Grape salad
Description
The recipe won't take much time. I really like this salad for its uniqueness and originality. Lately, I've been craving quick-to-prepare salads with unusual ingredients. Of course, Olivier salad for New Year's is still a classic, but variety is also welcome. I particularly enjoy the combination of sweet grapes with the other salad ingredients—it turns out very piquant and unusual. If desired, instead of roasted chicken, you can use boiled chicken fillet, but I prefer my version—it comes out juicier. Serve at the table.

Prepare all the necessary ingredients. Boil the eggs hard. Rub the chicken thigh or any other part of the chicken with salt and spices, then bake in the oven until cooked through.

Step 4
Chop the walnuts and spread them as the next layer. You can slightly dry the walnuts in the oven, but I prefer to use raw walnuts because, first, the texture turns out more delicate, and second, if you dry them, their skins start to peel off, in which case you'd need to remove the skins completely.
