Quick salad with chicken
2 servings
600 minutes
Quick chicken salad is the embodiment of simplicity and elegance in European cuisine. Its history traces back to home recipes where housewives sought a light and nutritious way to use boiled chicken fillet. The combination of tender meat, juicy tomatoes, and spicy garlic creates a rich, harmonious flavor. Grated hard cheese adds a slight saltiness and enhances the texture. Moderately used mayonnaise helps highlight the main notes of the dish without overwhelming them. This salad is perfect for a quick snack or light dinner, and its appetizing appearance with a cheese topping makes it a table centerpiece. It takes only 10 minutes to prepare, and the taste is like that of a dish from a fine restaurant.
1
Tear the boiled chicken fillet into fairly large pieces.
- Chicken fillet: 2 pieces
2
Cut the tomato and add it to the chicken. The slices should be large enough to feel the texture in the salad. If the tomatoes are too watery, remove the seeds. Add minced garlic on top, but if you don't like it, feel free to omit it from the recipe.
- Tomatoes: 2 pieces
- Garlic: 2 cloves

Grate the cheese finely and add it to the salad. I like parmesan or cheddar, but if you use softer varieties, the salad will have a distinctly creamy taste. Add a little salt and mayonnaise – don't overdo it; it's there to enhance the flavor of the main ingredients.
- Hard cheese: 100 g
- Mayonnaise: to taste
- Salt: to taste
