Ingredients
- 300 grams Chicken breast (cooked and diced)
- 150 grams Cauliflower florets (steamed and diced)
- 100 grams Dill pickles (diced)
- 4 pieces Hard-boiled eggs (chopped)
- 100 grams Fresh cucumbers (diced)
- 80 grams Frozen peas (thawed)
- 150 grams Mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill (chopped)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Begin by cooking the chicken breast: season it with a pinch of salt and pepper, then boil, bake, or grill until fully cooked. Once cool, dice the chicken into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
Step 2
While the chicken cooks, steam the cauliflower florets until tender but still slightly firm. Allow them to cool and dice into small, pea-sized pieces.
Step 3
Dice the dill pickles, fresh cucumbers, and chop the hard-boiled eggs into small, uniform pieces for even texture. If the cucumbers are particularly watery, pat them dry with paper towels.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced chicken, cauliflower, dill pickles, cucumbers, eggs, and thawed peas.
Step 5
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, chopped dill, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Step 6
Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients and gently mix everything together until well-coated and evenly distributed.
Step 7
Adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if necessary. Cover the salad and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 8
Serve chilled as a light low-carb meal or as a side dish. Optionally garnish with additional chopped dill before serving.
