Radish salads can be entirely vegetable, but you can make them more filling by adding, for example, chicken fillet. And grated hard cheese will fit perfectly into this salad.

First of all, chicken fillet should be rinsed under running cold water, pour clean water into a saucepan, add bay leaf, spices, and salt. Boil until tender, periodically removing the foam. The fillet can be seasoned to taste with your favorite spices. Do not throw away the broth; you can strain it and freeze it by pouring it into ice cube trays. Or make soup, porridge or pasta based on it.

Boiled fillet for salad can be cut into small pieces or simply separated into fibers with your fingers.

The onion needs to be peeled and chopped into thin half rings. Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan, fry the onion in it, which should become soft and slightly browned, but be careful not to burn it.

Cool the onion to room temperature. If you see that there is excess oil left in the pan, blot the onions with a paper towel to absorb the excess oil.

Boil the eggs hard until tender, cool in water, peel and then grate on a coarse grater.

The radish, if it is thin-skinned, does not need to be peeled, but it is necessary to wash it thoroughly. If the skin of the radish is rough, then it will not be entirely appropriate in the salad. In this case, the radish must be peeled. Grate the radish on the coarse side of a grater.

Wash the carrots, peel and grate on a coarse grater. You can grate carrots and radishes on a special grater for Korean carrots.

Many of us are sorely short of time to spend in the kitchen creating various culinary masterpieces.

However, there are a number of recipes that do not require a lot of time, a long list of necessary products and complex processes, but the result is always excellent.

For example, a chicken and radish salad can decorate not only a family dinner, but also a holiday table, surprising everyone with its harmonious taste.

To prepare the original chicken and radish salad, first you need to prepare the following necessary ingredients:

Boiled chicken fillet - 250 grams. It is best to choose the breast;
Two large white radishes (200 grams);
Onion and apple;
Canned green peas (about three tablespoons);
Sunflower or olive oil, mayonnaise and spices.

Tackle the root vegetables first. They need to be washed and cleaned well. It is better to cut the radish into strips as thin as possible. To remove possible bitterness and harsh taste, place it in cold water for a quarter of an hour, and then squeeze thoroughly so that no excess moisture remains.

Now let's take care of the onions. It needs to be peeled, chopped into half rings and placed in a frying pan with heated oil. After three to four minutes, remove it from the heat and add it to the chopped radish. Add small pieces of chicken fillet there.

Then wash the apple well, remove the seeds and cut it as thinly as the radish. Mix all ingredients, add peas, salt, pepper and mayonnaise (to taste).

Recipe No. 2 “Salad with green radish and chicken”

By following this recipe, you can prepare a spicy and flavorful salad with chicken and green radish. To do this, you need to prepare the following products in advance:

Chicken breasts - 600 grams;
Three boiled chicken eggs;
Two green radishes;
Two onions;
Wheat flour, frying oil and spices.

First of all, you should prepare the main ingredient. Chicken salad with green radish will turn out better and more tender if, after peeling the root vegetables and cutting them into thin slices, you fill them with water and a little salt. In just half an hour, the radish will give up all its bitterness.

Now cut the fillet into thin slices and marinate for about half an hour, sprinkling with salt, black pepper and any spices that you choose to suit your taste.

The ingredients that go into the salad go well with onions. Cut the onions into half rings, arrange them in one layer and “powder” them with wheat flour and ground pepper.

Try to carefully mix the half rings so that they are completely covered with dry batter. And then you can move on to deep-frying them.

Pour oil into any deep frying container, heat it high and fry the onion rings in portions. Thanks to the batter, they will get an appetizing color and remain crispy. Place them on a paper towel to remove excess fat. And then fry the chicken in the same oil.

Cut the soaked radish into strips and mix with the cooled pieces of breast. Add sour cream, knead and transfer everything into a deep dish. Crispy onion half rings are carefully laid out in a circle, and coarsely chopped eggs are placed in the center. Chicken salad with green radish is ready!

Ingredients: green radish – 1 pc.; chicken breast – 1 piece (or, which in my opinion is better, fillet from 2 chicken legs); onions – 2 pcs.; hard-boiled chicken eggs – 3 pcs.; flour – 1 tbsp. spoon; vegetable oil, salt, pepper. Dressing: mayonnaise (can be replaced with kaymak or natural yogurt).

Cut the chicken fillet into pieces about the size of a little finger. Add salt, season with freshly ground pepper mixture, and leave to marinate.

Peel the radish and cut into round or semicircular slices. Pour in cold salted water and leave for 30-40 minutes. Thanks to this soaking, we will get rid of the tart smell and the radish will be well salted, so that later there will be no need to salt it.

In a well-heated frying pan, fry the chopped chicken fillet in a small amount of vegetable oil. The marinated pieces will be fried very quickly, do not waste time, otherwise you will end up with dried, tasteless crackers.

Cut the onion into rings or half rings. Sprinkle with flour. Mix and transfer to a sieve. Shake the sieve several times to remove excess flour.

Saute the onion in a sufficient amount of vegetable oil. Don't overcook it, the onions should turn golden. Place sautéed onions on a paper towel to remove excess oil.

The onion should be crispy and very tasty.

Drain the radish and chop it into thin strips. Now take it and, piece by piece, squeeze it thoroughly with your hands.

Place the squeezed radish and fried chicken pieces into a salad bowl. Add a couple of spoons of mayonnaise (kaymak or yogurt) and stir.

Chop the hard-boiled eggs into strips and place them in a heap in a salad bowl, on top of the radish and chicken.

Place warm sautéed onions in a circle. You can sprinkle toasted sesame seeds on top.

Toss the salad just before serving. There is no need to “infuse” or “saturate” anything; tea is not silage but a snack. The onion should remain crisp, and the egg yolk should not turn into a “cloudy slurry”, entering into an irreversible reaction with the dressing.

By the way, nothing prevents you, my friends, from replacing the radish with radishes, you just don’t need to soak them. Yes, and it is not necessary to clean, the main thing is to wash it well. Well, yes, it takes longer to cut. So take a “Korean” grater if you are so impatient.
