Turtle Salad with Chicken
Turtle Salad with Chicken is a layered festive dish. The walnuts present in its composition give the salad a special taste. Traditionally, walnuts are used chopped, as in our recipe, but you can arrange them in small pieces. The taste will not be worse for it. If the dish is prepared in advance and stored in the refrigerator for some time, mayonnaise is applied in a lattice pattern on the top layer. If it is prepared just before serving, each layer can be mixed with small portions of mayonnaise. The main ingredient is boiled chicken, which is replaced in some recipes with smoked chicken or red fish. The choice is yours, but we suggest making Turtle Salad according to our step-by-step recipe with photos.
Preparation time: 30 minutes.
