Layered chicken salad with prunes and cheese is a true embodiment of flavor harmony in Russian cuisine. Historically, the combination of meat, dried fruits, and nuts appears in traditional dishes, and this salad has become a modern representation of such gastronomic solutions. Tender chicken meat, sweet prunes, and rich cheese create a rich flavor bouquet, while garlic adds spiciness. Pickled cucumber refreshes the composition, and walnuts add textural complexity. The dish is perfect for festive gatherings — it is not only delicious but also looks beautiful due to its layers. The salad can be served in portions or in a deep dish, allowing each layer to unfold. This excellent combination of simple ingredients ultimately creates a rich and memorable taste.
