Recipe 2: Leshy salad in layers with pickled cucumbers and champignons

Layered salad, which is found in different sources under different names: “Forest stump”. “Autumn”, “Oak”, and I like this name. The salad is very harmonious and balanced in its combination of flavors.

• Potatoes medium 2 pcs.
• Mayonnaise
• Chicken breast (fillet) ½ pcs.
• Dill for decoration
• Pickled cucumbers (6-8 cm) 3 pcs.
• Mustard ½ tsp.
• Marinated champignons 100 g
• Black pepper
• Egg 1 PC.

Boil the chicken fillet. We also boil jacket potatoes and hard-boiled eggs.

Cool the meat

Cut into small cubes, add black pepper, salt (if you didn’t add salt during cooking) and mustard. Mix and leave.

We also cool and peel the potatoes.

I will be assembling the salad on a plate, so I put up the sides. You can simply collect it in a salad bowl. Grate 1 potato (the larger of the 2) on a coarse grater and place it in the first layer of lettuce. Lubricate with mayonnaise

Place chopped chicken breast on top and also grease with mayonnaise

Grate the cucumbers and squeeze out the liquid. Place a third layer on the salad, grease with mayonnaise

Set aside the marinated champignons to drain the marinade. Then finely chop.

We spread the mushrooms in the 4th layer, grease with mayonnaise.

I removed the sides for the photo to make it easier to see. Lubricate the layer with maonnaise

Grind a boiled egg, place it on a layer of mushrooms (this will be the 5th layer) and lightly grease it with mayonnaise (I didn’t grease this layer)

The last, final layer is the second potato, grated.

Lubricate the top of the salad well with mayonnaise and decorate with dill, which resembles pine needles.

And this is a version of the portioned Leshy salad in a glass. The layers are also laid out and also lightly greased with mayonnaise.

Recipe 3: Classic Leshy salad

• Chicken fillet 200 gr.
• Champignons 200 gr.
• Onion 1 pc.
• Hard cheese 100 gr.
• Eggs 2 pcs.
• Walnuts 50 gr.
• Mayonnaise 5 tbsp.
• Olives 13 pcs.
• Greens 1 bunch.
• Vegetable oil 2 tbsp.

Ingredients. Pre-cook the chicken fillet and eggs.

Roughly chop the champignons and onions.

Pour vegetable oil into a frying pan and heat over high heat, then reduce to medium and fry the champignons.

Then add onions to them and fry until tender. Then place the pan in cold water to cool it faster.

Using a grater with large holes, grate hard cheese and eggs. Set aside some of the cheese separately for decoration.

Cut the chicken fillet in any order.

We clean the walnuts from shells and partitions, chop them with a knife. Place the prepared ingredients into a large mixing bowl - chicken fillet, eggs, cheese, walnuts.

Greens - parsley, dill or green onions (whatever you have) finely chop and add to the same plate.

Season the salad with mayonnaise and mix. Then taste for salt, add salt if necessary and stir.

We take a dish on which we will serve the salad. Place a glass in the center and place the salad in a heap in a circle, tamping it down with a spoon.

Then, carefully turning it in a circular motion, remove the glass.

Decorate the salad. First, spread the hard cheese that we saved for this on all surfaces.

Cut the olives lengthwise into two parts. Visually divide the salad into 5 segments and arrange flowers from the olives, gently pressing them into the salad. You can first lay out the top 5 petals to distribute them evenly over the surface of the salad, and then the rest of the petals.

We decorate the free space between the flowers with herbs; if you have parsley, lay out leaves or sprigs of dill. I have green onions, I cut them about 5 cm long and laid them out a few at a time.

I used finely chopped tomato to decorate the center of the flowers, you can use red pepper or sweet corn for the yellow center. I did not include them in the ingredients.

Leshy salad is ready and ready to serve. After the photo session, the thought came that it was possible to also build a flower in the center at the bottom of the dish. But everything has already been done))). Bon appetit.

!!! Before putting the salad on the plate, taste it, I didn’t have enough cucumber for freshness, so I added it. Although there are no comrades in taste and color, so try and think whether you have enough in the salad.

How to prepare Leshy salad with other products?

For cooking, you can take either smoked chicken (leg) or a more dietary boiled chicken breast. It is better to take mushrooms for this salad: champignons. In any form? Focus on your taste.

The original recipe calls for marinated whole champignons, which need to be cut into quarters and added to the salad. However, you can get creative and add not pickled, but lightly fried champignons with onions.

Recipe 4: Leshy salad with corn and pine nuts

A very satisfying salad made from available ingredients. Unless, of course, you have wild mushrooms. A small handful of pine nuts adds a special note to the taste. Help yourself!!!

• Mushrooms (Fried forest) - 250 g
• Chicken egg - 4 pcs
• Corn - 1 ban.
• Pine nuts - 1 handful.
• Sour cream (to taste) - 30 g
• Mayonnaise (to taste) - 30 g
• Green onion - 1 bunch.
• Black pepper (ground)

Fry wild mushrooms in a small amount of oil, add salt to taste and add your favorite spices as desired. I sautéed the mushrooms in ghee with chopped red onions. My mushrooms were frozen, already boiled and chopped. I defrosted them first. Boil the eggs hard. Cool the eggs and fried mushrooms.
Place mushrooms in a salad bowl, corn from a jar (drain the liquid), chop eggs.

Chop a bunch of green onions, add salt and pepper to taste. Add sour cream and mayonnaise.

Mix.

And the final touch is a handful of pine nuts. You don’t have to add it, but with nuts the salad becomes festive. Stir and serve.

Salad "Leshy" rich in vitamins and minerals such as: vitamin A - 11.6%, vitamin B5 - 14.1%, vitamin E - 20.4%, vitamin PP - 37.9%, magnesium - 12.2%, phosphorus - 21 .3%, cobalt - 75.1%, manganese - 11.8%, chromium - 27.5%, zinc - 12.1%

What are the benefits of "Leshy" Salad?

• Vitamin A responsible for normal development, reproductive function, skin and eye health, and maintaining immunity.
• Vitamin B5 participates in protein, fat, carbohydrate metabolism, cholesterol metabolism, the synthesis of a number of hormones, hemoglobin, promotes the absorption of amino acids and sugars in the intestines, supports the function of the adrenal cortex. A lack of pantothenic acid can lead to damage to the skin and mucous membranes.
• Vitamin E has antioxidant properties, is necessary for the functioning of the gonads and heart muscle, and is a universal stabilizer of cell membranes. With vitamin E deficiency, hemolysis of erythrocytes and neurological disorders are observed.
• Vitamin PP participates in redox reactions of energy metabolism. Insufficient vitamin intake is accompanied by disruption of the normal condition of the skin, gastrointestinal tract and nervous system.
• Magnesium participates in energy metabolism, synthesis of proteins, nucleic acids, has a stabilizing effect on membranes, and is necessary to maintain homeostasis of calcium, potassium and sodium. A lack of magnesium leads to hypomagnesemia, an increased risk of developing hypertension and heart disease.
• Phosphorus takes part in many physiological processes, including energy metabolism, regulates acid-base balance, is part of phospholipids, nucleotides and nucleic acids, and is necessary for the mineralization of bones and teeth. Deficiency leads to anorexia, anemia, and rickets.
• Cobalt is part of vitamin B12. Activates enzymes of fatty acid metabolism and folic acid metabolism.
• Manganese participates in the formation of bone and connective tissue, is part of enzymes involved in the metabolism of amino acids, carbohydrates, catecholamines; necessary for the synthesis of cholesterol and nucleotides. Insufficient consumption is accompanied by slower growth, disturbances in the reproductive system, increased fragility of bone tissue, and disturbances in carbohydrate and lipid metabolism.
• Chromium participates in the regulation of blood glucose levels, enhancing the effect of insulin. Deficiency leads to decreased glucose tolerance.
• Zinc is part of more than 300 enzymes, participates in the processes of synthesis and breakdown of carbohydrates, proteins, fats, nucleic acids and in the regulation of the expression of a number of genes. Insufficient consumption leads to anemia, secondary immunodeficiency, liver cirrhosis, sexual dysfunction, and the presence of fetal malformations. Research in recent years has revealed the ability of high doses of zinc to disrupt the absorption of copper and thereby contribute to the development of anemia.
