30 minutes
A light salad with chicken breast and celery is the embodiment of freshness and balanced flavor. This salad combines the tenderness of chicken fillet, the crunchiness of celery, and the juiciness of apples with exotic notes of pineapple. Such a combination gives the dish a pleasant sweet-sour taste and refreshing flavor. Light mayonnaise gently binds all the ingredients together, creating a harmonious texture. The origins of this recipe trace back to Russian culinary traditions, where simple and hearty dishes are valued for both everyday meals and festive tables. It is perfect as a standalone dish or as a light side to main courses. This salad is often served in summer when something fresh and refreshing is desired, as well as at festive gatherings as an unusual addition to classic salads.
