Delicious puff salad called "General" with chicken, vegetables, cheese and mayonnaise dressing. On the festive table - a signature dish.

Chicken meat (fillet) can be baked in the oven or boiled. If you take thighs or legs for a salad, then it is better to fry and then remove the pulp from the bone. Beets and carrots are steamed or baked in the oven in foil - this option is suitable if you decide to bake the chicken as well.

It is better to cook homemade mayonnaise for dressing or buy a proven brand, always thick, otherwise the salad may leak. And another tip - grate the boiled beets on a coarse grater and do not forget to squeeze out the juice - then you don’t have to worry that the salad will not keep its shape or lose its presentable appearance. How to decorate and serve is a matter of taste, but the salad looks most impressive in portioned serving. See step by step recipe with photos.

boiled or baked beets - 2-3 pcs;
hard cheese - 100 gr;
hard boiled egg - 2-3 pieces (one per serving);
chicken meat (boil or bake, fry) - 200 gr;
boiled or baked carrots in foil - 2-3 pcs;
mayonnaise - to taste;
salt, pepper - to taste.

We bring beets and carrots to readiness in a convenient way. You can bake in foil, wrapped in two layers (baking time is about an hour), boil in water or steam (we check the readiness with a fork - it easily pierces to the middle - the vegetables are ready). Cool, peel off the skin.

Boil chicken fillet in advance in broth, bake in the oven or fry in a small amount of oil (you can use a grill pan and fry without oil). Let cool, cut the meat into small cubes. If the salad is served in portions, we use a culinary ring or a cut tin for assembly. Put chicken meat down, coat with mayonnaise.

Three boiled carrots on a fine grater. Pour over the chicken, level and lightly press with a spoon or crush so that the base of the salad does not fall apart. Add mayonnaise.

The next layer will be hard cheese, crushed through a coarse grater. We also grease the cheese layer with mayonnaise.

Boil the eggs at the rate of one per serving of salad. After cooling, we rub on a coarse grater (you can not add the yolk, but crumble and sprinkle the salad before serving). Lubricate the egg with mayonnaise.

Three beets on a coarse grater, squeeze out the juice. We spread it with the top layer, level it and press it with a pusher so that the top becomes even, without tubercles. Apply mayonnaise in a thin layer. We remove the ring, put the salad in the refrigerator to brew and soak.

Before serving, decorate the salad as you wish. For example, grated cheese, carrots or boiled yolk and herbs.

General's salad with chicken is prepared very simply - you need to sequentially lay out layers of pre-prepared products on a dish and coat them with mayonnaise. Therefore, we propose to start by boiling the indicated amount of chicken, beets, carrots and eggs. We clean the carrots and beets and cook them until soft. We also act with chicken fillet, the water for cooking which should be slightly salted. Boil the eggs in salted water, which will take about 10 minutes after it boils. Prepare the right amount of cheese, nuts and herbs.

After all the cooked ingredients have cooled down, you can start cutting them and shaping the salad. By the way, if you decide to prepare such a salad for a holiday, it will be very convenient to prepare the ingredients in the evening, and start forming the salad the next day. So you will spend much less time in the kitchen directly on the holiday.

An integral part of the salad is the meat component. Some prepare the general's classic salad with beef, but we will cook it with chicken fillet. Cut it into very small pieces.

Next, you need to put the chicken fillet mixed with 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise on a dish. You can choose any form of serving: you can decorate the salad both in separate small forms, and in one common (round or square). We suggest using a form with a removable bottom, which will allow you to carefully lay out the ingredients. Thanks to this trick, the salad will look very advantageous on the table.

Let's start preparing hard cheese. We rub 150 grams of this product on a grater.

We spread 100 grams of grated cheese in a mold, on top of the chicken. We coat the layer with mayonnaise. The amount of this sauce is up to you. We leave 50 grams of cheese to decorate our salad.

We clean the boiled eggs and rub them on a grater.

Carefully release the salad from the mold. The most creative stage in cooking is coming - decorating the dish! Here you can show your imagination or stop at the classic design. Walnuts, herbs and cheese will help us with this. Finely chop the nuts with a knife, cut the greens. Put walnuts on the edge of the salad, then a circle of grated cheese. In the center of the salad, add chopped greens, which will betray the freshness and benefits of the salad.

That's all! General's salad is ready! Prepare a spatula or spoon, with which it will be easy to cut the salad and serve it to guests. We serve salad in portions. Bon appetit!

Grilled chicken (breast on the bone) - 0.5 pieces;

Beets (medium) - 1 piece;

Pickled cucumbers (medium) - 2 pieces;

Onions (more than average) - 0.5 pieces;

Mayonnaise - 3 tablespoons;

Vinegar (70%) - 1 teaspoon;

Cooking:

1. For cooking, it is better to use white meat from store-bought grilled chicken or from oven-baked chicken. Such meat is more aromatic and juicier than boiled. If it is not possible to use such meat, then simply boil the breast with aromatic spices and bay leaves.

2. To speed up the cooking process, thoroughly wash the unpeeled beets, put them in a plastic bag that is suitable for food products, wrap them and send them to the microwave for 4 minutes. We try for readiness with a toothpick, if the vegetable is not fully cooked, then turn it on for another 2 minutes and check. We don’t put the beets right away for a long time, otherwise it will be digested, lose a lot of moisture and become tasteless. Cool down and clean up.

3. Peel the onion and chop it not very finely. We shift the prepared onion into a cup, pour water to cover the contents, and pour in the vinegar. We leave for 10 minutes.

4. Remove the skin from the breast, clean the meat from the bones, cut into small pieces and send to a bowl or plate.

5. To prepare a salad, we use canned in vinegar, not pickles. They add to the dish, like pickled onions, spiciness and wonderful taste. Cut them into small cubes and lay them on the white meat.

6. Prepared bright beets (leave a little for decoration), like cucumbers, cut into cubes and put on a plate.

7. Squeeze the pickled sour onion and add it to the chopped foods.

8. Pour everything with mayonnaise, sprinkle with ground pepper, mix and a delicious salad with beets and smoked chicken breast is ready.

9. Immediately lay out the salad on portioned plates, optionally decorate with flowers from thin slices of beets, parsley sprigs and serve. Chicken salad can simply be transferred to a large salad bowl, garnished and served. A beautiful and juicy dish will surprise everyone with its taste.

According to this principle, a salad can be prepared with boiled pork, turkey or beef.

The salad will look different if the meat is divided into not very long fibers, beets and cucumbers are cut into strips, and onions are cut into half rings.

The dish can also be supplemented with canned green peas and fresh herbs. From greens, parsley, green onions or dill are great.

To make the dish more festive, we collect the ingredients in layers in a transparent salad bowl. First, lay out the pickled onions, then meat, cucumbers and finish with beets. Pour each layer with mayonnaise.

The combination of beets and chicken meat is an ideal option for those who care about a healthy diet. Poultry is a nutritious food that is easily digestible.

Cheese, eggs, all kinds of vegetables, mushrooms, fruits fit perfectly into the recipe. Each product gives the dish a completely new shade and radically changes the taste.

It turns out the salad is very tender, satisfying, and most importantly beautiful. But to cook it, you need a culinary ring. It can be used large for one salad or small for portioning. There are no difficulties in using such a device. However, if you do not have such equipment, then make a puff salad in the classic way, carefully laying the layers alternately on top of each other.

Such a salad will perfectly help to cope with hunger, while not particularly harming the figure! Only then use less high-calorie mayonnaise, about 30%, or replace it with low-fat yogurt. We usually boil beets for salad, but you can just as well bake them in foil in the oven. This will not affect the taste of the dish in any way, while the benefits in the vegetable will remain much greater.

Cooking puff salad of chicken and beets

1. Wash the chicken fillet under running water and put it into the cooking pot. Fill with drinking water, add salt and boil for about half an hour until tender. After boiling, remove the foam from the surface of the broth. To enhance the taste, you can add bay leaves and peppercorns to the broth.

3. Next, prepare a serving plate and a culinary ring where you will decorate the salad. As I wrote above, you can use portioned small rings, or one large one. If there is no such ring, then use a tin can or a cut plastic bottle.

6. Eggs also pre-boil to a steep consistency, cool and peel. Then separate into proteins and yolks and grate each separately. Put the protein in the second layer and grease it with mayonnaise.
