Cheese salad recipe number 1
The first salad with cheese, which will be discussed now, does not require a large number of ingredients for its preparation, it is made quickly and turns out to be insanely tasty.
To prepare the dish, take:

- 150 g pitted prunes;
- 150 g boiled chicken fillet;
- 2 chicken eggs;
- Mayonnaise.
The scheme for preparing salad with cheese is as follows:
- Grate the selected cheese on a coarse grater. If you don't like a sausage product, then replace it with any hard cheese of your choice. But I would like to note that it is the aroma of sausage cheese that makes the salad truly spicy.
- Cut the chicken fillet across the grain into medium-sized cubes.
- Boil the eggs, cool, peel, cut into small cubes or chop on a coarse shredder.
- Wash the prunes and then soak them in boiling water for a quarter of an hour to soften them. After that, drain the water, cut the prunes into strips or arbitrary pieces. Do not grind too much, the sweetish taste of dried fruits will give the salad a special piquancy.
- Combine the prepared ingredients, season the salad with cheese with mayonnaise, mix and serve.
