Chicken Salad with Cucumbers and Korean Style Carrots

Yet another one chicken salad to be added to my list of recipes: tender chicken meat, boiled eggs, tasty cucumbers and spicy carrots prepare in korean style.

This salad will work great as a side or appetizer, or as a lunch meal itself, especially if you need something to take with you. It can be served plain, in a sandwich or in a wrap.

Salad can be dressed with a mix of mayo and sour cream instead of the mayo alone, if you are looking for healthier option.

Ingredients:

  • 1lb of boneless skinless chicken meat
  • 1lb of korean style carrots
  • 3 eggs
  • 4-5 baby cucumbers
  • 1/2 cups of shredded cheese
  • Salt to taste
  • Mayo to taste
