"Turtle" salad with chicken and walnuts

Admin

Hello honest people. Today my piggy bank of Soviet salads is being replenished with a bright representative, almost listed in the "Red Book" salad "Turtle". I saw it on the table a long time ago and the last time I cooked it about 8 years ago. But judging by the traffic on the Internet, this salad does not suffer from lack of attention. Today we will prepare it.

Pour chicken fillet with cold water, bring to a boil and cook over low heat so that it barely boils until tender. This usually takes 30 minutes. Then remove the meat and allow to cool. Cut into cubes.

Cook eggs hard-boiled until tender (7-8 minutes) and divide into whites and yolks. Leave one yolk on the decor, and grate the rest. I left two to be on the safe side.

Put the chicken fillet on top of the protein and add a spoonful or two of yogurt. Chicken is often a little dry, so a yoghurt dressing won't hurt.

And on top - a peeled and grated apple. In my case, 2 small ones. If desired, grease with yogurt again. But there were a lot of apples and I refused it.

Time for amazing decor 😉 Then I decided to abandon the idea of ​​making a shell-shaped decoration from mayonnaise strips. For my fine mental organization, this is already too much. So I limited myself to a turtle crown, a peacock's tail, and an egg white head and legs. My daughter liked it 🙂

Step 16 of 16

Turtle salad is ready.

Conclusions: I liked this option, with the replacement of a whole can of mayonnaise with homemade yogurt. It turned out to be a rather traditional, flaky salad, which you won’t surprise anyone with, but quite tasty, with a slight sourness of an apple, a pleasant shade of nuts and juicy, thanks to yogurt, chicken. Perhaps I will even repeat it.

What do you think about the Turtle salad? Is it cooked at your home?
