It is common to add a variety of vegetables to salads. For example, beets, carrots, potatoes and others. However, it is not always customary to add fruits to these dishes.
Many people think that pineapples or oranges will only spoil the taste of the salad. This is a big misconception, since many fruits only help the dish to reveal the full flavor potential.
Then, what is the beauty of fruit salads? Most fruits, especially pineapples and oranges, go well with meat. It is better to take boiled juicy chicken meat for salad. It is more tender, well absorbs the sweetness of the fruit. Even chicken breast is suitable for most recipes. To keep it juicy, after cooking it should be left to cool in the broth.
