Salad
Description
Perfect for everyday dining. Let's start preparing the "Basket" salad. 1. Boil one carrot. 2. Peel the second one and cut it into thin julienne strips. 3. Peel and finely chop the onion and mushrooms. 4. Cut the smoked chicken drumstick into small cubes. 5. Place the julienned carrot, onion, and mushrooms into a frying pan. Add salt. 6. Simmer the vegetables and mushrooms until the mushrooms are fully cooked. 7. In a bowl, mix mayonnaise, sour cream, and mustard. You'll get a very tasty and original salad dressing. 8. In another deep bowl, combine the cooked mushrooms, chicken, onion, and stewed carrot. Add the dressing and mix thoroughly. 9. Now transfer the salad onto a large flat plate for serving. Shape it into a round form to resemble a basket. 10. Cut hard cheese into rectangular pieces and arrange them over the salad to create the shape of a basket. Use some pieces to form the basket handle. 11. Chop fresh herbs coarsely and place them in the center of the "basket." 12. Make little flowers from radishes and boiled carrot: slice them thinly into strips and roll them up. Place these "flowers" on top of the herbs. And there you have it—an amazing, beautiful, and appetizing "Basket" salad! Admit it, such an unusual salad is incredibly simple to prepare. I was delighted the first time I made it. The recipe for the "Basket" salad is quite ordinary; the key is in its presentation. Decorate as desired and serve.
