Preparation
Step 1
I’ll use champignon mushrooms, but feel free to substitute with any mushrooms you prefer. Choose your favorite cheese.
Step 2
Wash the carrots and potatoes. Without peeling, place them in water, bring to a boil, and cook for 20–23 minutes until soft. Boil the eggs for 7–8 minutes, then cool in cold water. Let all ingredients cool before peeling.
Step 3
Pour boiling water over the prunes and let them soak for 10–15 minutes. Then rinse and squeeze out the water.
Step 4
Dice the chicken fillet into small pieces and sauté in a little vegetable oil for 7–10 minutes. Add a pinch of salt. Transfer to a plate and let it cool.
Step 5
Peel the onion. Rinse the mushrooms under running water. Finely chop the onions and mushrooms.
Step 6
Sauté the mushrooms and onions together for 8–10 minutes. The mushrooms will shrink. Add a bit of salt. Let the mixture cool completely.
Step 7
Place a serving ring on a plate. First, grate and layer the cooked potato. Lightly spread with mayonnaise. Continue lightly spreading mayo after each layer. Add the sautéed mushrooms as the second layer.
Step 8
Add the cooked chicken as the third layer, pressing it gently to make it compact.
Step 9
Grate the boiled carrot and add it as the next layer. Then add a layer of grated boiled eggs.
Step 10
Finely chop the soaked prunes. Roughly chop the walnuts with a knife. You can lightly toast the nuts for extra aroma. Add a layer of prunes and walnuts.
Step 11
Finish with a layer of grated cheese. Carefully remove the serving ring. Let the salad chill slightly before serving. Decorate as desired. Enjoy!
