This tasty salad is named after its town of origin, Varaždin. The salad consists of chicken breast fillets, mustard, mayonnaise, red pepper fillets, gherkins, apples, white wine, horseradish, salt, pepper, and parsley. In order to prepare it, chicken breasts should first be cooked with root vegetables.

When the meat is cooked, it is then taken out of the pot and cut into strips. Apples, red peppers, and gherkins are also cut into strips, then combined with the meat, mustard, and mayonnaise. The salad is seasoned with salt, pepper, and horseradish.

Before serving, salata Varaždin is traditionally drizzled over with white wine and garnished with chopped parsley.
