Recipe for “Mimosa Branch” salad:

Step-by-step instruction:

1. Wash fresh champignons and cut into small cubes. Place the mushrooms in a frying pan with heated vegetable oil. Stirring occasionally, fry the champignons over medium heat until golden brown. At the end of cooking, add dried Italian herbs, ground black pepper and salt to taste. Mix the ingredients and cool the mushrooms to room temperature.

2. Place a cooking ring with a diameter of 20 cm on a flat plate. Place the fried champignons in the first layer. Apply a mayonnaise mesh on top.

3. Peel the onions and cut them into small cubes. Place the vegetables in a frying pan with heated vegetable oil. Stirring occasionally, sauté the onions over medium heat until golden brown. Cool the vegetables to room temperature.

4. Place half of the sautéed onions on top of the mushroom layer.

5. Peel the pickled cucumbers and cut into small cubes. After squeezing out excess juice from the vegetables, place them on top of the onions. Lubricate the layer with a small amount of mayonnaise.

6. Wash the chicken fillet, remove fat and films. Boil the meat in a whole piece until tender in salted water with the addition of bay leaf and black allspice.
