I believe most of you already make chicken salad. I just wanted to share my way of doing it. I hope you like


Chicken Salad:

Ingredients:
25 pitted olives
70g cheese like gouda, emmental, etc
50g blue cheese like roquefort, gorgonzola
450g chicken breast fillets
250g mushrooms, sliced
130g red pepper, cut into small pieces
130g carrot, cut into small pieces
1 spring of rosemary
3-4 sage leaves
1 litre water
1/2 lemon
Salt
100g canned corn
150g cherry tomatoes, cut in half
20g extra virgin olive oil


Preparation:
    * Chop olives for 1 sec on Speed 4-5. If you want to chop smaller repeat and then set aside
    * Chop cheeses for 4 seconds on Speed 5-6 and set aside together with olives
    * Put chopped mushrooms, peppers and carrots in Varoma Bowl
    * Wet baking paper under the tap water and then squeeze it with your hands (gently not to tear the paper). Put it in Varoma Tray
    * Place chicken fillets. Put rosemary (as whole) and sage leaves over chicken. Fold the baking paper over chicken and close. Put Varoma Lid ON
    * Put water, salt and lemon in TM Bowl. Place Varoma Bowl and Varoma Tray. Steam for 20 minutes at Varoma Temperature on Speed 1
    * Cut chicken into strips. After cooled down put all the ingredients (chicken, veggies, olives, cheeses, corns and cherries) in a deep bowl. Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and mix. Let it rest a while in the fridge and then serve

Thanks farfallina.  Always interesting to see what others do. Got a bit of a surprise when I saw cherries in the Method - but trealised that they are the cherry tomatoes.

Maybe we can really try to use actual cherries
Who knows! maybe it would turn out great as your apple-mushroom soup;)

LOL - it was not my soup - I stole the recipe from somebody with better taste & knowledge 

Can't see why it wouldn't work with cherries - it is a salad.
