It can be mixed with different vegetables, cooked with yogurt and spices, as in India, or in a spicy tomato sauce, as in Mexico. This version is similar to the Soviet salad "Stolichny", but with an Italian accent. Lemon slices are responsible for the refreshing function, mayonnaise adds satiety, and olives add character. But in no case should you forget about balance, it is better not to let any ingredient prevail over the others - the acidity of the lemon is balanced by the sauce, lemon zest and the cold chicken pulp itself. If desired, all this can be turned into a pate, with a piece of good bread you will get a light and quite satisfying snack.
