Edelweiss salad is inconsistent in its composition, but invariably beautiful and effective in serving. In this version, it is cooked with Korean carrots, bell peppers and champignons.

Cooking it is a pleasure - just cut the ingredients and put on a special dish with sectors. If there is no such dish, you can use a large flat plate, strictly separating the salad components from each other. The sauce should be centered in a small gravy boat or pile. Olive oil, vinegar or lemon juice can also be served in portioned bottles.

When mixing sauce, vinegar is best added in portions so as not to peroxidize. You can replace vinegar with lemon juice for a more delicate, delicate taste.

How to make Edelweiss salad

The chicken thigh should be prepared first so that it has time to cool slightly for serving. Cook the chicken. Then pour a couple of tablespoons of oil into a heated pan, fry for 5 minutes on each side, covered with a lid. Disassemble slightly cooled chicken into fibers or cut into cubes.

Cut the mushrooms into thin slices, keeping the shape of the mushroom. In the same oil in which the chicken was fried, stir the mushrooms until soft for 4-5 minutes. If desired, the mushrooms can be fried to a more crispy state.

Wash sweet peppers, remove seeds and cut into strips about 5 mm wide. Dice tomatoes, removing liquid seeds. For convenience, it is better to cut carrots into straws 4-5 cm long.

Cut a piece of loaf into small cubes. It is better if it is 2-3 days old bread, so there will be less crumbs. Heat a dry frying pan and dry to a crispy crouton. You can fry the loaf in oil, if you want harder, fragrant croutons.
