Chicken salad
Description
The recipe won't take much time. I prefer to blanch tomatoes for the salad to remove the skin. Or you can simply peel them with a sharp knife. The salad is simple, made from readily available ingredients, but previously I wouldn't have thought to combine them in one dish. The best part is that I don't use mayonnaise for the dressing, but prepare it with vegetable oil. Serve at the table.
