How to make Chicken and Asparagus Salad
Prepare the Potatoes
- Step 1
Wash the potatoes thoroughly and boil them with their skins in salted water.
- Step 2
Once the potatoes are cooked, remove them from the heat and leave them in the water until they cool. Peel the potatoes and cut them into medium-sized slices.
Make the Sauce
- Step 1
In a bowl, combine the mayonnaise, lemon juice, curry powder, white wine, salt, and pepper to taste.
- Step 2
Whisk the ingredients well to create a sauce. If you prefer a lighter consistency, you can add a bit of heavy cream.
Cook the Chicken
- Step 1
Heat a little olive oil in a skillet and cook the chicken breast fillets, which should be thinly sliced and seasoned with salt and pepper beforehand.
- Step 2
Once the chicken fillets are cooked, cut them into strips.
Prepare the Asparagus
- Step 1
Clean the asparagus and blanch them in boiling water for just a few minutes.
- Step 2
In the same skillet where the chicken was cooked, sauté the asparagus for a couple of minutes over low heat.
Assemble the Salad
- Step 1
In a serving dish, create a base with the soybean sprouts, followed by the potatoes, chicken strips, and asparagus.
- Step 2
Season lightly with salt and drizzle some of the prepared mayonnaise, curry, lemon, and wine sauce over the top.
