Preparation
Step 1
How do you make a salad with mushrooms, onion, and egg? Prepare the needed ingredients. You can use any mushrooms; I used raw button mushrooms (champignons).
Step 2
Peel the onion, rinse it, and finely chop it. Rinse the mushrooms, pat dry, and slice. Pour a little vegetable oil into a hot skillet and sauté the onion for 1 minute. Then add the mushrooms and cook everything together for 6-7 minutes. Season with salt and spices to taste. The moisture from the mushrooms should evaporate, and the mushrooms will start to lightly brown. Transfer the fried mushrooms with onion to a plate and let cool.
Step 3
Boil the eggs and potatoes. Cover the eggs with water, bring to a boil, and cook for 7-8 minutes. Then cool the eggs in cold water. Rinse the potatoes to remove any dirt (no need to peel). Cover with water, bring to a boil, and cook for 15-20 minutes, until tender. Let cool. Peel the cooled potatoes and eggs.
Step 4
We will assemble the salad in layers. Place a serving ring on a plate and add the first layer: potatoes, grated. Spread this layer and all following layers with mayonnaise.
Step 5
Add the cooled fried mushrooms as the second layer.
Step 6
Separate the boiled eggs into whites and yolks. Grate the whites on a coarse grater and add as the next layer.
Step 7
Next comes a layer of finely chopped cucumbers.
Step 8
For the final layer, add the grated egg yolks. Gently press so the layers are more compact, then remove the serving ring. Decorate the finished salad to your taste and serve. Enjoy!
