STEP BY STEP COOKING
Cooking time: 2 hours
STEP 1:

How to make a simple salad with chicken walnuts and cheese? Prepare the necessary ingredients. In addition to chicken fillet, you can use meat from chicken drumsticks or thighs – the salad will only turn out juicier.
STEP 2:

Boil the chicken fillet until tender in salted water. Cool the chicken and cut into small cubes. ! If you boil the chicken in advance, for example, in the evening, so that it does not wind up and lose its juiciness, leave it in the broth.
STEP 3:

Cheese grate on a large or medium grater.
STEP 4:

Finely chop the walnuts with a knife or chop in a blender. Set aside a few whole halves to garnish the salad.
STEP 5:

Peel the apple and core. Grate the flesh quickly on a coarse grater. The apple should be prepared last after all the other ingredients. To prevent it from darkening so quickly, you can sprinkle the grated pulp with lemon juice. Apple take sweet and sour, juicy. Suitable varieties Granny Smith and Simerinka.
STEP 6:

You can form this salad in a transparent salad bowl or on a dish in a culinary ring so that all layers are clearly visible. Put the chicken fillet in the first layer and smooth it out. My fillet turned out a little more than necessary, therefore, so that the salad would not be dry due to the thick layer of chicken, I divided the fillet into two layers. Top with mayonnaise. I transferred the mayonnaise to a pastry bag and cut off the tip to make it easier to layer the sauce.
STEP 7:

Lay the grated apple on the fillet in an even layer and also pour it with mayonnaise.
STEP 8:

Next, I distributed the remaining chicken fillet and also poured it with mayonnaise.
STEP 9:

The next layer is grated cheese and mayonnaise.
STEP 10:

The last layer is chopped walnuts. Lightly press the lettuce with your hands or with a special round nozzle for tamping. Place the salad in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours to soak. If you leave longer, tighten the form with cling film.
STEP 11:

Before serving, remove the culinary ring, decorate the salad as desired. I garnished with walnut halves, cherry tomatoes and rosemary sprigs. Enjoy yo
