For the recipesalad "Temptation" you can use absolutely any meat. The main thing is that it be smoked. At the discretion of the hostess or the desire of guests, smoked chicken breast can be replaced with boiled pork or ham.

To decorate a salad, you can use not only fresh parsley leaves, but also canned corn, which will add brightness to the dish. Salad "Temptation" with chicken can be presented in the form of a puff cake, or it can be casually scattered and awkwardly mixed products.

If desired, instead of canned mushrooms, you can take fresh champignons. Sauteed mushrooms will be richer in flavor. However, in order to save time, we still recommend using ready-made ingredients.

How to make Temptation salad

In the layered version, the chicken fillet (or the type of smoked meat that was chosen) is cut into long, but rather thin slices. Lay the chicken pieces on the bottom of a flat plate. Mushrooms can be cut into two parts. If these are small mushrooms, then leave them in their original form. This will be the second layer of the Temptation salad. Coat generously with mayonnaise. This will be the first and only inner layer.

Put the cheese on the mushrooms. It can be cut into small cubes or use a coarse grater. The taste of the dish will not change. Lightly crush the s alted peanuts in a mortar and sprinkle on top of the cheese layer. Next comes the crackers. It remains only to add a couple of parsley leaves, and the salad is ready. If you dolayered version of the salad, we advise you to put it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

The "sloppy" way of making salad is very common in restaurants. In a separate container, lettuce leaves and mayonnaise torn into arbitrary parts are mixed. We spread the leaves soaked in the sauce on the bottom of the plate. From above we “throw” strips of meat, add mushrooms. Grind the cheese with a fine grater and mix it with s alted nuts grated in a mortar. This mass will be on top of the mushrooms. It remains only to add the finishing touches - croutons and green parsley leaves.
