Salad with meat mushrooms and cucumbers

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to make a salad with meat, mushrooms and cucumbers? First, prepare the necessary ingredients. You can choose the meat for the salad according to your taste. It can be beef, like mine, or pork. The main thing is that the meat you choose after cooking is soft, juicy, non-rubberized. For me, the ideal choice is a beef shank on the bone or without it.

2. Step 2:

   

   Pre-boil beef until tender with the addition of salt, allspice and bay leaves. Cool the finished meat and cut into small pieces. If you want to serve the salad in a warm form, return the sliced beef to the hot broth and add it to the salad just before mixing all the ingredients.

3. Step 3:

   

   Wash the champignons, dry them and cut them into plates.

4. Step 4:

   

   Heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan, put the mushrooms and fry, stirring occasionally, until light golden brown. If desired, you can lightly season the mushrooms with salt and pepper. Remove the finished champignons from the heat and cool. If you want to serve the salad in a warm form, it is better to fry the mushrooms last, when the rest of the ingredients are chopped.

5. Step 5:

   

   Wash the bell peppers, remove the stems, cut the pulp into small oblong pieces or straws.

6. Step 6:

   

   Wash the tomatoes, dry them and cut them into not very large slices. Since I have small tomatoes, I took 4 pieces. Choose juicy tomatoes, but dense. Soft fruits do not keep their shape well, in the process of slicing and cooking they will spread into a shapeless mass and spoil the appearance of the dish.

8. Step 7:

   

   Cut the pickles into slices. You can replace pickled cucumbers with pickled or fresh ones.

9. Step 8:

   

   Now that all the main ingredients are prepared, prepare the dressing. You can replace wine vinegar with apple vinegar, or do not add it at all. To give the dressing a sweet note, you can add 1 tsp of honey to it.

10. Step 9:

    

    Peel the garlic and grate it on a fine grater or pass it through a press.

11. Step 10:

    

    In a bowl, combine vegetable oil, wine vinegar, lemon juice, garlic, salt, pepper and whisk everything thoroughly. Vegetable oil should be combined with all other ingredients.

12. Step 11:

    

    Combine vegetables and meat in a salad bowl.

13. Step 12:

    

    Pour the dressing over the salad and mix gently, trying not to overwhelm the tomatoes. Bon appetit!
