Advice
You can use not only mayonnaise as a dressing, but also sour cream or natural yogurt. Use them separately or mix with mayonnaise in any ratio to reduce the dish’s calorie content.
Preparation
Step 1
You can adjust or replace the vegetables as you like. Chicken can be replaced with any other meat. Tomatoes can be regular or cherry.
Step 2
Wash and pat dry the chicken fillet. Season with salt and pepper. Optionally, add other spices to taste. I bake chicken for the salad, but you can boil or pan-fry it.
Step 3
Wrap the fillet in foil and bake in an oven at 350°F (180°C) for about 25 minutes until cooked. Baking can be replaced with boiling or pan-frying.
Step 4
Cut the chicken into strips or shred it by hand.
Step 5
Wash and dry tomatoes. Cut into sticks. Choose firm tomatoes; if too juicy, remove the seeds first. Soft tomatoes will lose shape and make the salad look messy.
Step 6
Remove seeds and stems from bell peppers and cut into strips.
Step 7
Wash, dry, and cut cucumber into sticks. If the peel is thin and not bitter, no need to remove it.
Step 8
Peel onion and slice into half-rings. Optionally, marinate in vinegar and sugar for 20 minutes.
Step 9
Grate cheese coarsely.
Step 10
Wash parsley, shake off water, and chop finely. You can replace or add other herbs, such as dill, cilantro, or green onions, or use a mix of herbs.
Step 11
In a bowl, combine baked chicken, tomatoes, bell pepper, onion, cucumber, cheese, and herbs.
Step 12
Dress the salad with mayonnaise and mix well. Serve immediately. Enjoy!
