Beetroot salad with chicken fillet and persimmon

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 30 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make beetroot salad with chicken fillet and persimmons? Prepare your food. Thaw the chicken fillet in advance, if it was frozen, by transferring it from the freezer to the bottom shelf of the refrigerator. Choose beets that are small and dark in color. Wash the pine nuts, dry and lightly fry in a dry frying pan. Wash the lettuce leaves and dry well with paper towels. Choose persimmons that are firm but ripe; frozen or thawed ones will not go into a salad.

2. STEP 2

   

   Boil the beets. How to cook beets? Wash it and place it in a suitable size pan. Fill with clean cold water. Place over medium heat and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and cook beets for 40 minutes to 2 hours, depending on the size of the fruit. Check readiness with a knife - it should easily pierce the tuber. Drain the water, cool the beets, then peel them. You can also roast or steam the beets.

3. STEP 3

   

   Cut cheese, beets, and persimmons into medium cubes. Tear the greens with your hands.

4. STEP 4

   

   In a separate bowl, add a spoonful of oil to the beets and stir. This way the beets will not color other foods. Add some salt.

5. STEP 5

   

   Place torn lettuce leaves in a deep salad bowl; I cut Chinese cabbage into large cubes.

6. STEP 6

   

   Boil the chicken fillet. How to cook fillet? Bring water to a boil in a saucepan and place the fillet in it. Add salt. Cook the meat for 30 minutes at a low simmer over low heat. Then turn off the heat and leave the fillet to cool directly in the broth - it will turn out juicy and soft. Cut the chilled chicken fillet into small cubes. Add chopped fillet, cheese, persimmons and beets. Stir gently.

7. STEP 7

   

   Season the salad with vegetable oil and balsamic vinegar. Taste it for salt and add to taste. The saltiness of the cheese was enough for me.

8. STEP 8

   

   Sprinkle pine nuts on top.

9. STEP 9

   

   Serve immediately. Bon appetit !

Excellent photography - once again I am convinced that backgrounds made of wood, be it a special photo background, laminate or vinyl photo backgrounds with a wood texture, can elevate any photo. The colors are very well balanced - in the background they are no less bright than in the foreground, but due to blur they do not compete with the salad. The only thing is that I would probably take the angle a little further away - so that there would be a little free space in front of the salad bowl. That is, there should be at least 1 cm between the bottom edge of the photograph and the salad bowl. Then the front edge of the salad bowl would be more distinct.

Maria, thanks for the comment! I’m very glad that you liked the photo. I’ll take your comment into account and try to get a bigger background. I saw that I needed to “shoot” further away, but the board turned out to be too small, I squeezed it out to the last cm!
