Ingredients for making puff salad with chicken and prunes:

Prunes 100 g;
Fresh champignons 200 g;
Chicken fillet 300 g;
Eggs 3 pcs.;
Fresh cucumbers 2 pcs.;
Mayonnaise.

Recipe for puff salad with chicken and prunes:

1. The fillet must first be boiled in salted water. To do this, put the chicken in boiling salted water and cook for 10-15 minutes, depending on the size of the fillet.

After this time, take out the fillet, cool, and cut into small cubes.

2. The champignons also need to be boiled. Champignons will require a little less cooking time. I think 5-7 minutes will be enough for medium-sized mushrooms. If the mushrooms are large, cut them in half. Leave a few small mushrooms whole. They will be used for decoration.

3. Eggs also need to be boiled. We boil them hard.

4. To remove dust and possible traces of soot from prunes, you need to pour boiling water over them for a while. Then rinse thoroughly under running water and dry on a paper towel.

5. Cut the cooled champignons into small slices.

6. Cut the dried prunes into strips. Leave a couple of pieces to decorate the salad.

7. Cut the cucumbers into small strips. As mentioned above, cucumbers can be taken either fresh or pickled.

8. It's time to decorate our salad. To do this, take a deep salad bowl. We will lay out the salad in layers. We will grease each layer with mayonnaise.

Choose the sequence of layers as you wish. We recommend making it as follows: the first layer is chopped chicken fillet, the second layer is cucumbers, the third layer is boiled champignons, the fourth layer is prunes. Finish the layers with grated eggs.

9. Now we can decorate the salad with prune petals and a few small mushrooms.

Experiment! Make your own changes! If desired, you can add garlic to the salad for piquancy or chopped walnuts, which go well with prunes. If you are on a diet and mayonnaise is unacceptable to you, replace it with low-fat yogurt or sour cream.

Our salad is ready! Now you know how to prepare a delicious salad with chicken and prunes, laid out in layers. Bon appetit!

Cooking process

The washed fillet is cleaned of excess veins and boiled until tender in salted water. Transfer the chicken meat to a separate bowl, cool, and then cut into small pieces.

The boiled fillet will turn out spicy if you add a few black peppercorns and bay leaves to boiling water. This option for preparing meat is also suitable for salads made from pineapples, chicken, and prunes.

To make the chicken for the salad tender and flavorful, leave it in the marinade for one hour. To prepare it, pour sour cream into the bowl, add salt, ground pepper or, if desired, spices (cumin, ginger, dried basil).

Walnuts are poured into a bag and crushed using a rolling pin or the kernels are crushed to coarse crumbs in a blender. Several large walnut kernels are left to decorate a salad of prunes, chicken and cucumber.

Boil hard-boiled eggs in a separate bowl. They are peeled and the whites are separated from the yolks.

The cheese is grated on a fine grater.

Pickled cucumbers are cut into small cubes.

Prunes are washed with water. If the dried fruit is too hard, soak it in boiled water for fifteen minutes. At the end of the process, the prunes are cut into small cubes.

All ingredients of chicken salad with prunes are mixed in a deep bowl. The consistency of the dish is tender, so it should be carefully mixed with a spoon. Due to the fact that spices stimulate the release of juice in fresh vegetables, pepper and salt are added to the prune and smoked chicken salad before serving.

A salad with chicken and prunes, as in the photo, will turn out to be original if you arrange it in layers.

· To do this, place fillet pieces on the bottom of the dish and cover them generously with mayonnaise.

· Pour crushed egg whites onto the chicken meat and again coat the layer evenly with dressing.

· Then add prunes and nuts and cover them with a mayonnaise mesh.

· The same is done with pieces of pickled cucumbers.

· The final layer of chicken and prune salad according to the recipe will be the yolks, which are also generously poured with sauce.

What to dress the salad with?

To make the dressing in the puff salad with prunes and chicken especially tender, mix mayonnaise and yogurt in equal proportions.

You can prepare homemade mayonnaise for a salad with chicken, nuts and prunes. To do this you will need one egg, a tablespoon of lemon juice, a little mustard, salt and sugar, ground black pepper, a glass of sunflower oil.

1. Beat the egg in a blender until smooth.

2. Pour in the oil in a thin stream and beat again.

3. If homemade mayonnaise for prunes, chicken and walnuts for salad turns out to be liquid, you need to add more sunflower oil.

4. At the end, add mustard, pepper, sugar and salt.

The finished salad of chicken, cheese and prunes is placed in the refrigerator for one to two hours to soak.

Before serving, decorate the dish with parsley or dill. In a salad with prunes, mushrooms, and chicken, fresh greens will look juicy if you soak them in ice water and leave them in the refrigerator for half an hour.

Salad with chicken, cheese, prunes and walnuts is a great treat

Ingredients:

Chicken meat (fillet) - 500-600 gr.
Hard cheese - 300 gr.
Eggs - 5-6 pcs.
Prunes (pitted) - approximately 200 gr.
Garlic 1-2 cloves
Carrots (preferably cooked in Korean) - 300 gr.
Nuts - 100 gr.
Mayonnaise, herbs, spices - to taste

Divide the fillet into several parts and boil in salted water. You can add bay leaves and a mixture of spiced peas to the water. Cut the finished meat into small pieces.
Pour well-washed prunes with hot water for 10 minutes to make them softer. After this, place it on a towel and lightly blot it to remove excess liquid.
Cut the prepared prunes into strips.
Boil the eggs and separate them into whites and yolks, which we grate separately.
Making the cheese mass. Grate the cheese, add crushed garlic and mix with mayonnaise.
Fry the nuts in a dry frying pan and mix with carrots. Walnuts are mainly used. But cooking is not the place for dogma, if you don’t like walnuts, use others. It turns out very tasty with cashews, although it’s too high in calories.
Now let's assemble the salad. It all depends on the occasion. If this is a holiday option, we do it in layers. Everyday you can simply mix and decorate with greens.
We lay out the layers in the following sequence: prunes, meat, carrots with nuts, cheese mass and proteins. Season the first two layers with salt, pepper and grease with mayonnaise. We also grease the last protein layer with mayonnaise and sprinkle with yolks.
Now you just have to wait a few hours until the salad is soaked and you can start tasting.

It turns out very tasty if you use smoked meat instead of boiled meat. Let's try cooking and see for ourselves. For this option we will need:

Smoked chicken -400-500 gr.
Cheese (whatever you like) - 150-200 gr.
Potatoes - 3 large pieces.
Prunes (pitted) - 100 gr.
Walnuts - 0.5 tbsp.
Eggs 3-4 pcs.
Salt, mayonnaise, herbs - everything to taste

Let's start, as always, with preparing the products. Boil all vegetables and eggs. Cut the meat and potatoes into cubes. Finely chop the prunes and nuts. Now you can lay out the layers.
First, place the lettuce leaves, and on them thinly chopped carrots (or grated). Grease the layer with mayonnaise.
Divide the grated cheese in half. We spread one half in a second layer and grease it with mayonnaise.
We also add only half of the grated eggs on a fine grater and then add mayonnaise again.
It's the same story with potatoes.
Now it’s the turn of the nuts, lay them all out. After this layer, mayonnaise is not needed.
Next comes all the prunes.
A layer of chicken, which we grease with mayonnaise.
Now we lay out layers of the remaining potatoes and eggs.
The final layer of cheese.

If you think that too much mayonnaise is coming out, then do not grease it too much, but make a thin mayonnaise mesh.

When choosing meat, be guided by the final calorie content of the salad. If you use a leg or thigh, the meat there is much fattier than in fillet. By the way, with fillet there is less work; you don’t have to waste time and effort removing the meat from the bone.
