Salad Traffic light cheese apples bell pepper

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make traffic light salad with bell peppers and chicken? Prepare all the necessary ingredients. Use bell peppers of different colors to make the salad brighter. If necessary, defrost the chicken fillet on the bottom shelf of the refrigerator. Rinse, clean it of films and fat.

2. STEP 2

   

   How to properly cook chicken breast? Pour about 1.5 liters of water into a saucepan. When it boils, add salt (about 0.5 tbsp. salt) and send the meat there. For taste, you can add peppercorns (3-4 pieces) and bay leaf. Cook covered (about 20 minutes after boiling). If the fillet can be easily pierced with a knife, it is ready. To keep the meat juicy, cool it in the broth. Then remove and dry with paper towels. Cut into small cubes.

3. STEP 3

   

   Wash yellow, red and green bell peppers. Wash and dry with paper towels. Clean the seeds by removing the stalks. Cut the red pepper into small cubes and place in a bowl.

4. STEP 4

   

   Now chop the yellow pepper and place it in a separate bowl.

5. STEP 5

   

   Place the chopped green peppers in a separate container as well. You can cut the peppers not only into squares, but also into thin strips, as you prefer.

6. STEP 6

   

   Cut hard cheese into small cubes. Any cheese will do, as long as it is tasty.

7. STEP 7

   

   Choose an apple that is sweet and sour, preferably green. Wash, dry, cut in half, cut out the core. Cut into cubes.

8. STEP 8

   

   Wash and dry the parsley with napkins. Chop it with a knife. Leave a few branches for decoration.

9. STEP 9

   

   In a salad bowl, combine all the chopped ingredients (chicken, peppers, cheese, apple and herbs). Stir the contents. Important! Don't add all the pepper. Reserve about a third of each color for decoration, without mixing them.

10. STEP 10

    

    Prepare the sauce. In a separate container, mix mayonnaise and sour cream. Lightly beat the mixture with a fork. Season the salad and mix again.

11. STEP 11

    

    On a flat dish you can place lettuce, washed and dried with paper towels. Place the salad on it in a mound and give it an oval shape. Sprinkle with chopped herbs. Place green, yellow, and then red peppers on top in turn, like in a traffic light. Garnish with parsley leaves. Let the salad soak for 20 minutes and serve. Bon appetit!

It seems to me that having such a wonderful name for the salad as “traffic light”, you can make a very nice salad that looks like a traffic light. Something like that

I really liked the salad! Juicy, slightly sweet, but it really depends on the apple, I found it sweet, but I added a little lemon juice so that the apple would not darken, this added its own sourness. I decided to decorate it not with pepper rings, but just with cubes, rings are simply not convenient, Sorry for the digression, I added just a little greenery, my husband doesn’t like it in salads for some reason), the salad dressing needed half the amount, it turned out to be quite a lot. Thank you for such a delicious salad

A wonderful salad to support your immune system and lift your spirits in winter! The combination of ingredients such as pepper and apple is the best you can afford. I love peppers very much, probably my favorite vegetable, and here are such brilliant ideas. A beautiful and bright decoration, tasty and healthy filling, this salad is just what the doctor ordered after a series of New Year holidays.
