Mushroom salad
Description
A simple dish to prepare. Even in beloved folk tales, Russian beauties had rich imaginations! They would devise various trials for their suitors or sew and embroider with magical threads. I'm sure they excelled in cooking too, but the tales remain silent about it. Probably because for a Russian beauty, cooking well is a natural talent. When I was preparing the "Russian Beauty" salad with mushrooms, I immediately pictured a cozy little hut and a warm stove. And why just chop and mix ingredients? Something special had to be invented to surprise everyone. So I came up with the idea to bake the "Russian Beauty" salad in mushroom caps. It turned out amazingly! Do give it a try. You can present the salad however you like—garnish it with herbs, cheese, or fresh vegetables. Serve it chilled.
