl or portioned in cream bowls.
Step 8:
The first layer is meat.
Step 9:
Then a thin layer of mayonnaise.
Step 10:
Then a layer of prunes. Try to repeat the shape so that it does not crumble at the edges.
Step 11:
Carefully sprinkle the prunes with nuts, pressing them a little to the surface and it's okay if it crumbles a little. The main thing is that the given shape of the salad is preserved.
Step 12:
The next layer is egg whites, they also need to be leveled slightly pressed.
Step 13:
Put a thick enough layer of mayonnaise on the proteins.
Step 14:
Cucumber layer. /You can add salt if desired, but I have enough salt in the chicken and mayonnaise, so at your discretion.
Step 15:
A thin layer of mayonnaise / or a mesh, if the mayonnaise is liquid enough/.
Step 16:
Rub the yolk on top, slightly showering it on the sides.
Step 17:
Lightly sprinkle the sides of the salad and the edges of the dish with nuts and decorate as you like. If you will not serve immediately, be sure to cover the top with a film. Bon appetit !
I tried to replace mayonnaise with low-fat sour cream, natural yogurt, homemade mayonnaise, but it is with industrial Olive mayonnaise that the taste of the salad is more piquant, saturated.
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.
How to cook hard-boiled eggs? So that the eggs do not crack when cooking, put them in cold water and put them to cook on a small fire. Boil the eggs for 9 minutes after boiling, then pour cold water and cool. From a sharp temperature drop, the shell will be better cleaned.
