Step-by-step cooking
Step 1:
How to make a salad with chicken, prunes and mushrooms? Prepare the products. Chicken meat can be taken either boiled or smoked, with boiled the taste will be softer. Take the pitted prunes, peeled nuts.
Step 2:
How to boil potatoes and carrots for salad? Put the clean tubers in a saucepan with cold water and put them to cook over a high heat. After boiling, make the fire small. Cook the vegetables for about 25 minutes at a low boil. Check readiness with a sharp knife — it should freely pierce the tubers. Peel the boiled potatoes and grate them on a coarse grater. Place the first layer in the ring — if you are serving portions, or at the bottom of the salad bowl.
Step 3:
Fry finely chopped onion and mushrooms in a frying pan with preheated oil over low heat. Mushrooms for this salad are suitable for any — fresh, salted, pickled. The taste of your salad and its piquancy will depend on this. I took the pickled buttermilk. The time of roasting mushrooms will depend on their type. Fry ready-made for about 5 minutes, fresh longer. Cool the finished mushrooms.
Step 4:
Put the fried mushrooms and onions in the second layer.
Step 5:
Remove the skin from the chicken (I took the smoked one) and cut it into cubes. Put it in the next layer in a salad bowl. Brush the layer with mayonnaise.
Step 6:
Boil the eggs. How to cook hard-boiled eggs? So that the eggs do not crack when cooking, put them in cold water and put them to cook on a small fire. Boil the eggs for 9 minutes after boiling, then pour cold water and cool. From a sharp temperature drop, the shell will be better cleaned. Peel the cooled eggs. Grate them on a coarse grater. Peel the boiled carrots and also grate them on a coarse grater.
Step 7:
Put a layer of carrots, seal all layers with a spoon. Add a mesh of mayonnaise.
Step 8:
Then place the grated egg.
Step 9:
Add a layer of mayonnaise.
Step 10:
Pour boiling water over the prunes for 10 minutes. Then drain the water, and rinse the prunes well under running water. Dry the clean prunes with paper towels. Then finely chop it.
Step 11:
Lay the prunes in the next layer.
Step 12:
Add mayonnaise again. Grate the cheese on a coarse grater. Choose delicious, high-quality cheese, without milk fat substitutes. Both semi-solid and solid can be suitable. Sprinkle cheese on top of the salad.
Step 13:
Add finely chopped walnuts. To make the nuts tastier, you can pre-fry them in a dry frying pan. Put the salad in the refrigerator for impregnation for at least an hour.
Step 14:
Serve the salad on the table, garnished with herbs. Bon appetit!
Prepare salads only from fully chilled foods. Cooked from warm, the salad can quickly deteriorate.
It is better to prepare mayonnaise yourself. It will be tastier and healthier. See the interesting ones here

Also, as a dressing, you can use not only mayonnaise, but also sour cream or natural yogurt. They can be taken separately or mixed with mayonnaise in any proportion to your taste - this will reduce the calorie content of the dish.
Root vegetables are best washed with a brush or a hard sponge under running water.
