Good afternoon, my dear cooks! My article today will be somewhat unusual. With what? You know that, as a rule, I try to publish healthy recipes that allow you to maintain beauty, youth and health. But once a year the day of March 8 comes, and I decided to make a small retreat, it’s not always possible, sometimes you can give vent to your weakness.

Have you decided that I have no weaknesses? I myself would like that... But no, I am a sinful, earthly woman. With all the ensuing consequences. Smoked chicken salad will be my weakness today. But! You and I will do everything possible to get the maximum benefit.

From this article you will learn:

How to choose the right chicken

In fact, chicken is a healthy and even dietary meat, since it is low in fat. It contains a lot of substances necessary for health: amino acids, easily digestible proteins, vitamins. But smoking, unfortunately, is not the best healthy way food processing.

Attention! When buying chicken, choose country chicken. It will most likely not be as fatty and tender as broiler, but it also carries fewer dangers.

It’s best to smoke chicken yourself (this is the advantage of villagers!), and under no circumstances should you use “ liquid smoke" And if you buy it, it’s only hot smoked. Contents in such a chicken harmful substances will be the smallest (compared to cold smoked and even more so compared to “liquid smoke”).

Salads, for me, at least, are the main dish of the holiday table. And on the blog I have already shared their recipes more than once, for example. In fact, the hot food is not as important as the beautifully arranged and varied cold dishes with which we start the holiday dinner.

I think you, dear readers, often have to prepare them - and not only on March 8th. Therefore, you are, of course, familiar with the basic rules for preparing salads. But repetition, as we know, is the mother of learning. So:

1. Cut all ingredients into equal pieces. Their size should correspond to the size of the product that is added as a whole (green peas, beans or corn). Believe me, it benefits a lot from proper cutting. appearance.
2. Layered salads are prepared immediately in the container in which we will serve them on the table: after all, if they have to be rearranged, the layers will mix.
3. We cook the vegetables for the salad in salted water, in an enamel bowl with a closed lid (this way they will be cooked equally and will not become soggy, especially for potatoes).
4. We can serve salad not only in beautiful vase. But also in tartlets, on crispy bread, on green leaves (lettuce, grapes, etc.).
5. A few drops of lemon juice or slices of lemon added to the salad will help make it taste more refined and preserve vitamins.
6. Basic dressings that will help highlight bright taste smoked chicken, it is mayonnaise and olive oil with lemon juice or natural vinegar.

Important! The most harmful thing about smoked chicken is the skin. Even when cooked, it is removed, but here, even more so, it must be removed before preparing the salad.

Well, now that we have remembered all the basic principles, let's start cooking.

You can't imagine anything tastier

Today is the first day of spring, so we will immediately “say goodbye to winter.” For this purpose, this salad is just right:
