Ingredients

  • crab sticks - 200 g;
  • chicken (fillet) - 200 g;
  • fresh cucumber - 150 g;
  • canned corn - 1 tbsp.;
  • egg - 2 pcs.;
  • salt (for cooking chicken) - 1 tsp;
  • mayonnaise - for salad dressing;
  • greens (dill, parsley) - at will and taste.

Cooking

In order to maximize the rational distribution of the time spent on preparing the salad, it is better to start with chicken and eggs - products that need heat treatment. Wash the eggs with a brush with soda, rinse the chicken. We lower the products into cold salted water (you can do it together, you can do it in separate saucepans - as you like) and boil until tender. Hard-boiled eggs are boiled for 7-10 minutes, chicken - 15-20 minutes, depending on the size of the fillet. Cooking time is measured after boiling water.

While the chicken and eggs are cooking, prepare the rest of the salad ingredients. We get rid of the liquid from the corn by throwing it on a sieve.

My cucumber, dry and cut into cubes about 5 mm in size. Cucumber will give the salad the freshness and lightness it needs. If (for some reason) you don’t particularly like the combination of cucumber with such ingredients, you can replace it with herbs - parsley, dill, onion (2-3 sprigs will be enough), or finely chopped Chinese cabbage(gram 150).

Let the chicken fillet cool down a little, dry it and also cut into cubes. It will be problematic to cut the chicken fillet finely, therefore it is better to cut larger. Plus, it makes the chicken stand out more in the salad.

We dip the boiled eggs in cold water for 10 minutes, after which we clean them, dry them and chop them into medium-sized pieces.

Now that all the salad ingredients are ready, mix them together in a deep bowl and season with a little mayonnaise - literally 3-4 tbsp. l. will be sufficient. A salad seasoned with mayonnaise can be stored in the refrigerator for no more than 12 hours. If you don’t plan to eat the whole serving at once, it is better to season the salad with mayonnaise in portions - at a time according to the number of eaters. Again, if desired, you can season the salad with sour cream, but in this case it is better to season it always immediately before serving.

Stir the salad and you're done! You can submit! Salad with chicken fillet, crab sticks and corn turns out to be light, tasty and nutritious. Ideal as a dish for every day, and as a festive one.
