White birch salad with chicken and prunes

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make White Birch salad with chicken and prunes? Prepare the ingredients according to the list. Boil the chicken fillet in salted water in advance until tender (cook for about 15-25 minutes from the moment the broth boils), cool it and finely chop it with a knife.

2. STEP 2

   

   You can use any mushrooms for the salad: champignons or wild mushrooms, fried, salted or pickled, whichever you like best. In each case, naturally, you will get a new, interesting taste. If using fried mushrooms, you can add pickles for a contrast of flavor. I have salted milk mushrooms, so I didn’t add cucumbers. Finely chop the mushrooms with a knife.

3. STEP 3

   

   Rinse the prunes under running water, pour boiling water over them for two minutes until they swell and become soft. Drain the water. Cut the prunes into small cubes or strips. Leave a few strips to decorate the salad.

4. STEP 4

   

   Wash the potatoes and boil them in their skins (you can check for doneness with a fork). Cool the potatoes, peel them and grate them using a medium or coarse grater.

5. STEP 5

   

   Peel the onions. Cut it into small cubes. You can use salad onions, they are without strong bitterness. Regular onions, if they seem bitter, can be marinated in vinegar or pour boiling water over them after cutting.

6. STEP 6

   

   Boil chicken eggs hard (cook for about 10 minutes from the moment the water boils). Cool the chicken eggs in cold water and peel them. Separate the whites from the yolks and grate them separately.

7. STEP 7

   

   Start assembling the layered lettuce. You can use a cooking ring or simply lay out the salad in layers in a deep salad bowl. Place the prunes in the first layer, brush them with a thin layer of mayonnaise. Next, assemble the salad in the following order: chicken fillet, mushrooms, onions, grated potatoes. Lubricate each layer with mayonnaise. You can change the sequence of layers if you wish, but the taste will not change.

8. STEP 8

   

   Place the chicken eggs last: the yolk in the center and the white rim. Using mayonnaise, remaining prunes and fresh parsley, draw a birch tree on the surface of the salad. Let the salad soak in the refrigerator and serve. Bon appetit!

The salad is really very tasty and unusual. But, I don’t fry the mushrooms, but marinate them. The taste becomes more refined and extraordinary.

It’s a good salad, it’s not difficult to prepare and it looks very beautiful, I’ll definitely make it for the holiday table. I’ll just take a rectangular dish so that the birch doesn’t turn out round, and on top of one side I definitely need to decorate it with parsley, to create an imitation of greenery.
