I suggest you prepare a very simple and tasty chicken salad. Chicken breast is often used in salads, but it is known to be a dietary meat and has virtually no fat. Therefore, such salads turn out a bit dry even if they are made with fatty mayonnaise.

I suggest adding a leg to the salad. Its meat is quite fatty and, thanks to this, the salad turns out more juicy. Only the skin from the leg must be removed during cooking due to the fact that it contains a lot of cholesterol that is harmful to the human body.

Chicken leg salad recipe

Ingredients:

meat of one large boiled leg;
two large boiled potatoes;
one small boiled carrot;
three boiled eggs;
half a medium onion;
mayonnaise.

Preparation:

I boiled the ingredients for this salad in advance, but if you don’t know which ingredient to cook for how long, then I’ll write about it in this case.
I boiled the leg in salted water for one hour after boiling. Eggs also need to be boiled in salted water, but within ten minutes after the water boils. Vegetables - potatoes and carrots - need to be boiled for thirty or thirty-five minutes after the water boils (they can be boiled in one pan).

1. When all the ingredients are ready, we start preparing the salad. And first you need to remove the skin from the leg and separate the meat from the bones. Then cut the meat into medium-sized pieces.

2. Place the shredded chicken leg meat in a deep bowl.

3. Then the boiled carrots need to be peeled and cut into cubes.

4. Transfer the chopped carrots to the bowl with the ham.

5. Now remove the skin from the boiled potatoes and cut them into cubes.

6. Place the chopped potatoes in a bowl with the other ingredients.

7. You can cut the onion the way you like, for example, into small cubes. I cut it into half rings, and then cut the half rings in half.

8. Transfer the chopped onion to a bowl.

9. Now peel the eggs and cut them into cubes.

10. Place the chopped eggs in a bowl and add salt to taste. Mix the ingredients well in a bowl.

11. Add mayonnaise to the bowl to your liking and mix again.

Delicious chicken salad! All that remains is to transfer it to a salad bowl or put it on plates and serve. You can decorate the finished salad with herbs if you wish. You can also add any fresh herbs directly to the salad. Only if you add green onions to the salad, you will need to remove the onions from the ingredients.

Bon appetit!

Have you been looking for a simple recipe for a rather original, healthy, tasty dish? You should definitely try making a salad with smoked ham! You will like it with its rich flavor bouquet and excellent aroma. In addition, the dish is truly satisfying, it gives a real boost of energy for the whole day and supplies the body with vitamins and valuable substances. It’s very nice that the salad is extremely easy to prepare. It is enough to spend literally a few minutes on the whole process. True, you will need to boil the potatoes, but if necessary, you can make the salad without them.

Making a salad with chicken legs

Let's consider the algorithm for preparing the salad, be sure to dwell on all the important points and take into account the key recommendations. Then it won’t be difficult for you to quickly and easily prepare a hearty, tasty salad. You can use this dish as a main dish if you make large portions.

This is what the chef of one of the Moscow restaurants says about the role of the legs in this salad. “We often get orders for salad with smoked ham. People like that such chicken is still almost dietary, but at the same time has all the delights of the fatty meat loved by many. If you eat a little of this salad, you don’t have to worry about weight and body fat. But the taste and aroma of the dish are excellent! It’s like you’re allowing yourself to eat fatty foods when you start eating them. Of course, we smoke the chicken legs ourselves. Be sure to add a mixture of peppers and rub the legs with hot chili peppers. When people buy ready-made chicken legs, they can also decorate them this way. Rub them with garlic, chili, sprinkle with freshly ground peppers. You will see how much richer the flavor of the chicken becomes!”

It's time to start cooking! Remember exactly what products you will need. Take potatoes with garlic, smoked chicken legs themselves. Be sure to stock up on cheese and eggs, take fresh or canned pineapple, and blue onions. A mixture of sour cream and mayonnaise is used as a dressing. You can combine them in equal proportions.

Remember the procedure and all the key points.

First you will need to select your smoked chicken legs. Try to purchase them from a retail outlet that has long enjoyed your well-deserved trust. It’s great if you smoked the meat right today, it wasn’t at all in the refrigerator. When the legs themselves are not very flavorful, and this also happens, you still need to work with them. Take a pepper mill, stock up on hot chili peppers and a clove of garlic. Now rub the peppers into the meat, rub it with garlic and chili. Then you need to leave the legs for about 10 minutes so that they are saturated with the sharp brush. Then you should cut the meat into fairly small pieces. If you and your loved ones value chicken, you can even use the skin. In smoked chicken legs it is especially tasty and aromatic.

Now send your potatoes to boil. It is advisable to choose domestic potatoes, even if they do not seem beautiful enough at first glance. The thing is that genetically modified tubers contain almost no valuable substances or vitamins, and their consumption can have a bad effect on health. In addition, these attractive-looking potatoes do not at all have the delicate aroma and rich taste inherent in real tubers that are familiar to us. You can send the potatoes to boil directly in the skins. True, it is advisable to further process potatoes boiled in their jackets. When it is completely cooked, but has not yet begun to fall apart, you need to clean it. Then place the whole potatoes in a separate bowl. Chop more greens there and grate a clove of garlic. Pour odorless olive oil over the potatoes, mix with herbs and garlic. It will acquire a wonderful aroma and will amaze with its rich flavor bouquet. At the same time, the taste of the potato itself will not be “lost” either.
Be sure to hard boil the eggs. Remember that you cannot cook them even a little longer than prescribed, as they instantly acquire a “rubbery” consistency. It is advisable to take premium or first grade eggs. They have a richer taste and contain much more vitamins. To avoid problems with removing shells, take the advice of one experienced housewife. “I add eggs to almost all salads, but I used to struggle with the shells for a long time. She didn’t want to take off, there were a lot of balls left on her. In general, the whole process of cleansing eggs turned into real torture. As a result, most of the eggs simply went into the trash. Now I always make sure to cool the eggs immediately after boiling. You need to take a saucepan, pour boiling water out of it, and then tilt it and place it under an open tap with ice water. Wait until the eggs are completely cool. Then they will easily peel off the shells!” You will need to mash the testicles with a fork or finely chop them. Try not to crush the egg mass, leave it airy.

Now get to the onions. Blue onions are usually added to this salad. It is its subtle taste and delicate aroma that fit perfectly into this dish. This onion does not need to be scalded; it is already soft enough. Cut the onion into thin rings. Then you just put it on the bottom of the salad bowl. It is curious that some housewives deliberately do not mix onions with other ingredients, so that all interested guests can easily separate it from the salad mass if they do not want to eat it.

It is advisable to put pineapple in our salad. The thing is that chicken goes perfectly with pineapple. Many housewives note that without pineapple, the salad is noticeably inferior. It’s great if you take not the usual canned pineapple, but real fresh fruit. It needs to be rid of the tail, the upper part. Choose your pineapples carefully. The fruit should not have a greenish tint or too strong a smell. Look for pineapples without scratches or dents, discolorations, or soft parts. The pineapple should be ripe, but not rotten. You need to cut it into small pieces. If you want to save time and spend less money on salad, you should choose canned pineapple, cut into pucks (rings). Please note that it is better not to purchase pineapple that has already been chopped into pieces, since it is no longer juicy at all and practically does not retain the specific taste and aroma inherent in this fruit.
Of course, we can’t do without cheese here. The dish is traditionally decorated with a whole cap of cheese. Interestingly, you also need to add cheese inside the salad, but not grated, but cut into small pieces. So divide your cheese into two parts. Rub one on a fine grater, and cut the other.

Use sour cream and mayonnaise as a dressing. Mix them in equal parts. You can add a little more olive oil, but without the aroma.
It's time to mix all the ingredients except the grated cheese and season our dish! Mix carefully, do not crush the mass. It should retain the airiness obtained from the crushed eggs.
Now decorate the top of the salad with grated cheese and cover it on the sides as well. It is advisable to give the dish a round shape.

All! Our salad is already ready!
