Original salad with pear and smoked chicken: you won't get tired of it, just like Olivier

A rare recipe can become so famous that it can eclipse the glory of the legendary Olivier salad or conquer with its simplicity of preparation, like vinaigrette.

But if some salads are not talked about, it does not mean that the recipes do not exist. Here is one example.

To prepare you will need:

• 400 g Chinese cabbage;
• 200-210 grams of smoked chicken meat;
• 1 pear;
• 70 grams of hard cheese;
• 40 g peeled walnuts;
• 4 tbsp vegetable oil;
• 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice;
• 1 tbsp sugar (no heap);
• 1 tsp mustard;
• 1-2 cloves of garlic;
• a pinch of salt.

How to cook

The cabbage needs to be separated into leaves, the tough veins cut out, and then finely chopped – about 2/3 of the head of cabbage.

Peel the nuts, disassemble the chicken, if it is not a fillet, and separate the meat from the bones, and then cut the meat into cubes.

Then mix the chicken and cabbage, add the diced pear. Its flesh should be moderately dense.

Next, crush the nuts (if necessary, they need to be fried or dried) and added to the salad.

To prepare the dressing, mix 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil with mustard, add sugar and salt, then lemon juice and mix everything with a fork.

You can add a little garlic pressed through a press to the finished sauce, add a spoonful of oil to the salad, mix and put in a salad bowl, then pour the sauce over and sprinkle with grated cheese on top.

Bon appetit!
