This time, celery comes to the tables as tomtom salad. This healthy appetizer recipe, prepared without adding oil, is a satisfying starter that you can consume both alongside main courses and as a salad on its own. Moreover, it is a very easy, light and practical recipe. Bon Appetit!
Peel the celery, cut it into quarters and leave it in water with lemon so that it does not turn black. While the celery is resting, add 2 cups of hot water to the chicken breast and boil it. (You can also use pre-boiled leftover chicken breasts in this recipe.)
Peel the apple, grate it with the fine side of the grater and drizzle a teaspoon of lemon on it. (You can keep a few thin slices from the apple to decorate the salad or use the whole in the salad.)
Finely chop the cooked chicken breast. Grate the celery on a fine grater and mix it with the chicken and apple in a deep bowl. Mix it with strained yoghurt, mayonnaise, finely chopped dill, chili pepper, crushed walnuts, chicken broth and salt and transfer to the serving plate.
Serve your salad cold, flattened with a fork, garnished with large walnut pieces, thin apple slices and chopped parsley. Bon Appetit!
