Tips

Why it works
Курицу остужают в бульоне, чтобы мясо не подсыхало и оставалось сочным при нарезке. Если остудить на воздухе, оно станет жестким.
Substitutions
Свежий огурец замени на 50 г редиса для кислинки. Солёные огурцы можно убрать, добавив 10 г лимонного сока.
Common mistakes
Если салат через 10 минут после смешивания стал водянистым, значит, картофель или курица не остыли до комнатной температуры.
Storing and reheating
Храни 2 дня в холодильнике, перемешав перед подачей. Разогревать нельзя — только есть холодным.
Serve with
Подавай с тонкими ломтиками чёрного хлеба или на праздничном столе с шампанским.
