Chicken and mushroom salad
Description
Perfect for everyday meals. In any salad, the key is the combination of ingredients and dressing. The chicken and mushroom salad made at home is great because it contains nothing superfluous, and the nuts add a special piquancy—usually walnuts are used, but you can take any other nuts. Garnish as desired and serve.

5. Top with some finely chopped onion. If desired, the onion can be marinated beforehand or scalded with boiling water to remove its bitterness. Next, add a layer of fried mushrooms, which should be slightly cooled first. Whether or not to cover the mushrooms with mayonnaise is a matter of personal preference.
