Chicken Salad with Carrots and Pickled Cucumbers
This is a Russian salad that includes just three ingredients and can be made swiftly and easily with everyday items. It's essential to cut the ingredients into large pieces to visually highlight the three main components of the dish.
You can use mayonnaise or a lighter sauce made from yogurt, mustard, and salt as a dressing.
Cut the chicken breast into longer and slightly thicker pieces.
I used homemade chicken pastrami as it's tastier and easier to slice.
Cut the carrots in the same manner.
Slice the cucumbers, then add mayonnaise and mix everything together.
Add salt and pepper to taste.
For best flavor, refrigerate for 1-2 hours to let the flavors meld, though you can serve it immediately.
Garnish to your liking and serve in a communal bowl or individual servings.
Enjoy your meal!
