Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 30 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make a salad from chicken, cucumbers and tomatoes? Prepare all ingredients according to the list. Take cherry or regular tomatoes, you can use white lettuce, red or shallot onions. Instead of chicken breast, it is permissible to take turkey fillet.

2. STEP 2

   

   First, boil the chicken breast. Fill it with water, bring to a boil over high heat, skim off the resulting foam, lightly salt the water and leave over moderate heat for 20 minutes. Next, drain the water and cool the meat.

3. STEP 3

   

   Peel the onion. Rinse cucumber, tomatoes, onions and dry with napkins. If the cucumber has rough, damaged skin, it is better to cut it off. To brighten the finished salad, I used cherry tomatoes of different colors.

4. STEP 4

   

   Wash the lettuce in clean water. Each leaf should be washed separately to get rid of sand and remaining soil. Dry the leaves with a kitchen towel or napkins. There should be no excess moisture on the green salad. Instead of lettuce, it is permissible to use other leaves such as: iceberg lettuce, spinach, romaine, corn lettuce, lollo rossa, or mix several types at the same time.

   Tear the leaves with your hands and place in a salad bowl.

   Cut the cherry tomatoes in half or into quarters. Very small tomatoes can be left whole. Add tomatoes to salad.

9. STEP 9

   

   Next comes the turn of onions, cut into thin rings or half rings, and grated hard cheese.

10. STEP 10

    

    Evenly distribute olive or refined vegetable oil in a thin stream throughout the salad.

11. STEP 11

For dinner I needed to make a light salad; I chose a recipe for chicken, cucumbers, and tomatoes salad. Wonderful salad! Juicy, light, appetizing, full of vitamins. I used refined vegetable oil and squeezed lemon juice instead of wine vinegar (a very pleasant lemon note in the salad). I didn’t have any yellow tomatoes, so I added thin strips of yellow bell pepper for brightness. Thanks for the recipe, Zhemchuzhina!
