Chicken heart salad - step-by-step recipes with photos

The chicken heart salad recipe is reminiscent of classic recipes that use regular meat. At least 20 types of salads can be prepared from such a valuable by-product as chicken hearts. But in our case there is an incomparable advantage.

Chicken hearts are a dietary food, so this dish will appeal to those who are watching their figure. They also have a unique, interesting taste. And therefore, you can pamper yourself with chicken heart salad when regular dishes are already boring.

Here are 10 recipes for the most delicious, simple and healthy salads with chicken hearts.

How to make a delicious chicken heart salad?

First of all, about general points. How to prepare a delicious salad from chicken hearts?

You just need to properly prepare the hearts themselves, because with all the other components the situation is simpler. Here are some useful tips you can use:

First, chicken hearts must be processed: fat and blood vessels are removed, and then washed under running water.

Chicken hearts are fried only in hot oil - 5-7 minutes on each side. Then simmer for another 10-15 minutes over low heat, adding a little water if necessary.

If fried food isn't your thing, no problem. You can just put out the hearts. They are placed in a small amount of boiling water and simmered for 20 minutes. Another option is to fry the onion until half cooked, put the offal on it and cook for at least 20 minutes. When all the liquid has evaporated, you need to add a little water or broth.

Finally, one more principle - after cooking, all fat or moisture should be drained off, and the hearts themselves should be cooled to room temperature. You can then cut and add to the main ingredients.

Salad with chicken hearts and onions

Let's start with a very simple, but at the same time very tasty salad with chicken hearts and onions. You can call it homemade. It’s better to eat this dish on a day off, so you don’t have to go anywhere later, but just relax in a relaxed atmosphere.

The reason is that this chicken heart salad contains onions. It is preferable to use red onion, which is also called Yalta. It is incredibly tasty, juicy, with a pleasant sweetness. And most importantly, it’s not at all caustic, and you definitely don’t need to cry from it.

What products will you need?

Chicken hearts - 400 g,
Yalta red onion - 2-3 pcs.,
fresh or pickled cucumbers - 2 pcs.,
canned green peas - 100 g,
mayonnaise for dressing.

How to prepare a salad step by step

We cut the stewed or fried (or boiled) hearts into not very small pieces - so that something will definitely get on the tooth.
We cut the onion into half rings and be sure to separate the feathers - everything should look very neat.
Now you can cut some other juicy component - for example, fresh or pickled cucumbers (in medium cubes).
Then add canned peas - they will not only enrich the taste, but also add satiety with a minimum amount of calories.
The last step is traditionally adding mayonnaise. And of course, don’t forget to decorate the salad with chicken hearts and onions with fresh herbs.

HOMEMADE MAYONNAISE (50 kcal in 1 tablespoon)

If you are very careful about your figure, you are doing the right thing. But this is not a reason to categorically refuse mayonnaise. For example, you can simply make your own homemade sauce, which, unlike industrial sauce, does not contain starch, thickeners or other dubious additives.

To do this, take 1 chicken egg yolk, only 2 dessert spoons of vegetable oil (preferably olive), juice from 1 lemon, half a teaspoon of sugar and a pinch of salt. All this is whipped together in a blender. As a result, in 1 minute we will get excellent homemade mayonnaise.
