Chicken Salad with Cheddar Cheese

Great Chicken Salad with Cheddar Cheese

My mum is great at making salads. And she's getting beter day by day! Just that most of hers are well..greens. I decided to take a turn to add a little bit something into her ordinary salad.

You and I agree that cooking is not only about the preparation, or the ingredients, or the nutritional value. Presentation is equally important. How you are able to make your platter taste delectable at the same time appetizing to the eyes is an exciting challenge! It is all about being creative and artistic.

So for amatuers like me, the best way to pique my creativity is of course, starting with the very basic. Salads. The following is one of the easiest salad recipes that everyone would love.

What you will need:

Purchased roasted chicken (half, shredded)
Raw cabbage / lettuce
1 clove big onion (sliced)
1 cup red onions (sliced, ringed)
1 red pepper (diced)
1 green pepper (diced)
Cucumber (diced)
Cheddar cheese (grated)
Parsely flakes
Ground black pepper
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoon olive oil
Half cup cocktails nuts and kidney beans (optional)

Directions:

1. Prepare ingredients as above in a large bowl.

2. Add in olive oil, salt, ground black pepper and grated cheddar cheese. Mix well.

3. Serve

What makes this chicken salad yummy is the cheddar cheese. Smells nice and tastes awesome. You can try to substitute the cheddar cheese with feta cheese or blue cheese.
You can also be a little creative to make use of this salad as a bread or totilla filling.

I would suggest you to part the salad into two bowls before adding in (2) and then finally mixing them altogether for so to ensure consistent distribution.

Enjoy!
