But about this, as well as about the other subtleties of cooking the funky salad, our recipe with photos will tell you in detail and step by step.

Ingredients for 3 servings:

Chinese cabbage - 200 g;
smoked chicken fillet - 150 g;
canned pineapples - 80 g;
hard cheese - 80 g;
mayonnaise - 2-3 tablespoons;
loaf - 2 thin slices.

How to make funky chicken salad

We remove the upper leaves from Beijing cabbage, rinse it. Dry the cabbage with a paper towel. For salad, use only the upper, tender part of the leaves. Thinly chop the cabbage.

Smoked chicken cut into small pieces - thin strips. Cheese grated on a coarse grater.

Pineapples are removed from the syrup and dried with a paper towel. We cut pineapples in the same strips as chicken.

Put chicken, cabbage, cheese and pineapple in a bowl. Add mayonnaise and mix.

combine the ingredients, season with mayonnaise

Rusks for salad can be prepared by yourself or use purchased. If you cook it yourself: cut off the crust from the loaf, cut the slices of the loaf into pieces of about 2 cm. Fry over high heat on a dry frying pan until light golden, cool to room temperature.

We form a salad using a cooking ring (but you can simply put it in a salad bowl). Set the ring in the center of the plate and fill it with salad. We level the top of the salad with a spoon, pressing lightly. Carefully remove the ring. We spread crackers on top.
