Step 1
For the salad, we will need smoked chicken. Basically, you can use any smoked poultry. Slice the chicken fillet into long thin strips and arrange them on the bottom of a serving dish. This will be our first layer.

Step 2
Spread mayonnaise over the bottom chicken layer, covering the entire surface. Next, cut the cucumbers into thin strips and place them on top of the chicken. Season each layer with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 3
For the third layer, we need mushrooms. You can use pickled ones, but I had fresh mushrooms. I boiled them and then fried them with onion in a pan with vegetable oil until they turned a nice golden-brown color. I place the mushrooms over the cucumbers, then add mayonnaise.

Step 4
Wash the herbs. Finely chop the dill and green onion. You can never have too much herbs. They are beneficial in any amount, of course, unless they are medicinal herbs. Sprinkle the layer of mushrooms with the chopped herbs.

Step 5
The final layer consists of eggs. We've already hard-boiled and peeled them. Finely chop the eggs and sprinkle them over the top layer of the salad. Garnish the top with herbs and currant berries (or any other berries). Be assured: your guests will eagerly enjoy this salad!
