Caesar salad with Chinese cabbage

A simple and budgetary version of a well-known dish. Such a salad can be prepared in a very short time and served on a festive table or during a romantic dinner.

Ingredients:

• 300 g of Chinese cabbage;
• 200 g chicken fillet;
• 150 g Caesar sauce;
• 100 g parmesan cheese;
• 100 g croutons;
• about 50 ml of olive oil;
• garlic (can be ground);
• lettuce leaves.

Recipe:

1. We wash the chicken fillet under running water and remove the transparent film. Boil the meat in salted water over medium heat until tender.
2. We are waiting for the chicken to completely cool down and “disassemble” it into fibers with our hands. Or we cut the meat with a sharp thin knife into small squares.
3. We clear the Chinese cabbage in advance from the soil and possible dirt. Dry it on a kitchen towel and cut into strips.
4. Rub the cheese on a coarse or fine grater. The final choice depends on personal preferences - this will not affect the taste of the finished dish.
5. Put a frying pan with a thin bottom on a small fire and add a little olive oil. After a few minutes, squeeze out the garlic, add chopped white bread and fry it for 5-7 minutes. Stir the contents periodically.
6. We are waiting for the crackers to cool. If necessary, put them on a napkin so that excess fat is absorbed.
7. Put lettuce leaves on a plate. Next comes Chinese cabbage, a layer of chicken fillet, sprinkle everything with cheese and add crackers. Fill the salad with the sauce and, if desired, add a pinch of your favorite spices.

Caesar salad made from Peking cabbage and chicken is not only beautiful, but also very tasty. For beauty, you can add slices of cherry tomatoes or a few slices of bell pepper.

"Beijing" salad with corn

Sometimes you want to give up any delicacies on the table and cook a simple and unpretentious dish. The quickest option is to make a salad with foods that can almost always be found in the refrigerator.

Ingredients:

• 250 g of Chinese cabbage;
• 200 g of boiled chicken fillet;
• 50 g of green onion feathers;
• 2 chicken eggs;
• 1 can of canned corn (sweet)
• mayonnaise (sour cream) is added to taste;
• spices are added to taste and as desired.

Recipe:

We wash the Chinese cabbage thoroughly under cold water, dry it on a kitchen towel. Cut the vegetable into small strips, the width of which should not exceed 7 mm

We grind not only the "tips", but also the core. The white juicy part is not only tender, but will add color to any dish on the dinner table

Cut the washed and dried onions into small rings. Mix it with Chinese cabbage in one deep container. If desired, replace the onion arrows with any other greens

Boil chicken eggs in salted water for about 10 minutes after boiling. We drain the liquid and wait until it cools completely. Cut the eggs into cubes or three on a coarse grater. You can also use quail eggs, but only in larger quantities

Open the corn and carefully drain the liquid. For a beautiful and delicious salad with Chinese cabbage and chicken, small and tender grains are best suited. Therefore, it is worth buying high-quality preservation from a trusted manufacturer

Boil the chicken breast (or other "soft" part without the skin) over low heat until tender. This often takes no more than half an hour. The meat turns out to be much tastier if you put it in boiling water

• Cool the boiled breast to at least room temperature. Grind it with a sharp thin knife into small pieces of arbitrary shape. You can also "tear" them with your hands.
• Mix all products in a deep container and stir with a wooden spatula. Add spices to taste, and at the end, season with mayonnaise. Mix everything thoroughly again.

• Instead of a greasy dressing (if you want to make the dish dietary), use low-calorie sour cream or live yogurt without additives and sweeteners.
• Salad with Chinese cabbage, chicken and corn turns out to be incredibly tender, tasty and beautiful. The vegetable makes the dish both juicy and crunchy.

But it is recommended to serve such a dish immediately after preparation (in a common salad bowl or in portions), until the “green cuts” have lost their marketable and attractive appearance.

"Exotic" salad with apples

Apples can be bought in supermarkets all year round. Therefore, do not waste the opportunity to prepare a nutritious and healthy meal for the whole family that will not leave anyone indifferent.

Ingredients:

• 5 leaves of Chinese cabbage;
• 2 chicken eggs (or 4-5 quail eggs);
• 1 large apple with sourness;
• 1 smoked chicken breast
• a pinch of salt;
• vegetable oil.

Recipe:

We thoroughly rinse the Chinese cabbage leaves under running water and dry them on a kitchen towel. Be sure to inspect them and, if necessary, remove all rotten places

Take a sharp knife and cut the cabbage into thin strips. It is recommended to do this about 10-15 minutes before serving, so that the leaves do not have time to wilt and lose their "curliness"

Boil the eggs in salted water for exactly 8 minutes after boiling. Quail eggs cook faster. We drain the liquid and try to remove the shell as carefully as possible

• Cut into small cubes. Another option is to grate the white and yolks on a coarse grater.
• We also cut the smoked chicken breast into small pieces. In this situation, you can use both boiled and baked dietary meat.

• Rinse the apple well under the tap and dry it on a paper towel. We cut the fruit into two parts and remove the core with all the seeds. For this, it is best to use a special knife.
• Cut the fruit into small cubes. Cutting off the peel is not recommended, as it contains many useful microelements and due to this, a very tasty Peking cabbage salad with chicken will become even more beautiful.

• Combine all products in a deep bowl. Season everything with salt and olive oil. Mix thoroughly with a wooden spatula (spoon) and refrigerate for a quarter of an hour.
• After the specified time has elapsed, transfer the salad to portioned plates. For beauty, you can use a serving ring. Another option is to use a regular salad bowl.

This dish goes well with boiled potatoes or buckwheat. Therefore, this is a suitable lunch option for those who are looking after their figure and worried about the health of the stomach and the whole body.
