Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make Birch Salad with prunes? Prepare the following ingredients. Boiled breast fillet. The champignons are fresh, but can be replaced with canned ones. Boil the eggs until cooked and cool.

Step 2

Step 2
Steam the prunes and chop finely. Rinse the mushrooms well and fry with onions until tender, leaving and also frying two of them whole (for decoration). Finely chop the breast fillet. Wash the cucumbers and grate them on a coarse grater. Peel the eggs, separate the whites from the yolks, chop the whites, and leave the yolks whole for now (they will go to the very top layer).

Step 3

Step 3
Choose a suitable dish for the salad: it can be a different shaped dish, deep or flat — whatever you want. I took a rectangular shallow plate. The first layer is chopped prunes. Lightly grease with mayonnaise.

The second layer is chopped chicken fillet. Spread a little mayonnaise.

Now letʼs decorate the salad. Make a tree trunk with mayonnaise. You can make two or more thinner branches — all as desired. At the foot of the trunk, make a clearing with mushrooms — lay out parsley leaves, dill and fried champignon halves.

Step 10

Make lentils from prunes or olives (black stripes on the trunk of a birch tree), cover the leaves with chopped green onions. Before serving, keep the salad in the refrigerator.
