Bavarian Family Salad from Mozdok
This recipe was shared with NeMoskva by our reader, Toma Khutugova from Mozdok.
Toma wrote to us that she learned the recipe about 10 years ago when she and her mother were planning a menu for a family celebration. "We wanted to add a delicious salad to the holiday table. We found the recipe in a cookbook, and since then, the family has been making it for every holiday," Toma explains.
Toma loves to cook the Bavarian salad because it contains a small number of ingredients.
Toma also says the salad can be prepared as a standalone dish, for example, for a light dinner. She emphasizes that the dressing plays a special role in this salad!
To prepare the dish you will need:
- chicken breast (you can use turkey, it turns out no less tasty and more healthy) - about 200 g
- any hard cheese - about 150 g
- rye bread croutons (you can use garlic ones, they will be tastier) - about 30 grams
- any greens (Toma adds dill and cilantro)
- clove of garlic
- tomatoes (3 medium-sized), you can use cherry tomatoes
For the filling:
- 1 tablespoon low-fat sour cream
- 1 teaspoon of mustard
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce.
1.Fry thin slices of chicken fillet in a frying pan without oil (add salt, ground black pepper, and paprika to taste; you can use your favorite spices). Dice a medium-sized tomato. If you're using cherry tomatoes, cut them in half. Add to the warm chicken or turkey.
2. Cut the cheese into medium-sized cubes. Add to the chicken and tomatoes.
3. Prepare the dressing, finely chop the herbs and garlic.
4. Mix all ingredients thoroughly together with the dressing and sprinkle with breadcrumbs on top.
5. That's it, the salad is ready!
