Chicken salad with Beijing cabbage and corn

Write a comment

Chicken salad with napa cabbage and sweet corn is a light, fresh and remarkably balanced salad that fits equally well into a weeknight family dinner or a festive table. Juicy napa cabbage with its tender, slightly sweet leaves pairs beautifully with pieces of poached chicken breast, sweet canned corn, fragrant fresh cucumber and hard-boiled eggs. It's an ideal salad for anyone who wants to eat well without heaviness or extra calories. Poach the chicken breast in salted water with bay leaf until fully cooked, cool and cut into matchsticks. Shred the napa cabbage into thin strips, slice the cucumber into half-moons and dice the eggs. Toss with the corn, dress with mayonnaise or light yogurt and add fresh herbs if you like. Proportions for 4 servings inside.

Marinated napa cabbage is a bright, savory and remarkably tasty homemade appetizer that perfectly complements chicken shawarma in lavash, any meat dishes, fish and grilled food. The flavor of this appetizer is noticeably different from the familiar white cabbage version thanks to the characteristic tenderness of napa cabbage leaves, the more delicate taste and the quick marinating. It's an ideal rescue recipe when you want something spicy and crunchy without a long wait or complicated ingredients. Shred the napa cabbage into large squares or strips. Coarsely grate the carrot and slice the onion into half-rings. In a pot prepare a hot marinade from water, vinegar, sugar, salt, peppercorns, bay leaf and vegetable oil. Pour the hot marinade over the vegetables, mix thoroughly and leave at room temperature for 4-6 hours, then refrigerate. Proportions for 1 head inside.

This bean and Korean carrot salad is a 10-minute pantry hero — a Russian favorite that throws together canned red kidney beans, spicy Korean-style julienned carrots, finely chopped onion, grated cheese and crunchy croutons into a sturdy, satisfying salad. The dressing is the simplest thing: a spoon of mayo with a pinch of garlic, no fuss required. The result is hearty, slightly spicy and full of texture in every bite. I'll share exact proportions for 4 servings, how to pick (or make from scratch) the spicy Korean carrots and a quick way to toast your own croutons in the oven or on the stovetop in just 5 minutes.

The "Turtle" salad is one of the most visually striking Russian holiday salads — the top is decorated with walnut halves arranged like the scales of a turtle's shell, with a head and legs shaped from hard-boiled egg or extra ingredients. It's hearty, deeply satisfying and built from a luxurious set of ingredients: poached chicken breast, sautéed mushrooms, sweet prunes, hard-boiled eggs, grated cheese and walnuts, all bound with mayonnaise between layers. The sweet prunes create a wonderful contrast with the salty cheese and tender chicken. After 2-3 hours in the fridge the salad is fully infused. Classic proportions for 6-8 servings inside.
