Salad with croutons, chicken, and tomatoes
Description
Minimum effort — excellent result. In my opinion, salads are every cook's favorite dish. After all, when preparing salads, you can use various ingredients and even experiment with seemingly incompatible combinations. I'd like to present to you my daughter's favorite salad. Just three ingredients and mayonnaise—and you get a rather tasty dish. The recipe for chicken salad with tomatoes and croutons is easy to prepare, delicious, and perfectly suitable for serving to guests. It doesn't take much time to make; the longest part is boiling the chicken breast. This salad should be prepared about 30 minutes before serving, so that the croutons have time to soften slightly but don't turn into mush. If you're really short on time, you can simplify the cooking process: simply mix all the prepared ingredients with mayonnaise and arrange them over salad greens on a large serving plate. It can be served immediately.

Step 5
On top of the mayonnaise-smeared tomatoes, place the croutons. I have round croutons that are quite large, so I arranged them like a mosaic. If your croutons are in strips, simply spread them out in an even layer.

Brush the crumb layer with oil and sprinkle with sliced olives or black olives.

To decorate the salad, you can set aside a few tomato pieces or use herbs. I happened to have a small amount of canned corn, which I used to garnish the salad.
