Salpicón generally means “cocktail salad” and while in some countries it can be a type of fruit salad, in Bolivia it specifically refers to a chicken dish such as this one.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup cooked soybeans (optional)
- 1 pound of shredded (pulled) cooked chicken breast (cooked in water with onion, parsley, garlic and salt)
- 1 ½ cups squash with peel, cooked in water for a few minutes and thickly shredded
- 1 ¾ cups carrot, shredded
- 1 ½ cups cabbage, finely chopped
- Chopped celery stalks, to taste
- 1 cup onion, finely chopped
- 3 tablespoons parsley, chopped
- 7 tablespoons mayonnaise
- Salt, to taste
Steps:
Mix everything together and serve cold. The dish is more attractive when served with lettuce and decorated with tomatoes. It is often accompanied with white rice.
