How to cook
“Tenderness” salad with chicken, mushrooms and cucumbers is prepared quickly, especially if the meat is smoked. The champignons need to be washed from any remaining soil and chopped into thin slices. Place mushrooms in a frying pan and put on fire. Vegetable oil is not added immediately, but when all the liquid has evaporated and the mushrooms begin to fry. Then add oil and add chopped onions. At the end, add a little salt and pepper if desired.
The cucumbers are washed, the edges are cut off and chopped into strips.
All that remains is to lay everything out in layers, smearing each layer with mayonnaise. The top of the salad can be decorated with pieces of mushrooms or thin slices of cucumber.
