For lovers of light and healthy salads, I advise you to try beet salad with chicken, eggs and cucumbers. This is a very simple yet satisfying dish. The combination of chicken with beets and eggs always turns out to be very tender and tasty. Cucumbers will add juiciness to the dish. The salad is quite easy to prepare, and most importantly, it is quite quick and simple. Especially if you boil chicken and eggs in advance, then there will be no problems. The only thing is to serve the salad on the table immediately after cooking. After standing for 4-5 hours, it will become too watery due to pickles, which will let the juice out. And chicken breast can be used from a whole carcass baked in the oven. After all, few people like to eat white lean meat, so you always have to figure out which dish to dispose of it in.
Moreover, the necessary standard set of products can always be found in the refrigerator. Ingredients for it can be easily found on store shelves at any time of the year. Thanks to its bright colors, the salad will decorate any table and may well take pride of place on the festive table. This mouth-watering dish not only tastes good, but also contains many vitamins and nutrients. And if you wish, you can replace pickled cucumbers with fresh ones. Also, mayonnaise can be replaced with other dressings and complex sauces. And if you are preparing a salad for a holiday, then make it flaky. This will make it richer and look more elegant when served.

Step by step preparation of salad from beets, chicken, eggs and cucumbers, recipe with photo:
1. Boil eggs hard-boiled. To do this, immerse them in cold water and after boiling, cook for 8 minutes. Then transfer them to ice water so that they cool and easier to clean. Remove the shells from them and cut into cubes with sides of 7 mm.
2. Wash the chicken and boil in salted water until tender. Then cool and cut into pieces or tear along the fibers. If desired, the breast can be baked in the oven.
3. Boil the beets, cool, peel and cut like previous products. This vegetable can also be baked in the oven by wrapping it in foil. More nutrients are retained in baked products than in boiled ones. Since, unfortunately, during cooking, some of the valuable properties are digested. Slice the cucumbers as well.
4. Place all ingredients in a bowl, season with mayonnaise and salt.
5. Stir, taste, if necessary, bring it to the desired, and serve the salad to the table. If you wish, you can keep the dish in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes beforehand. Then place it on a platter, shaping it into a nice round shape with a culinary ring, and serve the treat to the table.
