Preparation
Step 1
Boil the chicken breast in lightly salted boiling water for 20 minutes, then cool it. Chop the walnuts and toast them in a dry skillet until fragrant. Let them cool completely.
Step 2
Wash and dry the mushrooms, then cut them into pieces. Peel and finely chop the onion. Fry the mushrooms with the onion in a small amount of vegetable oil for 4-5 minutes until the onion softens and the mushrooms reduce in size. Lightly salt and let cool completely.
Step 3
Pour boiling water over the prunes and let them sit for 10 minutes to soften. Then rinse, pat dry, and cut into small pieces.
Step 4
Cut the cooled chicken fillet into small cubes.
Step 5
Assemble the salad in a ring mold placed on a plate. Start with the chicken layer and spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on top.
Step 6
Next, add the fried mushrooms. Chop the Korean-style carrots into shorter pieces and place them on top of the mushrooms. Do not add mayonnaise to these layers - they are moist enough.
Step 7
Spread the chopped prunes over the carrots and add a thin layer of mayonnaise.
Step 8
Grate a fresh cucumber (use a coarse grater) and spread it as the next layer. If the cucumber is very juicy, skip the mayonnaise or add just a little.
Step 9
Top with the toasted walnuts, spread with a light layer of mayonnaise, and carefully remove the ring mold.
Step 10
Garnish the finished salad with chopped fresh herbs, chill in the refrigerator for a bit, and serve.
Step 11
Enjoy your meal!
