Layered mushroom salad
Description
The recipe won't take much time. This salad features a wonderful combination of vegetables, chicken, and fried mushrooms. It looks quite festive, but it's perfectly suitable for lunch or dinner as well. Fresh basil is used as the main herb here, though you can easily replace it with any other herb you prefer. The list of ingredients is quite simple, so I recommend keeping this recipe in mind. Serve it at the table.

4. The next layer will be mushrooms. Again, a little mayonnaise. By the way, you can spread the garlic mayonnaise only on the first two salad layers, or on all of them—whichever you prefer.
