There are many recipes for "Neapolitan" salad. That's just about how they appeared, few people know. We have chosen interesting options and propose to take them into reality. Treat your family and yourself to a "Neapolitan" salad with a touch of exotic Italy.

With ham and chicken

Delicate appetizer will be obtained by merging these two components. Salad with ham, cheese and chicken will fall in love with your family. And the guests will begin to demand an additional portion for themselves.

Products for cooking:

• Chicken fillet - 500g
• Ham - 250 - 300g
• Hard Cheese - 150g
• Fresh large cucumber, approximately 200g in weight
• Mayonnaise. The amount depends on personal preference. It must be remembered that chicken fillet is a rather moisture-absorbing product and absorbs mayonnaise. But on the other hand, an extra amount of sauce can spoil the delicate taste of ham, cheese and cucumber in a salad;
• S alt is also taken to taste. For some, the amount found in cheese and mayonnaise is enough.

Cooking technology

You can make a salad according to this recipe:

1. Rinse raw chicken breast in cold water. Boil until tender, adding s alt to the broth. Cool the poultry meat and cut into small cubes no larger than 1 centimeter.
2. My cucumbers and cut into thin sticks, not very long. We cut the ham into strips. Grind the cheese with a grater.
3. Put all the components in a salad bowl, as you like. Someone likes puff variations. Then the products are laid in layers arbitrarily, each lightly smeared with mayonnaise. You can simply mix by adding s alt and mayonnaise to the prepared ingredients. And an appetizer called "Neapolitan" salad is ready.

Don't keep it in the refrigerator for a long time. Fresh cucumber under the influence of s alt and sauce quickly releases juice.

Salad making process

Prepare onions, herbs and mushrooms for the dish. We wash the mushrooms and cut them into slices or a little smaller. We clean the onion and chop it into not very large pieces. We heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan and fatten the products until cooked. In the process, add some s alt.

Let's prepare a capacious deep bowl. We cut the ham not very large and send it to a container. Finely chop the dill greens and add it to the meat product. We open the pineapples and take them out of the liquid, then cut them into cubes and also send them to the bowl with the ham. Mushrooms with onions have already cooled down and are added to the general composition of products for the "Neapolitan" salad.

Prepare the sauce separately

Now let's start preparing a spicy sauce for filling the future salad. It is necessary to take a convenient deep, but small container. Perhaps it will be a bowl or an ordinary medium-sized ceramic mug. We put all the mayonnaise in the dishes.

Add some mustard next. We diligently mix the components of the sauce and taste. If you want more spiciness, gradually stir in the remaining mustard. And if the taste of the sauce satisfied you - fine, we will fill the salad with it.

We spread the entire mixture from the vessel and mix the "Neapolitan" salad.

Putting lettuce

For aesthete gourmets, it is important how their food looks. This salad looks very nice if you put curly green leaves under the chopped components. So, we spread the finished chopped composition on the leaves, but we don’t end there.

Grate a piece of cheese on a fine grater. Sprinkle the surface of the finished snack with cheese chips. Rinse the tomatoes. We use them for decoration by cutting into slices.

If you don't have time to decorate, just chop the tomatoes however you want and toss them with lettuce and cheese chips.

Macaroni and cheese

This salad will also cause a storm of surprise and positive taste sensations. Do you want to experience them? Then prepare these ingredients:

• Pasta - 300g Use the best variety for your salad.

The onion must be very finely chopped. Cut mushrooms to your liking. Rub the cheese on a grater. It is advisable to use a fine fraction of the device so that the mass is as homogeneous as possible. Tomatoes must be cut into cubes.

Boil pasta in lightly s alted water. Be very careful at this moment. The paste should be slightly firm. This wayItalians themselves call cooking "al dente" and cook all types of pasta only to a similar state.

Chop the olives and herbs, then whisk together the butter, mustard, ketchup and balsamic vinegar to make the dressing. The main thing is to ensure that the composition is homogeneous. Add ground pepper and s alt to this. Olives and greens are also sent to the gas station.

In a salad bowl, combine cabbage, cooled pasta, mushrooms, onion and cheese. Pour dressing over all ingredients and refrigerate for two hours. After this time, the salad is ready.

For salad you will need 300 - 400 g of boiled chicken meat. Grind it and put it on a dish in a thin layer.

Chop the onion finely. Pickled small cucumbers - straws. Cut one boiled carrot into cubes. And 2 eggs cut, as you like. Tomatoes (2 pieces) will also be cut into cubes, grated cheese.

The third layer is eggs with the addition of sour cream and mayonnaise sauce. Fourth - boiled carrots and dressing. On the surface of the salad you need to lay out the straws of gherkins.
