Description

An easy-to-prepare dish. This beautiful and delicious salad will be a wonderful addition to your New Year's table, Easter, and other celebrations. You can use practically any salad as a base, but the distinctive feature of the popular "Nest" salad is its presentation. Everyone loves fried potatoes, and french-fried potato straws are especially tasty! We'll shape the salad like a nest, and your guests will surely remember this dish. All ingredients go perfectly together—I highly recommend it. Serve chilled.

Instructions

  1. 1

    Step 1

    Prepare all the ingredients. Boil the eggs in advance and let them cool. Thaw the chicken breast, rinse it, and dry with a paper towel.

    Step 2

    Slice the potatoes into thin strips or grate them using a Korean carrot shredder. Cover with cold water and thoroughly rinse off the starch; you can repeat this process 2-3 times. Then drain through a sieve, spread out on a clean kitchen towel, and dry well.

    Place the chicken breast on a hot skillet with oil, cover with a lid, and cook over medium heat until done, turning once. You can add a little water during cooking so it finishes steaming.

    Step 6

    Step 6

    Cut the cooked chicken breast into small cubes and transfer to a salad bowl. Add diced boiled eggs, cucumbers, and onions. You can scald the onion with boiling water beforehand to remove bitterness. Grate the cheese on a coarse grater. Season the salad with salt and pepper, add mayonnaise, and mix well.
