Salad "Grouse Nest" with Chicken
Salad "Grouse Nest" with Chicken is a salad loved by many not only for its taste qualities but also for its original presentation. This salad will truly be a decoration for any festive table. At the same time, no special ingredients are needed for decoration; fried potato straws - and the original nest is ready. The salad also does not contain any convoluted ingredients, but at the same time, it is both hearty and light. The chicken fillet plays an important role here, which can be boiled, as I did, or baked in the oven with spices.
