Tips to Make a Delicious Cucumber Mozzarella Chicken Salad
To simplify all of the chopping, I highly recommend this food chopper and this mini food processor. They have been a game changer for me in the kitchen! I used the chopper to dice the cucumber and tomatoes. Then, I used the smaller chopper attachment to chop the red onion. Then, I used the handheld food processor to chop the fried onions to make them finer so they’d be on each bite.
This salad is full of flavor and even better as it all marinates together in the fridge, so I always make a big batch to eat throughout the week! I typically don’t measure when I cook, but here’s a breakdown of what I typically do.
Ingredients:
- 3 Caprese chicken sausages (or sundried tomato flavors, etc.)
- 2 english cucumbers
- 12 oz herb marinated mozzarella pearls
- 2-3T marinade from mozzarella
- 10 oz snacking tomatoes
- 1/2 red onion
- 3T onions
- 3T EVOO
- 2T red wine vinegar
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Red pepper flakes and Montreal steak seasoning to taste
Directions:
- Use a peeler to peel the cucumber (optional). Then, use a knife to slice the cucumber lengthwise and cut into larger pieces. Use the food chopper to dice the cucumber.
- Half the tomatoes with a knife and dice the red onion with the small attachment on the food chopper.
- Cut the sausage in half lengthwise, then slice into quarter sized bites.
- Add in the EVOO, red wine vinegar, and salt and pepper to taste.
- Quarter the mozzarella pearls and add in the mozzarella marinade
- Add red pepper flakes and Montreal steak seasoning to taste
This is the perfect salad to toss together with random things that you have left in the fridge. I’ve added peppers and green onions before and loved that too! This was my first time adding fried onions and the crunch really elevates the whole dish!
