I assembled this salad with pomegranate and chicken and nuts in the evening so that all the layers would become friends overnight) I like this combination of products, especially since chicken breast is not only tasty, but also healthy and goes well with a lot of things. I did not place the layers in a heap on a plate, but in a deep salad bowl so that I could cover the top with cling film overnight. I increased the quantity of products by one and a half times and repeated each layer twice. Overnight the salad was perfectly soaked and became tender and soft. It is light, but at the same time quite filling. I really liked the taste, there is nothing spicy in the salad, on the contrary, boiled carrots and corn give a sweetish taste. Fried walnuts add piquancy and tart aroma) The salad looks beautiful, festive, and all the guests liked it. Delicious!
