Layered salad with chicken breast and tomatoes is a delicate, harmonious dish popular in European cuisine. Its roots trace back to the tradition of creating multi-layered salads where each ingredient reveals its flavor while the dressing unites them into a whole. The juicy freshness of tomatoes complements the tenderness of boiled chicken, while a spicy garlic dressing adds richness to the dish. The composition is completed with herbs, cheese, and walnuts for textural variety. This salad not only pleases the eye with its layers but also impresses with its balanced taste. It can be served as a festive treat or as a light yet nutritious dish. Chilling before serving makes it even more refreshing.
