- ½ tsp. – honey;
- Salt pepper;
- Black sesame.
Salad “Delight” (Chinese cabbage, baked chicken, croutons and pear)
Step-by-step preparation:
- First we need to put the chicken breast in the oven. Cut the fillet into thin strips, add a little salt and pepper. Place everything in a baking container and add olive or sunflower oil. Place in the oven for just 10 minutes. If you cook the chicken longer, it will become dry and tasteless. To keep the chicken juicy, 10 minutes is enough. This is the maximum time, no more is needed. Baking temperature 180 degrees.
- Meanwhile, while the chicken fillet is baking in the oven, take Chinese cabbage. Let's cut it into fairly large pieces. The result is cabbage rings that will disintegrate on their own on the plate.
- Now let's take the tomatoes. If you have time, you can take tomatoes and grill them. Grilled tomatoes have a very good taste and fit perfectly into any salad. This salad belongs to the category of instant salads, so we add fresh cocktail tomatoes. Cut cherry tomatoes in half, larger tomatoes into 8-10 pieces.
- In our country, pears are very rarely used in salads; apples are usually used. Abroad, everyone has long known that pears can be used as a kind of sweet element in salads. Take a pear, cut it into medium slices and add it to the salad.
- Every salad needs a crunchy element, so we add black sesame seeds. We also use breadcrumbs. People usually don’t eat breadcrumbs like this, it’s considered weird. However, the dry, crumbled, crusty bread adds interesting flavor notes. Sprinkle the dish generously with breadcrumbs. Add salt, honey, mild mustard.
- All you have to do is add chicken fillet and our salad will be ready. After 10 minutes, the fillet was baked and remained very juicy. Immediately transfer the chicken into the salad in whole pieces.
- Now mix everything very carefully. Take a little olive oil, you can replace it with sunflower oil. Season well to keep the salad juicy. Mix again and make a presentation. Place the portion on a plate. The salad has a very beautiful color. Red, green and yellow shades are mixed here. Sprinkle the dish with sesame seeds and croutons on top. Salad ready.
Time to try a simple and very quick salad. The taste is well balanced. It has sourness, bitterness, and also sweetness. There is a nice crunch from the sesame seeds and breadcrumbs.
