Chicken Salad with Matsoni

6 servings

20 minutes

Recipes from the book by Anna Shpak "Eat Tasty. Live Long. Be Happy!". "I call this salad "the killer of Caesar". It is light, juicy, fresh and not at all caloric, unlike its Italian counterpart. I found the prototype of this recipe in the first restaurant where I worked. The restaurant was Georgian, and, as is known, this Caucasian cuisine does not differ in the variety of salads. So I had to come up with my own, with a sauce based on Georgian yogurt matsoni.
