Salad with beets, chicken and pickled cucumber

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 2 hr 30 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make a salad with beets and pickled cucumber? Prepare the necessary ingredients. Any part of the chicken will do, I used chicken thighs. Cucumbers can be salted or pickled.

2. STEP 2

   

   Boil the chicken in boiling salted water until cooked. To ensure juicy chicken meat, place the chicken in boiling water. Cool the chicken, separate from the bones, cut into small cubes.

3. STEP 3

   

   Cook the vegetables until tender, cool. Peel the potatoes and grate them on a coarse grater.

4. STEP 4

   

   Peel the boiled carrots and chop them on a coarse grater.

5. STEP 5

   

   Hard-boil the eggs at moderate boil for 7-9 minutes. Cool the eggs in cold water and remove the shells. Divide two eggs into whites and yolks. Leave two whites, grate the remaining eggs on a coarse grater.

6. STEP 6

   

   Cut the cucumbers (I used pickled ones) into small cubes.

7. STEP 7

   

   Place the salad in layers on a flat plate. It is convenient to use a serving ring for this. Place grated potatoes in the first layer and add a little salt.

8. STEP 8

   

   Apply mayonnaise on top.

9. STEP 9

   

   Place the next layer of salted or pickled cucumbers.

10. STEP 10

    

    Then a layer of chicken and mayonnaise.

11. STEP 11

    

    Wash the greens and dry. Finely chop the green onions and sprinkle the onions evenly over the chicken layer.

12. STEP 12

    

    Place grated carrots and mayonnaise on top.

13. STEP 13

    

    The last layer is eggs. Top the salad with mayonnaise.

14. STEP 14

    

    Remove the serving ring. Also cover the sides of the salad with a thin layer of mayonnaise. To decorate the salad, you will need strips of parchment paper 3-4 cm wide. Place them on the salad perpendicular to each other.

15. STEP 15

    

    Grate the beets on a fine grater.

16. STEP 16

    

    Grind the remaining two whites in the same way.

17. STEP 17

    

    Place the grated beets in an even layer on the areas free from parchment.

18. STEP 18

    

    Remove the parchment strips and carefully place the grated whites in their place.

19. STEP 19

    

    Before serving, place dill sprigs around the circumference of the salad, and top the salad as desired. Place the salad in the refrigerator for 1 hour to soak in. Bon appetit!

I have three favorite salads: Olivier salad, herring under a fur coat and Caesar salad. Now I have a fourth favorite: salad with beets, chicken and pickled cucumber. I really liked the juiciness of the salad, I liked the combination of ingredients
