Chicken salad is a dish that is most often intended for a festive table. At the same time, it can make an ordinary family dinner or lunch great. For him, boiled chicken is most often used, which is mixed with other products such as cucumbers, eggs, mushrooms, cheese, etc. However, you can also make a delicious salad from baked or smoked chicken breast. Salad is usually dressed with mayonnaise, less often with sour cream or vegetable oil. More complex sauces are also prepared. Another good thing about the salad is that it can be prepared at any time of the year, and the options for its recipes are countless. I will share one of them today.
I prepared this salad from boiled chicken breast, and seasoned it with a spicy sauce based on mayonnaise and mustard. This is a very simple version of a salad, and any chef can handle it, even one who is in the kitchen for the first time. And if you have a pre-cooked chicken, then you can prepare a salad in a matter of minutes. Fresh cucumbers add spice and juiciness to the salad. But in the winter season, you can use canned cucumbers. Since the cost of fresh vegetables is quite expensive.
