Layered Mushroom and Cheese Salad
BackDESCRIPTION OF THE DISH
Add festivity to your everyday table by making a tender layered mushroom and cheese salad.
The recipe for this delicious dish originates in Austrian cuisine. The combination of fried mushrooms, pickled vegetables and smoked meats makes the salad extremely savoury and filling. It feels like a cake, consisting of many layers and covered with an airy cheese coat similar to coconut flakes.
Use fresh or frozen button mushrooms to make this mushroom salad. Light and flavourful, they fry quickly, do not require pre-boiling and are available all year round.
Choose pickles with special care. They should be crispy, juicy and have a pleasant acidity.
You can substitute mayonnaise with healthy natural yoghurt and add a little garlic for flavour.
Leave the finished layered salad for an hour in the fridge. During this time, the ingredients will absorb the dressing and become even tastier and juicier.
Layered salad with Button Mushrooms, Chicken and Cheese
To make the mushroom salad look appetising on a plate, shape it with a cooking ring and decorate it with a sprig of fresh herbs as a finishing touch. Enjoy this salad on its own or as a side dish for your main course.
