Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make a classic Stolichny salad? Prepare your food. Pre-boil potatoes, chicken, carrots and eggs and cool. Boil the vegetables in their skins; before cooking, wash them thoroughly with a brush. The cucumbers in this salad will be pickled, and the mayonnaise, according to the classics, will be Provencal, which you can prepare yourself. Place the peas in a colander to remove excess liquid.

Step 2

Step 2
How to boil chicken fillet? Boil water in a saucepan. Place the washed fillet in boiling water. Add salt, reduce heat and cook the meat for about 30 minutes, removing any foam that forms with a spoon. Pierce the fillet with the tip of a knife. If it pierces freely, it’s ready. Remove the fillets from the pan and cool. Cut the boiled chicken fillet and pickled cucumbers into cubes. Wash the green onions, dry and finely chop.

Step 3

Step 3
Place the peas in a large bowl to prepare the salad. Place the chopped chicken fillet, onions and cucumbers into a bowl with the peas.

Step 4
How to boil vegetables in their jackets? Place clean vegetables in a pan of cold water and cook over high heat. After boiling, turn the heat to low. Cook the vegetables for about 30 minutes at a low simmer. Check readiness with a sharp knife — it should pierce the tubers freely. Drain the water and cool the vegetables. Peel the boiled vegetables.

Step 5

Step 5
How to hard boil eggs? To prevent eggs from cracking during cooking, place them in cold water and cook over low heat. Boil the eggs for 9 minutes after boiling, then cover with cold water and cool. The shell will be better cleaned from a sharp temperature change. Peel the eggs, then chop them into small cubes with a knife. You can use a special mesh vegetable cutter. Place the eggs in the bowl with the salad.

Step 6

Step 6
Cut the boiled carrots into cubes. You can, like me, use the same mesh vegetable cutter. Place carrots in a bowl.

Step 7

Step 7
Cut the boiled potatoes into cubes and add to the other ingredients.

Step 8

Step 8
All that remains is to add mayonnaise and a pinch of salt to taste. You can adjust the amount of mayonnaise to your taste.

Step 9

Step 9
Mix all the ingredients in a bowl well with a spoon, and the Stolichny salad is ready!

Step 10

Step 10
To serve, you can form neatly shaped portions in the form of a slide. To do this, fill a small bowl with salad, compact it lightly and turn it over onto a plate. Then lift the bowl, and a formed mound of salad will remain on the plate. You can lay out the salad using a cooking ring. Or simply serve it in portions in bowls.
