In our area, Chinese cabbage is available in grocery stores at any time of the year, so I've been increasingly replacing it with iceberg or romaine lettuce in my Caesar salad! I cook almost any of its variations with Beijing: with shrimp, with bacon... You can look at the collection of Caesar salads collected on the website.
More often than all other options on our family menu, Caesar with chicken and, in my opinion, with Chinese cabbage, it tastes very harmonious. I really like to cook pastrami from chicken breast; its juicy pieces are perfect for salads! Chicken meat prepared in any way is also suitable: baked in the oven, boiled in water or steamed, etc.
Take note of the Caesar dressing recipe or prepare a mayonnaise-based sauce by adding garlic, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce or anchovies and hard cheese...
For Caesar salad with Chinese cabbage and chicken, prepare the ingredients according to the list.
Ингредиенты
Beijing cabbage - 1 head
Ready chicken breast - 0.5 pcs.
Tomatoes - 5 pcs.
Hard cheese - from 5 tbsp.
Loaf, baguette or other white bread
Garlic - 1-2 cloves
Olive oil - 1 tbsp.
Caesar dressing - up to 5 tbsp
Рецепт
1. Prepare crackers of the desired size and shape from white bread. The loaf or baguette can be cut into cubes or thin slices. You can simply tear the ciabatta into pieces with your hands. Brush or sprinkle the croutons with olive oil and sprinkle with chopped garlic. Dry the crackers on a baking sheet in the oven.
2. Cut the chicken breast into thin slices. Here is pastrami, for which I used a curry mixture as spices.
3. Wash and dry the Chinese cabbage. Then chop the leaves. If you wish, you can chop them completely or only their leaf part, after removing the dense veins.
4. Grate hard cheese. In this version, Irish white cheddar is used, and traditionally parmesan is used, which gives the same taste, but flavor analogues of parmesan will also work.
5. Assemble the salad in portions on a flat dish. First, place a heaping portion of Chinese cabbage leaves, pour about 1 tablespoon of Caesar dressing over them, and sprinkle with about 1 tablespoon of grated cheese.
6. Arrange the chicken and tomato slices.
7. Pour the second portion of the sauce over the salad. Serve immediately, accompanying the salad with crispy croutons and a good sprinkling of grated cheese.
8. Caesar salad with Chinese cabbage and chicken is ready.
9. Bon appetit!
