Ingredients for a festive salad with chicken, cheese and hollandaise sauce

500 g chicken (thighs, drumsticks);
2-3 carrots;
100 g green olives;
70 g leeks;
150 g of cheese;
1 pomegranate;
15 g green dill.

For the hollandaise sauce:

2 large eggs;
80 g butter;
1/2 lemon;
a pinch of red pepper, salt, sugar.

How to cook a festive salad with chicken, cheese and hollandaise sauce

The salad will turn out tastier if you cook it from chicken parts in which muscles predominate - thighs, drumsticks, wings. Boil chicken pieces with dill, a few cloves of garlic and bay leaf. You can put peeled carrots in the broth so as not to cook it separately.

We clean the chicken from the skin, which should not be added to the salad. Remove the meat from the bones, disassemble into large pieces. Cut boiled carrots into thin circles, mix with chicken.

I have long since replaced onions in salads with leeks. Leek is sweeter, more tender, you can always decorate a dish with its rings, just do not forget to thoroughly wash the leek stalk from soil residues.

Cut the leek into rings, fry for 1-2 minutes in hot butter. Add the fried leek and green olives to the chicken and carrots.

For dressing, ready-made magnificent hollandaise sauce: mix the yolks with salt, sugar and juice of half a lemon, bring the mass to a thickening in a water bath, then pour in the melted butter in a thin stream. Separately, beat the whites, mix with butter and yolks, and once again bring to a thickening in the bath. Season with a pinch of red pepper, dress the salad with dressing.

We rub the salted cheese on the smallest grater, you can replace the cheese with feta cheese. Put the salad on a serving plate in a slide, sprinkle with grated cheese. The layer of cheese should be quite thick, firstly it is delicious, and secondly, the salad will look like a snow hill.

To make the salad with chicken, brynza and hollandaise sauce look festive, in order for it to have notes of freshness and a slight sourness, we decorate it with pomegranate seeds. The winter mood will be created by small sprigs of dill, which can be spread around the perimeter of the plate.

A festive salad with chicken and cheese, seasoned with hollandaise sauce, should not be prepared several hours before serving. The most optimal time is 1-2 hours, during which time the ingredients will “make friends”, but the salad will retain its freshness. I usually do this - mix all the ingredients for the salad, prepare the sauce, and about an hour before serving, season with the sauce, decorate with cheese and pomegranate seeds.

What is a bryndza? Brynza is a cheese that occupies a separate place among all varieties of cheese products. It is a very popular product in Bulgaria as well as in Russia. Cheese is added to dough products, soups, snacks, there are a large number of recipes for cheese salads.

Brynza was born in the Arab East, and it originated about 6-7 thousand years ago. An Arabian merchant named Kanana went on a long journey and took fresh milk with him. On the way, I decided to stop and have a bite, but when I opened the waterskin with milk, I found a dense white clot there, and after tasting it, I was very pleased. This is where the origin of cheese came from.

For many centuries, the inhabitants of Russia used only feta cheese as cheese, which practically did not differ from the one that we currently use. In the 60s, the cheese assortment, as you know, was very scarce. The only place where the production of this type of cheese flourished was the regions of the Caucasus and Armenia. Scientists believe that the Caucasian people owe their longevity precisely to the fact that they constantly eat this cheese and cook it according to traditional old recipes.

The benefits of cheese

Brynza is made in a special way. Cheese is not subjected to any heat treatment, due to this, all vitamins and nutrients are preserved in it. Cheese is rich in such vitamins as E, A, B, as well as trace elements necessary for the body. Cheese is a source of protein.

This cheese is good for the body and human skin and has a pleasant and delicate smell, as well as a creamy taste. If you regularly eat cheese, then elasticity, velvety and smoothness of the skin are provided for many years. It is recommended for absolutely everyone, especially pregnant and lactating women, as well as children.

If we talk about dishes using feta cheese, then undoubtedly the most popular is the Greek salad with feta cheese, the recipe of which, for many years, has been passed down from generation to generation. Ease and simplicity in preparation did their job - the salad has become a favorite dish among many peoples.

Vegetable

The cheese itself contains a very small amount of fat, and the combination of this cheese with fresh vegetables makes the dishes unusually light and dietary.

Greek salad

At home, such a salad with cheese is called "rustic" because of the simple and affordable ingredients that make up its composition. The main condition is that the cheese for it must certainly be soft and salty.

Sweet pepper - two small pieces;
A little salt;
Fresh cucumber - 4 pcs. (medium size);
