Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make a light salad of prunes, chicken, walnuts and cucumber? Very simple. To begin, prepare all the necessary ingredients according to the list.

Step 2

Step 2
Salt and pepper the chicken fillet. Wrap the fillet in foil and bake in the oven at 180°C for about 25 minutes until done.

Step 3

Step 3
Cool the finished fillet and cut into small cubes. If you wish, instead of baking, you can boil the fillet in salted water. However, it tastes much better with baked chicken.

Step 4

Step 4
Wash the cucumber and dry it. Cut into small cubes. The peel, if it is not rough, damaged or bitter, does not need to be cut off.

Step 5

Step 5
Wash the prunes, dry and cut into small cubes. If dried fruits are hard, steam them first. How to steam dried fruits correctly? Rinse them well, fill them with hot water and leave for 10-15 minutes. Then drain the water and dry the dried fruits with paper towels.

Step 6

Step 6
Shake the mozzarella from the brine and cut into small cubes or grate on a coarse grater.

Step 7

Step 7
Chop the walnuts with a knife or crush them with a rolling pin.

Step 8

Step 8
For dressing, take thick sour cream with a fat content of 20% or more and natural yogurt without additives. You can replace the dressing with light mayonnaise.

Step 9

Step 9
Combine sour cream with natural yogurt, salt and pepper and mix.

Step 10

Step 10
You can simply mix all the ingredients in a salad bowl, but I prefer to make the salad in a cooking ring so that all the layers are visible. A ring with a diameter of 16-18 cm is suitable. Place the chicken fillet in the first layer and brush it with sour cream and yogurt dressing.

Step 11

Step 11
Next, spread the prunes and also pour the dressing over them.

Step 12

Step 12
Place sliced cucumbers on top of the prunes and pour the dressing over them.

Step 13

Step 13
Spread shredded mozzarella over cucumbers. If you wish, you can also top with sour cream and yogurt. I didn’t water it because the mozzarella is already quite moist and juicy.

Step 14

Step 14
Spread the final layer with chopped walnuts. Place the salad in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to soak.

Step 15

Step 15
Remove the cooking ring before serving. Decorate the salad to taste and serve. Bon appetit!
