Chicken salad (Recipe) EN/ENG

Hello my dear friends, first of all let me share with you my most sincere wishes for this year, may it be a year filled with many material and spiritual blessings but above all with lots of health. Today I want to share with you the recipe of a delicious salad that acts as a garnish in our typical Christmas dish (in Venezuela) I wanted to share it with you in the middle of the Christmas season but due to lack of time I could never do it, however better late than never 😉 below I leave you the list with the ingredients that I used for the preparation of this recipe, and before I would like to make a clarification, the original recipe includes peas, but I did not add them because it was impossible to find them (in December this is one of the ingredients that most people take in supermarkets) and there are people who like to add apples, but not me, I'll leave that to your taste.

Hola mis queridos amigos, ante todo déjenme compartir con ustedes mis más sinceros deseos para este año, que sea un año lleno de muchas bendiciones materiales y espirituales pero sobre todo de mucha salud. Hoy quiero compartir con ustedes la receta de una deliciosa ensalada que actúa como guarnición en nuestro platillo típico navideño (en Venezuela) Yo quería compartirla con ustedes en plena época navideña pero por falta de tiempo nunca pude hacerlo, sin embargo más vale tarde que nunca 😉 a continuación les dejo la lista con los ingredientes que yo usé para la preparación de esta receta, y antes me gustaría hacer una aclaración, la receta original incluye guisantes, pero yo no se los añadí porque me fue imposible encontrarlos (en diciembre este es uno de los ingredientes que más se lleva la gente en los supermercados) y hay personas a las que les gusta añadir manzanas, pero no a mi, eso lo dejaré a su gusto.

First you must peel and cut the potatoes and carrots, cut them in squares not too big or too small, this way you will speed up the cooking process and on the other hand you will avoid spoiling the potatoes too much, because they are very fragile, so if they are cooked first before cutting them, they can fall apart and become a puree.

On the other hand, you must season and marinate the chicken for at least one hour so that it gets all the flavor of the seasonings, then you must boil and shred it.

Reserve all the above ingredients and now prepare the dressing. For this I decided to add in a bowl three tablespoons of mayonnaise, a pinch of salt, some finely chopped chives, crushed garlic and a tablespoon of mustard.

Then stir with a spoon to integrate all the ingredients very well.

Now in a large pot, or in a large enough container, put the boiled and cut carrots together with the potatoes and the chicken.

Finally add the dressing and stir very carefully to integrate the ingredients very well.

This is the result, delicious, I took it to share at my sister's house, we usually accompany this salad with ham bread and hallacas, it is a delicious dish.

I sincerely hope that you liked the recipe and that no matter if it is December or not you will prepare it because you can enjoy this delicacy at any time of the year. Thank you very much for your attention. Have a wonderful year, full of health.
