Moreover, it has many variations, so there is room to show your culinary imagination. Well, let's try to cook?
As always, a little history
Champignon today is probably the most common mushroom. It is very popular in the cooking of different nations of the world, and it occupies not the last place in the signature dishes of famous chefs. Champignon lends itself well to cultivation “in captivity”: at home or on specialized mushroom farms. And for the first time, these mushrooms began to be cultivated in Italy about a thousand years ago, and subsequently quickly spread throughout the world and ended up in various countries. In the seventeenth century, Parisian gardeners grew champignons directly on the lawn - hence their another name: “Parisian mushrooms”.
Since that time, it has been noticed that they feel good in various underground rooms, basements, where it is dark and damp. And some high-ranking people in those years even kept special cellars to grow champignons, and this mushroom was then considered a real delicacy - a very expensive and rare dish that was intended for the elite of this world. But times have changed, and today everyone can afford a salad of fresh champignons. After all, these mushrooms are sold in any self-respecting supermarket, and they are quite inexpensive.

The recipe for a salad of fresh champignons will include the following components: one large onion, 300 grams of champignons, a medium-sized cucumber (or two small ones), a little vegetable oil, three eggs, half a glass of sour cream, hard cheese - 150 grams, several cloves of garlic, pepper and salt – according to personal preferences.
Salad with pasta, sweet peppers and chicken
Many people didn’t even know about recipes for pasta salads, but in vain - after all, such recipes are actively used in the best European restaurants and are served even at prestigious banquets. Tip: the good thing about such recipes is that you can replace some of the ingredients if you don’t have something on hand from the recipe, for example, instead of sweet peppers, tomato or fried eggplant can also be used well in this salad. The main ingredients are (for three):
- Chicken breast;
- 150 g pasta;
- Sweet red pepper;
- 8 cherry tomatoes;
- 50 g parmesan;
- Oil-dried tomatoes – 5 pcs;
- A sprig of rosemary;
- 3 tbsp. spoons of olive oil;
- Salt (we recommend sea salt) and ground black pepper (recipes work best with freshly ground pepper) - to taste.
The pepper must first be baked in the oven, the skin removed, and cut into thin strips. The pasta needs to be boiled as standard, but not until fully cooked, but a few minutes less than indicated in the instructions. Wash the chicken, dry it, place it in a thick plastic bag or in several layers of cling film and beat it well. Without taking the meat out of the bag, you need to add salt and pepper, add a little oil and spices, rub the chicken well with all this and leave for a while.
In a preheated frying pan (a grill pan is best), fry the breast until fully cooked. Cut the sun-dried tomatoes into small pieces, cut the cherry tomatoes into quarters. Rosemary needs to be finely chopped. Grate Parmesan on a medium or coarse grater.
Add all our tomatoes and bell peppers to the pan with the pasta, sprinkle everything lightly with olive oil and place on very low heat to warm thoroughly. The fried breast should be cut into thin strips. Then put the pasta with vegetables on plates, put chicken on top, sprinkle everything with cheese and rosemary. Now the salad is ready to serve and let all the recipes described please the housewives, guests and loved ones.
Let's cook simply!
- Peel the onion and chop finely. Heat a drop of vegetable oil in a frying pan and add the onion. Fry until golden.
- We do not clean fresh champignons, but only rinse them. Cut into slices, cubes - as you like. Place in a frying pan with the onions. Fry over medium heat for 5 minutes, stirring. There should be a persistent and characteristic mushroom aroma. Salt, remove from the oven and cool.
- Wash the cucumbers and cut them into small cubes (the peel can be removed, but you can also leave it on).
- Boil the eggs hard and cool. We peel the shell and separate the yolk from the white. Grate the whites coarsely and mix with mushrooms and onions. Mash the yolk with a fork.
- Press or crush the garlic (you can finely chop it with a knife - as you are used to) and add it to the yolks. Sour cream goes there too. Mix the resulting sauce until smooth. If it comes out too thick, like for dressing, then you can dilute it with a small amount of milk.
- Three hard cheeses on a grater coarsely.
- We assemble the dish in layers. The first is champignons with egg and onion. The second one is cucumbers. Spread the third layer of sour cream sauce. And the last one is grated cheese. If desired, the layers can be repeated again - then the structure will turn out tall.
- Decorate the salad with sprigs of herbs or curly egg cuts. You can crumble the yolk on top, or you can grate the cheese.
- Let the dish sit for at least half an hour and it’s ready to eat.

Preparation
- The recipe for a salad with fresh champignons in this version will be a little more difficult to implement. First, boil the chicken breast (not for long, about 15-20 minutes after boiling, but so that the flesh is not pink inside). Let it cool and remove it from the bone. We cut it finely or tear it into fibers.
- Peel the onion and cut it smaller.
- Wash the champignons and cut them as desired.
- Put it all in a frying pan with well-heated vegetable oil and simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mushrooms are soft (this will take 5-10 minutes).
- Boil the eggs hard, cool, peel, cut finely or coarsely - as you like.
- Dry the walnuts in the oven (or in the microwave) and peel them. In our case, it is enough for those fragments that fall off when we rub the nut in our palms to go away. We lay out this ingredient on the board and go over it with a rolling pin.
- Grind hard cheese finely on a grater.
- And then we lay out the ingredients in layers on a dish. The first is chicken (take half the volume). The second is half the mushrooms and onions. The third is about a third of the chopped eggs. The fourth layer is grated cheese.
- Coat each layer with mayonnaise; Having laid it down, you need to press it down a little with your palm or a spatula to make it tighter, but you shouldn’t tamp it down too much.
- Repeat a layer of breast, a layer of mushrooms, and generously coat with Provencal. We combine the remaining cheese and eggs together and cover our salad with this “fur coat”. Decorate with halves of nut centers, sprigs of parsley and dill. Then we place the dish in the refrigerator so that it is properly infused and soaked (at least an hour). And you can serve it to the table!

- Medium size potatoes - 2-3 pcs.;
- Carrots - 1-2 pcs;

- Eggs - 3 pcs.;

To prepare the Mushroom Glade salad, you will need a deep salad bowl with smooth walls or a suitable form. You can use a springform baking pan with a small diameter. For convenience, you can line the bottom, walls and sides with cling film to make it easier to remove the upside-down salad from the mold.
Boil potatoes, carrots, chicken fillet and eggs in advance. Peel eggs, peel vegetables.
Carrots and cheese for this salad need to be grated on a coarse grater. Cut the chicken meat and pickled cucumbers into small cubes. Finely chop the eggs.
Grate the potatoes on a coarse grater, add salt and pepper and mix with mayonnaise to form a puree-like mass with the consistency of very thick sour cream.
Place the champignons, caps down, on the bottom of the prepared dish. You need to place the mushrooms as closely as possible, close to each other.
Fill the spaces between the mushrooms with parsley leaves.
Place the remaining ingredients on the champignons in layers, coating with mayonnaise if necessary. Each layer must be compacted tightly with a spoon so that the layers do not crumble.
1st layer: chicken meat.
2nd layer: carrots.
3rd layer: cheese.
4th layer: eggs.
5th layer: cucumbers.
6th layer: potatoes with mayonnaise.
Carefully level the last layer with a spoon, further compacting the remaining layers.
Place the salad in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours.
Then cover the form with the salad with a flat plate on which the dish will be served and carefully turn it over.
Carefully remove the mold and remove the cling film.
