Cooking method

  1. Step 1:

    Step 1

    How do you make Mushroom Glade salad with button mushrooms? Gather the ingredients. Wash the potatoes and carrots and boil them until tender, then peel them. Wash, boil, and peel the eggs. Drain the liquid from the marinated mushrooms. It's best to use small mushrooms, especially if you don't want to bother cutting up larger ones. Any herbs you like will work here. I'm using dill and green onion. Choose the ham to your taste too; mine is chicken ham.

  2. Step 2:

    Step 2

    Start assembling the salad. Use a suitable dish. Mine is a small-diameter springform pan. Arrange the mushrooms cap-side down on the bottom of the pan. Keep in mind that what's on the bottom will be the top of the finished salad. So try to pack the mushrooms tightly together.

  3. Step 3:

    Step 3

    Finely chop the washed and dried herbs.

  4. Step 4:

    Step 4

    Scatter the chopped herbs over the marinated mushrooms and even out the layer.

  5. Step 5:

    Step 5

    Pipe a crosshatch of mayonnaise over the herb layer. Use any mayonnaise you like. Mine is homemade.

  6. Step 6:

    Step 6

    Cut the boiled eggs into small cubes. The fastest way is with an egg slicer/dicer like this one. But if you don't have one, a regular knife and cutting board will do.

  7. Step 7:

    Step 7

    Transfer the chopped eggs to the pan and even out the layer. You can press it down lightly with a fork so the salad doesn't fall apart when we flip it. Lightly salt this layer.

  8. Step 8:

    Step 8

    Spread mayonnaise over the egg layer.

  9. Step 9:

    Step 9

    The next layer is hard cheese, grated on a coarse grater. Use any cheese you usually use for salads.

  10. Step 10:

    Step 10

    Add the layer of grated cheese to the pan. Press it down lightly, taking care not to overdo it.

  11. Step 11:

    Step 11

    Spread mayonnaise over the cheese layer too.

  12. Step 12:

    Step 12

    Cut the ham into small cubes.

  13. Step 13:

    Step 13

    Add a layer of diced ham to the pan. Press it down gently.

  14. Step 14:

    Step 14

    Cover the ham with a crosshatch of mayonnaise.

  15. Step 15:

    Step 15

    The vegetables are the final layers. Grate the boiled carrots on a coarse grater, like the cheese.

  16. Step 16:

    Step 16

    Add the grated boiled carrot to the pan. Press it down. Salt it a little.

  17. Step 17:

    Step 17

    Spread mayonnaise over the carrots.

  18. Step 18:

    Step 18

    Grate the boiled potatoes on a coarse grater.

  19. Step 19:

    Step 19

    Add the potato layer over the carrots. Lightly salt the potatoes too. Then carefully press the whole salad down so it holds together. If you have any mayonnaise left, you can spread it on the potatoes.

  20. Step 20:

    Step 20

    Now you need to flip the salad so the mushroom glade ends up on top. Cover the pan with a flat plate.

  21. Step 21:

    Step 21

    Flip the pan and plate over together.

  22. Step 22:

    Step 22

    First remove the springform sides, then lift off the removable bottom. The Mushroom Glade salad is ready!

  23. Step 23:

    Step 23

    Cut the salad into portions like a cake and arrange them on plates. A cake server makes this easy. Enjoy!

  • It's best to make the mayonnaise yourself. It will be tastier and healthier. See some interesting homemade mayonnaise recipes here. You can also use not just mayonnaise as a dressing but sour cream or plain yogurt. Use them on their own, or mix them with mayonnaise in any ratio you like — that lowers the calorie count of the dish. If you don't care much for salty food, you can leave the egg, carrot, and potato layers unsalted — go by your own taste.
