Smoked chicken salad
Description
A simple dish to prepare. Layered salads are very popular, especially those with smoked chicken. This salad contains the simplest ingredients that go well together in terms of flavor. If you preserve marinated cucumbers for the winter, you can use them instead of olives—the taste of the salad won't change much. Serve chilled.
