With chicken breast and croutons

Ingredients:

900 gr. Chinese cabbage.
400 gr. smoked chicken.
250 gr. cheese.
1 loaf of white bread.
2 tablespoons vegetable oil.
2 cloves of garlic.
Mayonnaise - to taste (are there Chinese cabbage salads without mayonnaise?).
Ground black pepper, salt and other spices - to taste.

Cooking method:

Cut the bread into cubes about 1.5 - 2 cm in size. Place the slices of bread on a baking sheet and place in the oven, preheated to 200 degrees, for 15-20 minutes.
Pour 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil into a separate container and squeeze out one clove of garlic. When all the crackers are baked until golden brown, transfer them to a container and cover with garlic oil. After this, return the crackers to the oven for 5 minutes until fully cooked.
Next, let's start preparing the salad itself. Cut the base off the Chinese cabbage and disassemble the head into leaves. Cut off a dense stalk from each leaf, and then finely chop the cabbage.
Trim all excess from the smoked chicken: remaining bones, veins, excess fat and skin. Then cut the chicken and cheese into small cubes and add to the cabbage.
Squeeze one clove of garlic into 4-5 tablespoons of mayonnaise, mix everything well and let it brew for a few minutes. Before serving, dress the salad with dressing and season with ground black pepper to taste.

It is better to mix the crackers with the main mass just before serving, otherwise they will become very soft and lose their piquant taste.
