Moscow Salad (Russian Cooking)

1. 1

   Peel the bell peppers.

2. 2

   Personally, I like to skewer the peppers on cooking chopsticks, warm them over a flame until the skin starts to burn a little, then run under cold water and peel the skin off.

3. 3

   Slice the peeled bell peppers.

4. 4

   If you're using canned mushrooms, drain away any liquid before use.

5. 5

   Sprinkle some salt and pepper over the chicken and heat in a frying pan until thoroughly cooked through.

6. 6

   Slice the chicken into long strips.

7. 7

   If you're using chicken fillets, try tearing the chicken into strips.

8. 8

   Chuck the sliced bell peppers, mushrooms and chicken into a large bowl and stir in the mayonnaise well.

9. 9

   Then it's ready.

10. 10

    Give it a quick taste and season with extra salt and pepper if it needs it.

11. 11

    Try adding a dash of curry powder to this salad for a completely different flavour.

12. 12

    Stir in as much as you want when you're adding the mayonnaise.

13. 13

    If you want to add a garnish to this salad I recommend powdered paprika, dried parsley or dill.

    I used a sprinkling of dried parsley in the top photo.
