Step 1
1. Mushrooms are a must for this salad. According to the classic recipe, they should be marinated, but in practice, fried mushrooms taste much better. Moreover, if you use fried mushrooms, it's better to boil chicken fillet to go with them. If, however, you use marinated mushrooms, it will be more harmonious to add sausage or beef.
