All meat salads are quite tasty and nutritious. The main product company consists of a variety of ingredients: vegetables, herbs, cheese, mushrooms. These salads may well be a complete dinner, or they can be served as an appetizer before the main meal. A variety of meat is used for salads: boiled, fried and smoked. In this recipe, I suggest using the latter option.
Of course, smoked meat cannot be classified as dietary products and healthy eating. The smoking process itself is not a very useful way of cooking food. It is recommended to consume this product in moderation. And for people with gastritis, peptic ulcer disease, pyelonephritis and glaucoma, this ingredient is generally contraindicated. Since when smoked, the product is processed with smoke, as a result of which it is saturated with carcinogenic substances.
However, many housewives use it to prepare various dishes, but naturally very rarely. Since once or twice a month you can pamper yourself with goodies and this will not affect your well-being in any way. In addition, there are benefits in smoked meat. For example, in the process of smoking, all useful substances are preserved in it as much as possible. And chicken meat is generally an excellent source of protein. It contains vitamins B and PP, iron and magnesium.
