The holiday is just around the corner, so it's time, it's time to think about... One of my favorite recipes is the “Air” salad. Although it may seem too simple to some, I assure you that it will definitely not disappoint you in taste. And due to the fact that it is made in layers, the salad looks very elegant and solemn. And this is exactly what is needed for New Year's menu, is not it? In addition, it can be served in portions, and such recipes always look more advantageous than salads served in a common plate. Just take care of the dishes for it in advance (preferably glass, so that the layers are visible), and you will have a magnificent New Year’s salad that all guests will definitely enjoy.

Ingredients:
For 1 serving:

- 100 chicken fillet;
- 30 g hard cheese;
- 1 egg;
- 2 tsp. mayonnaise;
- half a small onion;
- greens for decoration.
New Year's salad "Air" - recipe with photo.

How to cook with photos step by step

Wash the chicken fillet thoroughly. Then boil in salted water for 25 minutes: the breasts cook quickly enough, this time will be quite enough. Cool the breast until room temperature. And then cut the boiled fillet into small cubes, with a side of about 0.5-0.7 cm.

Peel the onion and cut it into cubes again.

Boil eggs hard. It's very simple - just put them in boiling water and cook for 10 minutes. Then the yolk will become hard. Cool the eggs too, then peel and grate them on a medium grater.

Cheese for our New Year's salad According to the recipe, we also grate it on a medium grater.

We choose a container for the salad and begin to layer the ingredients. The first layer is chicken fillet.

Then place the onions.

And lightly grease with mayonnaise.

This is followed by the egg layer.

And again - mayonnaise.

And now it's time for grated cheese.

The final touch is to decorate the salad with herbs.
That's all, you can serve our “Air” salad on the New Year’s table.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you!

Tips and tricks:
Sometimes chicken breasts sold in stores have a small amount of fat on them. For this recipe we only need meat, so this fat must be carefully trimmed. We do the same with films - if there are any on those breasts that you bought for preparing the New Year's salad "Air", do not forget to remove them too.
After you've boiled the chicken, you'll be left with broth. We won’t need it for the salad, but you can easily use it to prepare other dishes: for example, many sauces are based on chicken broth.
Many people cry when they peel and cut onions. This can be easily avoided if you chew gum while processing the onions: such a simple method will certainly save you from unnecessary tears.

I recommend using homemade eggs, that is, those with an orange, bright yolk: dishes with them look much more appetizing. And store-bought eggs, as a rule, have yolks that are too pale yellow.
I advise you to make mayonnaise yourself rather than buy it in a store. Firstly, it turns out much tastier, and secondly, it’s healthier - because you know exactly what is included in the sauce you prepared yourself. And you don’t have to be afraid that you won’t be able to do it - it’s done very simply, quickly and does not require special skills.
As for cheese, any will do. hard cheese, the taste of which you like. Sometimes I make this salad with processed cheese- It turns out very tasty too. The main rule is that the cheese in both cases must be of good quality.
Please note that the layers in the salad do not need to be flattened - the salad is called “Airy” because it is easily mixed due to the fact that the ingredients are not compacted, but are quietly arranged. This rule especially applies to the cheese layer, the very last one.

This New Year's salad recipe is good because the ingredients for it can be prepared in advance: prepare the onions, boil and chop the fillet, do the same with the egg... You can even grate the cheese the day before, but in this case, be sure to pack it well so that it does not dry out. Then, before serving the salad, all you have to do is “assemble” the salad, and this is very simple and quick. That's why it's great for New Year's table: you will still have time to take care of the rest of the dishes that require attention immediately before the feast, set the table, and get yourself in order.
