The secret to successful salads lies in the correct proportion of nutritious and refreshing ingredients. Even if the appetizer consists only of greens, mayonnaise or fat will make the dish filling. And of course, it is simply impossible to put together a salad from meat or fish alone. Something else needs to be added. And ideal in terms of the ratio of satiating and refreshing components is a salad with chicken and cucumber. Skinless chicken breast is considered the most dietary type of meat. It contains little fat (about two percent), but a lot of protein. Some people don't like chicken fillet, considering it dry and too bland and unimpressive. But in combination with cucumber, the taste of meat will be transformed. It will acquire freshness, juiciness and aroma. There are a lot of recipes for salads with chicken and cucumber, and the most successful ones will be given in this article. In addition to the two main ingredients, you can add additional ones: boiled eggs, cheese, herbs, canned corn, etc. You can experiment with cucumber (fresh, salted or pickled), as well as chicken (boiled, smoked, fried). Every time you season the salad with a different sauce, you get a new dish. And in this regard, a truly wide choice opens up before us. Olive oil, mayonnaise, sour cream, soy sauce, vinegar and lemon juice, mustard and honey - all to your taste.

Classic chicken and cucumber salad recipe

This dish is quite dietary. For it we need one greenhouse cucumber (or two ground cucumbers) and 150-200 grams of boiled chicken breast. How to cook meat? If you have at your disposal not a cut fillet, but a chicken, use the following instructions. First we remove the skin. Then we make a cut along the breast bone and cut off the white meat on both sides. The pieces come out uneven. They are thick on one end and thin on the other. We make a cut and turn the meat inside out to make one plate of approximately the same size. Place the fillet in a saucepan, add water, and place on medium heat. After boiling, add salt. If desired, you can add spices. After five minutes of boiling, turn the heat under the pan to minimum and cook under the lid for another quarter of an hour. Cool the breast. Meanwhile, peel the cucumber and cut it into thin strips. We disassemble the cooled fillet into fibers of approximately the same shape. Salad with chicken and fresh cucumbers can also be served on a regular dish. But let's get creative! Serve it on lettuce leaves or Chinese cabbage. Or we’ll bake a pancake and wrap a shawarma-like appetizer in it. What to dress the salad with? Below we will look at several ideas for sauces for two appetizer ingredients.

Mayonnaise, sour cream and other dressings

If you are watching your figure, add a few tablespoons of natural 0% fat yogurt to your salad with chicken and fresh cucumbers. This fermented milk product can also be mixed with finely chopped parsley or dill. The dish will become appetizing and aromatic if you grind a few cloves of garlic with salt and olive oil in a mortar. Here is the recipe for a complex dressing. Pour two tablespoons of olive oil and soy sauce into a jar with a screw-on lid, add a little more apple cider vinegar, a pinch of cane (brown) sugar, ground black pepper and chopped cilantro. Squeeze two cloves of garlic through a press. Screw on the lid and shake the jar like a cocktail shaker until the olive oil is combined with the other ingredients. Pour this sauce over the mixture of chicken fillet and cucumber. Place in the refrigerator for an hour. After this, the finished dish can be placed on lettuce leaves. The most high-calorie dressing option is mayonnaise mixed with grated cheese. But in this case, we put less meat in the dish and more cucumber.

We increase the composition of ingredients

Now we will have not two dominants in the taste of the dish, but three. These include, among others, a salad with chicken, cucumber and egg. Meat and vegetables for the dish should be taken in approximately equal proportions. Three hundred grams of chicken breast will require two eggs. There are several variations of this salad. The simplest one is to boil the eggs hard, peel and cut, like other main components, into small cubes. This salad can be dressed with mayonnaise. But it would be wrong to ignore such an original recipe. Cucumbers and boiled chicken fillet (300 grams each) cut into strips. Finely chop three cloves of garlic, chop a small bunch of green onions. If desired, you can also add a fourth dominant flavor to the salad with chicken, cucumber and egg - red or orange sweet bell pepper. We wash the pod, cut it in half, carefully clean out the seeds, rinse it again and chop it into strips. Mix the mass. Season with five tablespoons of soy sauce, a small amount of mustard, pinches of sugar and salt. Place the salad in the refrigerator for at least half an hour. Meanwhile, beat two eggs in a bowl. Heat a frying pan with a small amount of a mixture of vegetable and butter. Pour in the beaten eggs and bake the pancake. When it cools down, cut it into strips and add to the salad. You don't have to mix it.

Winter salad option

In the absence of fresh vegetables, we turn to homemade preparations. This salad with chicken and pickles is called “Stolichny”. Although some consider it just a kind of Olivier. And there is a certain logic in such a comparison. Judge for yourself: the salad contains potatoes, eggs, carrots, canned green peas, and pickles. Unless we add green onions, not onions, and instead of sausage we use chicken fillet. If you add about three hundred grams of it, this salad will replace a full dinner. Aren't you afraid of extra calories? Season the salad with mayonnaise. For those losing weight, yogurt or sour cream is suitable as a sauce. How to prepare Stolichny salad? Anyone who has made Olivier at least once in their life can easily cope with this task. Boil the chicken breast until tender, as described above. We cook two potatoes and one carrot in “uniforms”. Hard boil three eggs. Peel the vegetables. Cut all ingredients into small cubes. Strain out a can of canned peas. For the Stolichny salad we need only one hundred grams. Chop a couple of green onions. Finely chop fresh dill. Mix all the ingredients. Salt, add ground black pepper. Season with sour cream, yogurt or mayonnaise.

The smell of smoked meats

The aroma of light smoke will give the whole dish a more expressive, bright taste. And our worries will be reduced. All you have to do is buy a prepared chicken thigh or leg, remove the meat from the bone and prepare a salad with smoked chicken and cucumber. And if you add hard cheese to the ingredients, then such a hearty dish can completely replace lunch or dinner. Peel three or four cucumbers, cut into cubes (you can use semicircles). We separate the smoked meat cut from the bone fiber by fiber into oblong pieces. One hundred grams of cheese, three large shavings. Squeeze through a press or finely chop two cloves of garlic. Mix them with cheese. Then add to the smoked chicken and cucumbers. Salt and pepper the salad. You can season it with regular olive oil. In this case, you need to serve toast or croutons with the dish. You can also dress the salad with mayonnaise. But then the dish may seem too heavy. It is best to dilute the mayonnaise with sour cream, or even season it with yogurt sauce with a small addition of ketchup or adjika.

Autumn salad

At a time when the mushroom harvest is so large that you don’t know where to put them, remember this recipe. Not only boletus or boletus mushrooms are suitable for it, but also ordinary champignons. Salad with chicken, mushrooms and cucumbers is very easy to prepare. Cut the leek stalk into rings. Coarsely grate the carrots. Pour vegetable oil into the frying pan. First fry the leek, then add carrots to it and finally - peeled and cut mushrooms (200 grams). Salt and season with spices. Transfer from the frying pan to the salad bowl. For the dish, you can use either boiled breast or smoked chicken meat - 300 g. Two pickled or pickled cucumbers will add sourness to the salad. Like meat, we cut them into cubes. Hard boil three eggs. We clean and also cut into cubes. Mix the salad. Now let's get to the refueling. Beat 2 yolks into a jar with a lid. Mix them with two teaspoons of mustard. Add 50 milliliters of olive oil and the juice of one lemon. Screw on the lid and whisk the contents of the jar until a suspension is formed. At the end, salt the sauce and add two cloves of garlic squeezed through a press. Dressing the salad. Stir and let it soak a little.

Another mushroom salad recipe

Here we will prepare an appetizer with fresh cucumbers. The dominant flavors will be chicken and mushrooms. Cucumbers will only refresh a hearty snack. We put 300 grams of chicken meat (breasts are best), 400 grams of mushrooms and two eggs to cook in different saucepans. While these ingredients are being heat treated, peel and cut three cucumbers into strips and finely chop the onion. Mushrooms, if cut into slices raw, can be boiled in salted water for just five minutes. We strain them in a colander. Cut the cooked meat and hard-boiled eggs into equal cubes. Mix all the ingredients. Salad with chicken, cucumber and mushrooms, salt to taste, pepper and season with mayonnaise. Wash the lettuce leaves. We cover the dish with them. Place on this green mattress. Sprinkle with chopped dill.

Light salad with grapefruit

Chicken meat goes perfectly with fruits, and especially citrus fruits. And in this recipe we will use not only a large grapefruit, but also a quarter of a lemon and a third of an orange. We start preparing a salad of chicken, cucumbers, grapefruit with cooking meat. You can boil the breast or rub it with curry and quickly fry it in vegetable oil until golden brown. Smoked or grilled chicken will also be delicious. Peel one small onion and finely chop it into half rings. Squeeze the juice from a piece of lemon. Next, the recipe recommends making the salad sauce so that it has time to brew. Pour three tablespoons of vegetable oil into a bowl. Squeeze a clove of garlic through a press and season with a pinch of ground black pepper. Now pour a teaspoon each of liquid honey, soy sauce and Worcestershire sauce. Whisk the mixture. Let's return to preparing the salad itself. Cut the cooled chicken into thin pieces. The greenhouse long cucumber does not need to be peeled. Let's chop it into semicircles. You'll have to tinker with pink grapefruit. We need to peel it not only from the peel, but also from the thin films that give the fruit bitterness. Cut the extracted pulp into large pieces. Let's start laying the salad. First, we tear several leaves of Chinese cabbage onto a flat dish with our hands. It can also be replaced with a green salad. Mix all other ingredients of the dish (chicken, onion, cucumber and grapefruit) and add salt to taste. Place on lettuce leaves. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and pour over the dressing. The dish should sit for a while before serving to soak in the sauce.

Snack "Prague"

Along with the traditional Olivier salad, salad with prunes, chicken and cucumber is increasingly appearing on holiday tables. Dried fruits give the whole dish an original smoked taste and a sweet note, which sounds amazing when combined with the sourness of pickles. We traditionally start preparing the Prague salad by boiling the chicken fillet until cooked. We will need 250 grams of it. At the same time, hard-boil two eggs and a medium-sized carrot in its “uniform”. Wash prunes (150 grams) and soak for ten minutes in hot water. Peel carrots and eggs. We select the seeds from the swollen prunes. "Prague" - layered salad. Therefore, we do not mix the ingredients. First place half of the chicken fillet, cut into small cubes, on the bottom of the salad bowl. Lightly pepper the meat, add salt and apply mayonnaise. Grind a large pickled cucumber (or two small ones) in the same way as the breast. Cover the top with a layer of chopped onion half. Next, we complement the salad of chicken, cucumbers and prunes with eggs, grated with fine shavings. Place a layer of carrots on them. There are three big ones. Apply the mayonnaise mesh again. Add three to four tablespoons of canned green peas. We place the remaining meat on it, which we again grease with mayonnaise. Strain the swollen prunes and cut into strips. This is the topmost layer of the salad. Cover the dish with cling film and put it in the refrigerator for an hour. When serving, decorate with fresh herb leaves.

Salad with chicken, cucumber and cheese

And this delicious appetizer completes our selection of recipes. All three main ingredients should be present in the salad in approximately equal proportions. Chicken meat can be grilled, boiled, fried or smoked. The cook has the same free choice regarding cucumbers. You can take fresh vegetables, salted or pickled. But hard cheese is most often used. Although the appetizer will be much fresher if you crumble cheese, feta or tender mozzarella into it. As for dressing, many people prefer to use mayonnaise. But the dish will only benefit if you use sour cream or natural yogurt instead. It should be said that the ingredients used for the chicken and cucumber salad (egg and cheese) still need additional refreshing elements. These could be: olives (black or green), sweet bell peppers, radishes, leeks, and other greens. Now for the eggs. They can be used not only traditionally - hard-boiled and cut. Let us remember how “Caesar”, which has gained worldwide fame, is being prepared. For this salad, eggs are dipped for a minute in boiling water removed from the stove, and then the half-raw mass is beaten into the rest of the ingredients.

For the salad we will use white chicken meat. You can take fresh chilled chicken fillet, frozen. Rinse the meat in running water. Place in a saucepan. Add a little salt, bay leaf and a mixture of peppers. Pour water to cover the meat and bring to the fire. Cook for 25-30 minutes over low heat. Then remove from the broth and cool.

In the meantime, let's prepare the rest of the products. Cut the red cabbage into thin strips. Place in a deep bowl. Add a pinch of salt and press lightly to soften the cabbage.

Wash and dry the green onions. Chop not very finely and add to the cabbage.

Wash fresh cucumbers and dry with a napkin. Cut into large slices. Add to the salad bowl with the rest of the ingredients.

Boil chicken eggs, cool, peel, cut into medium pieces. Place in a salad bowl.

Cut the cooled chicken into large pieces. Add to other products.

Pour in the canned peas, draining the liquid first.

Now let's prepare the dressing. Add grainy mustard, soy sauce to sour cream of any fat content and mix well.

Season the cucumber salad with chicken breast with the prepared sour cream sauce. Season with salt and ground black pepper. Stir.

Salad with chicken and fresh cucumber is ready. Can be served for a home-cooked meal.

For the holiday table, decorate the salad at your discretion and surprise your guests. In my version, I used fresh green peas (boiled), parsley leaves, fresh cucumber and a heart-shaped boiled egg for decoration.

You can later use the whites to make some interesting shapes to make the salad look unusual. I will give the example of a white swan, for the New Year 2018, for example, such a treat can be laid out in the form of a dog’s face. Here everything will depend solely on your imagination.

Attention! Don’t rub half of one egg, just cut it into thin slices and use them to make a wing for your swan or ears for your dog.

3. Pickled cucumbers (it’s better to take 3-4 pieces, but here look at the size of the product itself) cut into small cubes. Alternatively, cucumbers for salad can be grated on a coarse grater. If desired, these can be replaced with salted barrel ones.

4. Peel the onion and cut it into cubes as small as possible.

5. Now we take a beautiful large dish and begin to lay out our masterpiece in layers.

The third is chicken (if necessary, you can add a little salt and pepper or add some special seasonings).

The fourth layer is finely chopped onion.

Fifth - a grid of mayonnaise.

Layer six – pickled cucumbers.

The seventh is the sauce again, it is necessary so that the next layer - the yolks - adheres well to the existing base and does not crumble.

The eighth layer is grated yolks.

The ninth is crushed squirrels, which I usually use, as I already said, to lay out some interesting figure.

Next to the dish I place green lettuce leaves, boiled carrot flowers or butterflies, and parsley for decoration. If you do the same for a swan, then do not forget to attach a beak and an eye to your bird. You can also make paws.

How to prepare salad with chicken and pickled cucumber

Step one. Boil chicken breast in salted water until tender. Cool it, but I recommend that the product cool directly in the broth, so the meat turns out incredibly juicy, rich, and tasty. Once the chicken is ready, it should be separated into fibers and finely chopped.

Step two. We clean the onion, cut it into thin quarter rings and fry it in oil until the product turns light golden brown. You should get a tender stewed onion. We squeeze it out of the fat, put it on a plate and let it cool.

Step three. Open the Korean carrots, drain if there is juice in the jar. If you decide to make carrots yourself, then you need to marinate them a day before preparing the salad. To do this, grate fresh root vegetables, add chopped garlic, a couple of tablespoons of soy sauce, the same amount of cold water, a spoonful of vinegar, a mixture of Korean carrot seasonings and marinate it all in the refrigerator for a day.

Step four. Place the Korean carrots in the same fat in which the onions were sautéed, fry for seven to ten minutes, no more. Turn off the heat and let the product cool.

Step five. Squeeze the pickled cucumbers from the brine, remove the skin, and grate them coarsely. You can chop it finely, but I usually grind it, it makes the salad tastier and juicier.

Step six. Drain the liquid from the peas, pour the sour cream into a separate bowl and mix with a pinch of salt and pepper.

Step seven, we begin assembling our salad. Mix all the prepared ingredients with sour cream in one large bowl, and then spread the salad in portions on green lettuce leaves. Decorate with greenery or whatever you like.

Attention! If desired, such a snack can be laid in layers, alternating the ingredients in any order.
